Southwest Llama Rescue, Inc.

Southwest Llama Rescue, Inc. is a nonprofit llama rescue and adoption organization based in Kerrville, Texas, in the Texas Hill Country roughly an hour west of San Antonio. Led by Terri Watts, the organization operates as an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) and focuses on taking in abused, neglected, and unwanted llamas and alpacas across the southwestern United States.

Founded following a severe animal cruelty case in New Mexico in 2001, Southwest Llama Rescue has grown into a multi-state network of foster homes and sanctuaries. Each animal receives veterinary care upon arrival, including vaccinations, toenail trimming, gelding of intact males, and treatment of any existing health conditions. A core part of the organization's work is hands-on handling training, with volunteers working to prepare llamas to lead, load for transport, tolerate shearing, and accept routine care before placement into permanent homes.

All llamas and alpacas are placed under a non-breeding agreement, and prospective adopters undergo a facility review before a placement is arranged. Those seeking llamas for adoption in Texas will find that the Kerrville sanctuary connects adopters with animals fostered across the region, with transport coordination available for those outside the immediate area. New owners also receive mentorship and educational resources to support a successful transition into llama care.
