Rebel Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Rebel! He has been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is my almost 3 year old Alpaca Rebel. He was born in Hillsborough as was his father. They live at Swallow Hill Farm on Montgomery Road.

Rebel is special for so many reasons but the big one is he works with kids a lot and is a 4-H project animal for Somerset County. He helps me teach responsibility, heard work, leadership skills, public speaking and of course animal husbandry with the Alpaca Club. Plus he’s super sweet."
