Alpaca Chappy Missing: Reward Offered

0:00A three-year-old therapy alpaca, named Chappy, has vanished from Redbird Willow farm in Aniston, Alabama. Owners believe he was stolen earlier in March, with no signs of predators or escape on the property. The farm supports children and family spacing grief and trauma, and Chappy plays a big role as a gentle comfort animal. He's small, super friendly, and easy for people to approach. Owner Michelle Hornsby shared the news on the farm's Facebook page on March 19th, despite thorough searches of the property nearby woods and open areas up to a mile away, there's been no trace of him. Alpacas like Chappy stick close to home and travel in herds, so he's probably scared and might bolt if spotted alone. Still, he warms up to people quickly. A reward is out for his safe return. If you spot him or hear anything, reach the farm at Area Code 256-239-3067 or Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. At Area Code 256-236-6600, fingers crossed he makes it home soon.
