Our mission is to provide a safe haven for unwanted, neglected, or medically fragile chinchillas. Our goal is to rehabilitate and socialize in preparation for adoption. We gladly open our doors to those interested in learning more about these unique pets. We are available for temporary foster care, education, supplies, and networking with other local rescue organizations.

We are a family run, chinchilla specific, small animal rescue in the Greater Richmond area of Virginia. People have come from as far north as Pennsylvania, and as far south as North Carolina to adopt, surrender, or donate to our organization.
Additional adoption info
We have a simple adoption contract that includes specifications for the animals well being including a prohibition against breeding our adopted chinchillas.
All come with a generous supply of food, dust, etc. If needed, cages are available for a fee.
