SWLR Mission Statement
To provide safe refuge for unwanted, neglected or
abandoned llamas through intervention, education
and necessary support. To seek placement and
lifelong care for all llamas entrusted to our care. 

Welcome to Southwest Llama Rescue, Inc. (SWLR)! Please look through our pages, learn about who we are and what we do... and maybe fall in love with a llama or two!

SWLR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in
New Mexico, and funded by donations and adoption fees.

SWLR takes in llamas and alpacas that are abused and neglected, or from owners unable to keep their llamas due to failing health, aging, or lifestyle changes. We also work closely with law enforcement officials and animal control authorities.

We arrange and support foster care for those willing to adopt rescues, or for those who can provide foster care while the animals await placement. We provide information, advice, mentors and offer a long-term contract with anyone adopting one of our llamas. <more>
