Alpaca Chappy Missing: $3K Reward

0:00An Aniston woman is turning to the public after her beloved alpaca. Chappy vanished from her therapeutic farm two weeks back. The small reddish brown guy weighs just over 100 pounds and is super friendly, making it easy for someone to just walk him right out. Now she's posted a $3,000 reward for his safe return to Redbird Willow Farm. This non-profit spot house is over 100 animals like llamas, goats, and peacocks, all aimed at helping folks heal through animal therapy. It started after the owner's son took his life nearly 10 years ago, turning grief into a mission for suicide prevention and support for other families. Michelle Hornsby is heartbroken, calling Chappy a key part of their work with kids, seniors, nursing homes, and schools. He's homegrown on the farm, trained for comfort, and like all alpacas, he thrives in a herd. Without his buddies, he's likely scared and stressed right. Now she's making it clear, no questions asked, no charges pressed, even if it was a prank or accidental buy.
