Many people do not realize what great therapy animals llamas can be. Not all llamas are cut out for this job, but there are some pretty magical llamas out there that are quite effective. We utilize three llamas to do therapy work and all three are very independent llamas that are totally bombproof. Two intact males and one female (a daughter of one of the males) llama are all registered therapy llamas through Delta Society Pet Partners.
Our llamas participate at local nursing homes, an HIV group home, Camp Korey (one of the Paul Newman "Hole in the Wall Camps" for kids with life threatening illnesses etc.), schools and any other opportunities that present themselves!
Our third Delta Society therapy llama NH Flight of the Eagle is registered to do visits for her owner Marilynn. Marilynn has Lou Gehrig's Disease or ALS and dearly loves her beloved llamas. When Marilynn was very sick and hospitalized in the early Winter of 2009, we made the decision to certify Flight. Flight was Marilynn's last baby born and has been a very accomplished show llama. Upon being certified Flight became eligible to visit Marilynn in the future when she is in the hospital.
Niki is a Delta Society Evaluator for Camelids. She rewrote their information and testing process in 2009. If you want more information about the process or being evaluated, please feel free to contact us anytime!
We love sharing our llamas with everyone and we need more llamas out there doing therapy work.......
