Eddie the alpaca was brought to The Llama Sanctuary in Tappen, British Columbia, while trapped under layers of his overgrown fleece coat.

First thought to be a llama, this Suri alpaca was underweight, unable to properly move, and covered with mites on his face. The alpaca owner had passed away, and the family contacted the sanctuary for help. The sanctuary, which provides emergency care for abandoned llamas and alpacas, shaved thirty pounds of urine- and feces-soaked fleece from his body and worked to rehabilitate Eddie.
