Want a Discount? Volunteer!!
Volunteer 2 hours = 10% discount on a chinchilla
Volunteer 4 hours = 25% discount on a chinchilla
Maximum discount of $50
Please note, volunteer hours for discounts on chinchillas must be pre-arranged and pre-approved. Please be aware that not all days and times are available for volunteer time. Volunteer time must be done before adoption of the chinchilla (within 14 days of adoption) in order to qualify for the discount.
Volunteer activities may include things like cleaning cages, sanding toy parts / wood items, washing pet items, feeding / watering animals, carrying 25-50 pound items around, medicating animals, and more. Volunteers must be able to ascend and descend a flight of steps, potentially multiple times within their volunteer time. Volunteers must be open to whatever needs to be done. If you have physical limitations that may prohibit certain activities, please let us know ahead of time so we can determine if volunteer work is right for you.
This volunteering discount cannot be combined with any other discounts or sales.
Please contact if interested.
Unsure If a Chinchilla Is the Pet For You? Try It Out For A Week!
If you do not decide to adopt the chinchilla, your deposit is returned / refunded, when our chinchilla / cage / supplies are returned. There is NO actual fee to do this, just the deposit to ensure that we either get our stuff back, or are compensated for it. If you do decide to adopt, the deposit can be applied to the chinchilla adoption fee and anything else you may want to purchase. If your deposit is a larger amount than what you end up purchasing, we will refund you the difference. If you would like to participate in this program, please let us know.
