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.

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.

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.
