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.

| "Poor Thing" - is a blind female. She sleeps most of the time. Does hear the treats being distributed. She is not a friendly chin, but it could be that she is terrified from after being surrendered at shelter, then California Chins and being blind. That would unsettled most of us. |
|
| Lady
P is definitely a Lady with lots of attitude. If she likes you she can be the sweetest Lady around. Or if she is not in the mood or does not like you she lets you know in no uncertain terms; She will stand up on her hind feet and spray urine at you with incredible accuracy. She is looking for the right person that will appreciate her for the special Lady she is. |
|
| Trillizo is
missing a front leg. But you would not know it by the way he
acts; jumping from shelf to shelf and running in a wheel. He
is health and young. We are guessing under 2 years old |
|
Rebel,
Newman, and Newman Jr. are a trio of mature gray
males ages about 11-14 years old. |

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. |
