Here are just a few of the chinchillas up for adoption. Please note that all are in the GTA area. I have been getting a lot of adoption requests and surrender requests out of province and it’s been many years since I had fosters in other provinces.
If you want to share some chinny love here is how you can help.

Today is Giving Tuesday. I haven’t been posting a lot as I am overwhelmed with chins. Surrender requests come in daily and I have no space for more chins. Hopefully after a few adoptions coming up I can take a deep breath and get back on track! (This is literally word for word from last year! And unfortunately- nothing has changed!)

In 2012 TAS contacted me about a chinchilla with an eye issue. He came to me and over the next few months myself and Southdown Animal Clinic worked at clearing up his eye ulcer. I was so attached but adopted him out when he was good to go. Years later I found Wilbur for sale on Kijiji and after emailing the owners to remind them of their contract with my rescue, a team of volunteers got him back to me. He lived out the last 6 years with me and died peacefully yesterday at the age of 19. I will miss that little guy.

Edit: Transport secure! Thanks everyone!

Transport help! I have 2 chins that need to get from Hammond (near Ottawa) to Mississauga. If anyone is available let me know.

CCR

The Canadian Chinchilla Rescue was started by me, Tanya as a chinchilla owner. There was a need for chinchilla rescue and I thought it would be easy to help find chins a new home. With grand plans of having a foster base across Canada I created Canadian Chinchilla Rescue. I did have fosters in 3 provinces (Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec) before the work involved soon made me realize one person can’t pull off a national rescue and work a fill time job. I scaled back and have mostly stuck with GTA fosters. CCR is a small rescue and have only limited space for chinchillas. All chinchillas are taken in with the goal of finding them a forever home and to leave the rescue.
