Available for Adoption


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.

We do not adopt animals to people under the age of 18.

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 $75 per animal which includes a "care package" worth about $50. Used cages are available for a small donation.

For more information about any of the animals available for adoption, contact us.

Below are some of the chinchillas currently in need of new homes. Last modified 6/21/09

 Pairs and Groups*

* These chins are in bonded groups and must be adopted together

Nero and Apollo - are 6 year old males. They have been a pair for 6 years, but are squabbling with each other recently probably due to the stress of being surrendered and the presence of females in nearby cages. Apollo is gray and Nero is a Black Velvet. They came to us from a loving home that could no longer keep them due to allergies and asthma.

2 standard gray male chins - came to us from an Animal Services group. The chins are the victims of a foreclosure.

* 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.
