Rick & Morty are a couple of young chin dudes--only a little over a year old as of October 2023--who are active, playful, and very inquisitive.  Obviously they are handsome little guys, but they are sweet too, especially once they know and trust you. 

Rick & Morty were surrendered to Lunas House due to the severe allergies of a family member.  Even with weekly allergy injections, one of their previous people had difficulty breathing in with them in the home. This type of severe allergy is uncommon, but it does happen—though their previous caregivers tried everything they could to keep them, it was not to be. 

We would like for Rick & Morty to go to a home with previous chinchilla experience, as they are accustomed to the good life and are a bit shy when first meeting new folks. 

Like most prey animals, chinchillas are very active and, while they may tolerate being handled when necessary for short periods of time, they do not care to be picked up, carried, or held for extended amounts of time.  If you are looking for an active, delightful small animal with a longer life span (12-15 years average in captivity, up to 20 years) to enjoy and with whom to interact on his/her terms, a chinchilla may be a great choice for you!

If you would be interested in adopting a chinchilla from Lunas House, please take a moment to fill out an online adoption application at the link below:

Once we have received and approved your completed application, we can schedule a time for you to visit our facility to meet with chins available for adoption.  You will be coming to our Animal Care and Education Center, located at 2801 Pulaski Highway in Edgewood, MD.

Our adoption fee for a pair of chinchillas is $125.  This is a donation meant to help us cover part of the cost of caring for the animals you are adopting while they are with us, including veterinary exam, neuter surgeries, food, bedding, etc.
