Dusty’s Exotic Chins

Dusty is very passionate and committed to the Chin Rescue! He is very flexible and can schedule an appt for you to visit the Chins he is fostering and are open for adoption. He also does trainings on anything from how to properly groom your chinchilla to how to clean the cages and set them up for your chins! Don’t hesitate to give him a call if you have any inquiries about adopting or if you’re simply curious to learn more about the Chinchilla Rescue. Just make sure u call him in the evenings.

I tried to call him so many times, but didn’t get a call back for a few days and only after calling a non-​profit chinchilla rescue he is affiliated with. Also, please note that the address on Unilocal is only to his mailbox, not to his actual foster home/​shop! So don’t go there and waste your time like I did. I do believe he cares for and does great work chinchillas, unfortunately getting a hold of him and his misinformation on Unilocal made it impossible.

Dusty is so sweet. I work for the SFUSD and inherited a pair of very old chinchillas.
One chin passed away, and wanting to find a partner or new home for the other, we researched caretakers of chinchillas, and Dusty was referred to us. He has many years of experience and has worked with the SPCA before as well. He has a big heart and a great community to support these efforts. Support Dusty!
While surrendering our Chinchilla, Dusty was waiting with a brand new clean cage and everything ready to go for us.

If you ever need to go on vacation, make sure your chinchillas are well taken care of. Chinchillas should not be left for more than a day unattended, so that’s where Dusty steps in. Chinchilla-​sitters are rare, but Dusty is a hidden gem
Dusty is a generous caretaker who will treat your chin like the prince/​princess he/​she is! Call him in advance to make sure that he has room at his «chin hotel» since he also fosters rescue chinchillas! Upon arrival, he will have you fill out an info sheet about your chinchilla’s age, color, etc and takes a photo of your little one for identification. He has many cages equipped with wheels and toys galore, so know that your little one is in safe hands and will enjoy his/​her own vacation. He takes them out for playtime too!
His rates are totally reasonable, which he will quote on the phone. Make sure to bring your ID because the building owners require all guests to check in at the front desk.
Dusty also makes chin toys like hideaway houses and kabobs. He even gave my chinchilla some when she was leaving and gave me some pointers for transporting her back home.
I have to say on behalf of my happy chinchilla that she would definitely come again :)
