Additional adoption info

It does not matter to us whether you are looking to adopt now, later or just want to learn about Chinchillas. Starting is as simple as setting an appointment at our Sunnyvale, CA (SFBay Area) location where you will learn how wonderful chins are with a simple Chin 101 introduction while interacting/playing with the chins. Hopefully, if you are ready, you will find a chin with a personality that matches you and creates a bond that will last a long time. You can even take the chin home that day.
