I welcome all to contact me to discuss animals that don't necessarily meet individual standards and wish to find a productive, quality new home.

As a Vermont Animal Cruelty Investigator,  I proudly partner with State & Local officials when needed to mitigate potential abuse or neglect situations .

I find myself in a partnership with Mother Nature & Zen working with camelids while promoting them as renewable, sustainable, and non-synthetic agricultural.

Good Day Friend! 

If you are reading this, you may have an animal or animals that you can't find a home for, no longer wish to retain in your herd, or some unexpected situation has made you question the viability of sustaining your herd.  Or maybe you know of someone in such a situation.

For whatever reason, I genuinely Welcome you My Garden of Hesperides!

  • I fully understand and respect that each breeder has certain standards that they are trying to achieve. Sometimes, Mother Nature sees things differently. May I offer my Ranch to you as a suitable outlet for animals that may not meet your expectations or find unable to sell [genetic defects, deformities, behavior issues, age, wrong sex for your needs].                                                                                                                                                    
  •  I also understand that life can throw us curve balls tossing us into a unknown future.  Without exception, I respectfully work with any individual owner experiencing a hardship or transition situation.  For those of you that need help with placement of camelids, immediate or otherwise, consider HespeGarden as an option.

Keep in mind that I have designed my facility to accomplish two goals.  One as a Vermont Registered ReHome, Relinquishment, & Rescue ShelterThe other to produce the purest, nutrient rich pellet possible. 

Sample Relinquishment Agreement

  • It is my personal mission to preserve animal welfare & well being above all else.  Furthermore, I am not in this business for the money & could care less about notoriety. 
  • Granted, there will be times when I wont make friends due to the shear nature of this business, but animals need an advocate too.

ReHome, Relinquishment, & Rescue Shelter

HespeGarden is a safe haven for camelids in need.  We offer a professional, caring, therapeutic environment for those animals that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, treated inhumanely, or just simply no longer wanted or needed. 

  • I work one on one with all animals that arrive on my Ranch to ensure a high level of sociability & comfort with humans. 
  • These animals are not statues in a pasture at HespeGarden.  Each lady & gent are unique individuals with names, personalities, quirks and emotions. 
  • Individual integration into the HespeGarden Operation Liberation Herd is reserved for those animals that require a stable, nurturing forever home.  I have room for many, but not all camelids will remain on the ranch forever.
  • Although I would love to retain all animals that grace my Ranch, those I deem as suitable pets or companions, I will seek & place in qualified homes. 

Produce the Purest, Nutrient Rich Pellet

  • I'm not a breeder or fiber person. 
  • My mission is to promote camelids in a different light.  As viable partners in sustainable, non-synthetic agriculture.
  • I've developed my own line of all natural soil enhancers.  The proceeds of these enhancement lines are currently used exclusively to offset the rescue operation expenses. 
  • My interest lie in producing the purest, nutrient rich pellet possible. 

I am not in this business to compete with breeders or fiber folk. I want only to complement what each of you is trying to do....Perfect & Further the Camelid Species. 

Therefore, on my ranch I have a very strict NON-BREEDING POLICY.  All intact boys are gelded within a few days (health permitting) of arriving at HespeGarden.  Furthermore, any animal that is placed will be done so under my formal Adoption Agreement which states "any intentional or unintentional breeding of said animal will be considered a breach of contract and will result in the relinquishment of that animal and any offspring to HespeGarden"

If I have not addressed questions you may have...contact me!

May this day bring you peace, tranquility, and harmony.
