My story

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

Mort and Melman are a bonded pair of male chinchillas, about 5 years old.  They are considered special needs because Mort has a permanent head tilt. It doesn't require meds as it is likely from a past ear infection, but it might make it difficult for him to groom himself because he gets matted fur.  The vet recommends a combination of frequent dust baths and occasional brushing/plucking of the mats to ensure they don't get out of hand.  
  Melman has some skin issues that need treatment before adoption, they should be ready to go home mid-may.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Go meet their pets

We are currently open by appointment only to see all the pets, but we frequently appear at farmer's markets and other local events with adoptable animals.

More about this shelter

We are a specialty rescue for small exotic pets, such as reptiles and small mammals. We were formed by two women who met working at a nature center. In their interactions with the public they noticed a need in the area for a rescue that specialized in exotic pets, as well as a value in public education. Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary was formed with the mission to reduce mistreatment and abandonment of animals through rescue and rehoming, as well as educational outreach.
