We are small group of volunteers located in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Our primary foster home is in Menlo Park, California.
Because our foster homes are private homes, we do not have daily or
scheduled hours during which we receive visitors. To make an appointment
to visit the chinchillas available for adoption, click
here.
We
do not ship or deliver animals. If you are not in Northern
California, we can try to help you find a rescue group
closer to your location. If you are in Southern California,
please check our list of rescues for
contacts nearer you.
Our
chinchillas are not to be used for breeding
of any kind, either intentional or "accidental",
for profit or to produce offspring to add to your chinchilla
family. See our adoption
policy and adoption process for
more information.
Our
adoption fee is $50 per animal. We do not adopt animals
to people under the age of 18. For
more information about any of the animals available for
adoption, contact
us.

and Babe are a pair of

came to us due to the health problems of their owner which
prevented her from being
able to physically care for the chins any longer.

Papyrus is
approximate 3 year old standard male. Thru no fault of his
own, Papyrus has lost 2 homes in under
a month (one home was moving and could not take him with
them, The second home was allergic). He is a bit shy and
was depressed at first but he is becoming more curious and
outgoing. This sweet little guy deserves a loving permanent
home.
|
|
Roy is
4 year old standard male. He likes to interact with
people and is very well-behaved.
|
|
Carson is
a very cute 3 year old violet male that is VERY people-friendly,
but can be aggressive to other chins. He has a level four
heart murmur, but according to his owner, it only seems to
affect him once every couple of months, and he feels better
after
a
day's
rest.
He would do best in an calm adult home.

Adopted

Sally is
a 3 year old standard gray female. She is talkative and interactive,
but can become nervous. Suitable for a gentle adult human
that can provide a safe and stable environment for her. We
think that she has some emotional scars from possible trauma
in her past. She needs a special human companion.

A note about special needs chinchillas:
*
If these animals are not adopted, they will always have
a loving "forever" home within our organization.
We list the animals here only because there are sometimes
people who really want to help the animals that are most
in need.
