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.
