Merlin

In late July 2018, MFS welcomed Merlin, our second-ever alpaca. He is a gentle, elder alpaca who lived on a small horse farm for many years. After his longtime companion passed away from old age, Merlin was in need of a new family since alpacas are herd animals and should never live alone. MFS had recently taken in another alpaca, Winslow, and we were also looking for a companion for him. When we heard about Merlin, we were happy to offer him a home so that the two alpacas could form their own new herd.

When Merlin first arrived, he and Winslow squabbled for a few minutes before settling down – and now they are inseparable – whether they are sleeping together in their cozy stall at night, munching on grass, or just taking it easy soaking up some sun.

Sweet Merlin passed away during the summer of 2023.
