Standard grey male chinchilla -- "Shadow"
Unknown age (adult)
**Shadow originally came to us as part of a pair. Unfortunately, he started beating up his buddy, so the pair had to be separated. He is being rehomed as a single chin as a result.**
--very curious boy -- open the cage door and he's right there, checking out what you're doing
--cautious around hands though, and will move back if you reach for him
--if you reach real slow, you can reach and pet him
--prefers being scooped up with two hands
--doesn't love being handled, but will settle down after being in your arms for a little bit (just a bit nervous)
--likes to tuck his head into the crook of your arm while you're holding him
--sweet boy
--might enjoy playtime or a wheel
Farmhand thoughts -- "not a big fan of hands, but also settles pretty well once out and comfortable. Super friendly!"
Adoption fee -- $75 cash or zelle / $83 card or other electronic payment

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.
