What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is described as the world's largest generosity movement, which has inspired hundreds of millions of people from all around the globe to do something to help others. The event is officially recognized in more than 80 countries, which encourage participation and acknowledge amazing results. Giving doesn't just mean money, it means doing something that makes a difference, whether it be in the life of someone, in a community, for animals or for the planet. We all have something to give!
| MoonShadowMoonShadow has lived in The Sanctuary for just over a year and in that time he has transformed from a shaggy, lonely and miserable wretch to a happy smiling rogue of a llama. These days, his boldness and happy face make him a favourite with visitors. He needed surgery for a huge cyst, he needed a haircut and skin treatment, he needed a carefully balanced diet, but mostly he needed love and companionship.

18 Months of Rebuilding
The Llama Sanctuary has only been at its current location in Tappen for 18 months and the canvas was completely blank when we arrived. Reconstruction has been non-stop, providing shelter and fencing for the resident llamas, but there is still a lot more to do and we really need your help to ensure The Llama Sanctuary really does live up to its name this winter!
Right: The Llama Special Care Facility (known as The Refirmary) was erected late in 2023, but didn't provide much protection from the strong winds and driving snow.
Right: A few months later and The Refirmary is looking good. The front wall and veranda are under construction now and this winter it will be the coziest llama house in town! |

A Community of Animal Lovers
Building materials are required to construct a new barn opposite The Refirmary before winter at a cost of just over $10,000. This is just a one-off expense, but we still have to find $6000 every single month to care for the llamas and continue to provide the Sanctuary services 365 days a year.
Over the years we have met some amazing people, as well as some desperate animals who inspire us to keep doing what we do every single day of the year, without a break. We have an entire community of llama-lovers, upon whom we lean for support and strength. For this we are truly grateful.
