SURRENDER
Finding Your Chin a New HomeSorry you have to surrender your chin(s). We would be happy to find the chin(s) a new home. We are a “no-kill” chinchilla rescue located in Sunnyvale, CA (SFBay Area) and you would just have to bring the chin(s) to us and fill out a Surrender Form providing us some information about the chin(s) which legally transfers the chin(s) into our care. At this time, we are unable to transports chins. You might be able to find a local animal shelter or rescue (please check our list of rescues under FAQ) but, a lot of people make the drive and bring them to us if possible.
NOTE: Unfortunately, due to rising Vet bills, we are now implementing a $20 per Chin Surrender fee due at appointment.
We take all surrendered chins to our vet to get a health check. After which, the chin(s) will have its picture placed on our webpage, Adopt-a-Pet and other pet websites so, folks can see how wonderful he/she is and contact us for possible adoption. While under our care the chin will have a nice large multi-level cage with food, water, wheel, treats, medical care, weekly cage cleaning and plenty of attention.
We never euthanize a chin unless it is for the chin’s medical quality-of-life reasons.
We never split bonded pairs/groups unless the chins decide it themselves (they fight) as there are many people that love to adopt bonded pairs/groups.
If one wishes to donate any unused supplies (food, dust, hay, bedding) those would be welcomed as well. Unfortunately, we only accept Midwest Critter Nation or Midwest Ferret Nation cages.
To book an appointment, simply select the “Surrender” block and click “Book” to schedule an appointment for any available time. SquareUp will send you a confirmation email and/or text msg.
NOTE: We may cancel your appointment and contact you if there happens to be no cage availability for surrenders.
