Papasan & Hops's Info...

Species: Chinchilla Color: Silver Or Gray Age: Adult
Sex: Male Hair: Short
Papasan & Hops's Story...
Papasan was surrendered when his former owners discovered they were expecting a baby at the same time the new daddy has to be deployed for a year. The situation is much too overwhelming for the new mama to handle on her own. Papasan was surrendered with 4 other chinchillas, all housed separately. He has been through at least three homes and was originally used for breeding, so we were skeptical about his ability to live peacefully with another male.

Recently, we tried introducing Papasan to Hops, a young, single male who was desperate for a friend. The two get along very well! Hops is the dominant one, but is not aggressive. Papasan is a patient, gentle cagemate. Perfect for toning down Hop's young virility.

Adoption fee: $100 for the pair.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Papasan & Hops, a Virginia Beach Chinchilla was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chinchilla for sale in Virginia Beach, or seeking a Chinchilla from a breeder in Virginia Beach.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Virginia Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Virginia Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chinchilla breeders who help with Chinchilla rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Virginia Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.
