Rescues and Surrenders - 2024


*If the chinchilla was born here/came from me they are always welcome back at any time, no questions asked, no fee*


If they are not from me: I only have one hospital/quarantine room and can only take in one chinchilla or a group of chinchillas at a time.

This means that if I already have one in quarantine I can not take another, but I may be able to help you find them a new home. It can take 6-12+ months for an adult to find a new home, more if they have health issues so please be patient.

As of 2024 there is a $50 surrender fee per chinchilla *that is not from me* to help offset costs. I do ask that if you drop your chin off to please provide any important veterinary information, age, name, and write up a brief description of your little guy for a potential new home. I provide the new owners with your information and this helps make the transition easier.

If it is an emergency, especially if they need to see a vet, that is ok, I will work with you. Text me at (318) 405-1163 or email me at chinpoo@sunsetchinchillas.com



I am happy to assist with large seizures or evacuations within the state of Texas and have enough carriers for 140. However they can not stay here and would need to be housed in a staging environment provided by the governing county or city animal control.
