Animal Feature
Meet Laura
Hello, I’m Laura. I arrived at Serenity Lane with my herd 5 years ago. Shadow and I are the oldest alpacas here, we are both 19 years old!
Don’t let my cute face fool you, I’m one of the lead trouble makers here. If we break out of our area, there’s a good chance that I’m leading the herd to freedom…or at least better grass - it’s always greener on the other side of the fence! Alpacas live in close groups, so if we are going, we all go together!!
We generally don’t spit at people, just at each other, and usually over food. I, however, have been known to spit at Paul if I think he’s not quick enough with our food
Once a year, the shearer and vet come to the farm and we get our annual check up and vaccinations, mani-pedis, teeth trimming and shearing all on the same day. It’s a stressful and expensive day, so if you are thinking of helping out, sign up for shearing day or donate to help with the cost. If you are a fibre artist, ask about buying our fibre!
WhatVisitors Are Saying
“I had the privilege of visiting Serenity Lane Animal Sanctuary last week. During my visit, I met the founders, Carolyn Carr and Paul Moed, and was greeted with warmth and kindness. As well, I interacted with the beautiful rescue animals that were friendly and approachable. I learned about Lamas too and met a recent rescue, Lily. I highly recommend a visit to this rescue! I enjoyed it so much.”

“We had a great tour today! We loved meeting all the animals and being able to get close and pet many of them. The owners were fantastic! They were welcoming and told us various stories about how the animals came to reside at the farm. The tour was not rushed and was well worth it. Highly recommend!”
