Standard grey male chinchilla -- "Chico"
--furchewer--
Born 2013 or earlier -- 11+ years old
**Chico can go to his new home with his decked out Double Critter Nation Cage (pictured) for an additional fee. If interested in Chico+his-cage-bundle, we will also throw in some additional ledges & goodies. Inquire for more info.**
**Chico takes awhile to settle into his new home, and has absolutely no issues with being intimidating, barking, and occasionally lunging at anyone in his space. He has never bitten, but he can definitely be intimidating. This boy is not appropriate for a home with children any younger than brave teenagers (if not all adults). Chico would likely do best in an adult-only hold that doesn't stress him out too much (we wouldn't suggest pairing him). He's already a fur-chewer when being left alone to his own devices, so let's not add to his stress!**
**Chico enjoys the occasional goji berry, hawthorn berries, and rosehips (which can be given much more frequently) and will snatch them right out of your hand!**
Not too difficult to pick up, assuming you are smarter than a 1-pound-ball-of-fluff-that's-acting-initimdating
Actually pretty sweet when you're holding him (you just gotta ignore the "before" behavior)
Will chill with you for short periods of time
Does enjoy scratches behind the ears!
Adoption fee -- $100 CASH / $110 CARD OR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT (not including cage)

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.
