My story

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

Standard grey female chinchilla w/ partial back leg -- "Peg Leg Polly"
--furchewer--
Unknown age (adult)
​​​​​​​​​​​
**this is chinchilla #5 that came in from the hoarding case -- unfortunately we have no idea how old she is, though she is awesome and has now cleared her pregnancy watch and is ready to find a home of her own!**

**she came to us with a (then-healing) hind-leg injury, which now looks like a pirate's peg-leg...Polly gets around just fine with this leg, in fact, she's awfully fast on her little peg leg**
​​
--pretty easy to scoop up into your arms 
--has opinions and will let you know what they are 
--does great with being handled and petted
--pretty calm and chill while being handled 
--faster than you might expect if you set her down and she wants to go explore 
--sweet girl
--sometimes likes to check things out a bit while being handled, though not overly active 
--very sweet girl!

Adoption fee -- ​​$75 CASH OR ZELLE / $83 CARD OR OTHER 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.
