My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Black pearl female chinchilla & standard grey female chinchilla -- Mama (BP) & Dusty (standard)
Born 2/2019 (Mama) -- 5 years old
Born 2/2020 (Dusty) -- 4 years old

**Mama and Dusty came to us after their owner purchased a pet store chinchilla that was *surprise* pregnant, and had two cute little babies! Mama is the mom, Dusty is her daughter, and they are now a happy pair of furballs!**

Both very sweet
Mama is a bit more easy to pick up and melts in your arms
Dusty can be a bit more skittish at times
Both do well with being handled and petted
Both will move around a little when being handled
Both very curious and will come right to the front of the cage
Dusty loves her hammock!

Adoption Fee -- $350 CASH / $385 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process requires all of our potential homes to read our care packet and fill out an adoption form. The care packet talks about the care and needs of the specific animal the home is looking to adopt. The adoption form asks questions about the type of home the animal will be going into, what type of cage will be used, what type of food the animal will be fed, and so on - questions to verify that the pet will be cared for well in its new home. There is no application fee with our rescue, the only fees are the adoption fees for the pets.

Go meet their pets

Visiting our adoptable animals requires an appointment. To make an appointment with us, give us a call 219-789-0026. The rescue is run out of our house, so we are not always home for someone to view the animals. We are home most afternoons/evenings, and people are welcome to come visit then (after having called and set up an appointment).

More about this rescue

I am Ashley Gajda and I am the "owner" (if it could even be called that) of the rescue. I opened this rescue because I hated to see small pets without homes, and wanted to help. We opened the rescue in 2003 with very few cages, but have since expanded and now take in a variety of small animals and have plenty of spare cages. It is just me running the rescue, so I'm always looking for volunteers to help with whatever needs it at the time.
