NWI Chinchillas

"I adopted a medium ebony male chinchilla and right off the bat you can tell all of NWI's chins are not only well cared for and loved... but also handled wonderfully.  Even though there is never enough time in the day to achieve all the tasks that need to be done- somehow Ashley manages to do it all.  I couldn't be happier with my adoption and I applaud all the hard work that NWI is doing for the greater good.  If everyone donated even the slightest it would help more than you can realize.  Please support and continue to donate to NWI everyone! Thanks again Ashley!"

--NWI is hands down an INCREDIBLE rescue

"Ashley knows so much about chinchillas and has been there for me every step of the way.  She has given me advice about chinchillas that she didn't even personally sell to me (i got them from petsmart but didn't know about NWI at the time).  Ashley has helped me through some tough journeys when I adopted a girl who started spraying & now she helps me with my male who is a biter.

I recommend everyone to NWI Chinchillas as I know Ashley has the best interest in the chinchilla but the caregiver as well."

"I adopted my two girls (Lilo and Nani) about a month ago and couldn't be happier with my experience.  Ashley helpfully answered all my questions and provided her expert knowledge and passion for the animals in her care.  I also ordered a house, a couple shelves, and some dust from her and she had my order together almost instantly.  When I went to her house to pick up the girls, I was very impressed with her layout.  Even though she was over capacity at the time, the cages were clean, the room organized, and the chins themselves looked comfortable and happy.  I would happily recommend her and would go there again myself (although it'll be 10-15 years or so down the line :)  )."

I have been searching a long time for a good wooden house for my two chinchillas.  Most commercial products are held together with metal tacks that could injure a chinchilla or glue which could poison a chinchilla.  Ashley built them a special house which is bigger, sturdier, and healthier than anything I could have found anywhere else.  I am very grateful and I will be a repeat customer when my chinchildren someday finish destroying this one - although that will take years thanks to Ashley's craftsmanship!"

"I ordered a ryerson water bottle & have been nothing but satisfied!  Shipping was incredibly fast & the product was greatly priced.  The package came entirely sealed and the water bottle was nicely protected in lots of bubble wrap.  I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase & will definitely purchase again. :) "

"I am doing research about getting a chinchilla sometime in the next year. When I found your website, I decided: This is where I want to get my very first chinchilla from! I can tell that you really care about your chinchillas and I am quite confident I would be in very good hands with you and your business. I've looked at a lot of breeders and you are the best-looking one. I cannot wait to do business with you sometime in the future!"

--Lesley

"My family and I have gotten a total of four chinchillas and two Prairie dogs from Ashley.  They are all healthy and full of life.  Ashley was very helpful with the process of introducing our chinchillas and Prairie dogs.  She is also open to answering any questions you may have via text, phone call, or in person.  Ashley is very passionate about what she does and takes very good care of the chinchillas in her rescue.  If you want a chin or small animal, this would be the place I recommend!"

"My daughter had asked for either a snake or a chinchilla. We've already had snakes so we decided to go with a chinchilla. I did quite abit of research and when I came across this site my decision was a most definite one. We decided on Amber and will be picking her up in a couple of weeks. A big thank you to Ashley for all of her help and for answering all of our questions. I think your site is very informational and I can't wait to meet you and pick up our new addition to the "Family!""

"I adopted my first chinchilla from Ashley in June of 2014.  The NWI Rescue is about a 3 hours round trip from where I live, but I liked Ashley and her rescue so much that a little over a year later, I went back and adopted another chinchilla.  If anyone I know is researching on where to adopt a chinchilla, I always recommend Ashley.  It is very clear she does what she does out of genuine love for the animals, and not for the money."

--Jessica

"I LOVE MY CHINCHILLA (CHILLY) He's an amazing addition to our family. Thank you so much for everything!"

--Jeff B.

"My daughter and I were looking for a chinchilla to adopt when we came across NWI Chinchilla's website.  After a few emails back and forth to Ashley we decided to adopt Dr Pepper and Mr. Pibb.... They are wonderful!  It was a 2 1/2 hour drive, but well worth it!  Ashley was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had.  She got back to us in a timely manner with answers to our questions.  Her animals are well taken care of and I would definitely adopt from her again."

"Emailed Ashley in December 2013 about getting one of her chins for my 15 yr old son for Christmas. She got back to me right away, answered all my questions, the website is very informative and she had almost all the things you need which we got when we picked up our chin. There was also a good selection to choose from. Ashley is also very good at what she does and very knowledgeable about these animals which is what you need if you don't know anything. After getting our chin she is always available for other questions you may have and which we did. She also is good at follow up. She emailed me and wanted to know how our chin was doing. Fabulous and easy to talk to!"

"Frito (Cisco) is doing fine.  He's inquisitive, energetic, engaging and just a joy to spend time with.  He is still on a treat / snack prohibition (he's not 6 mos. yet).  So other than 4 plain Cheerios, 1 raisin, 2 rose hips, and about half a dozen whole jasmine flowers he is treat / snack free.  Cisco is the most aggressive dust bather I've ever seen.  I'm used to seeing 3 to 5 rollover - baths every three to four days, but this guy won't get out of the bath until he is good and ready.  So after a couple of minutes or so of continuous rollovers I coax him out.  He can get in quite a few rollovers in a couple minutes, and I don't want his skin to get too dry to where he's uncomfortable.  He tolerates being held for up to 5 minutes without struggling to free himself; but he prefers his out time (run around outside of cage time) so I make sure that he spends a good amount of time outside of his cage and I use the bath to retrieve him as it's irresistible to him."

--Len Maydwell

"I bought my chinchilla named Gigi from Ashley.  I could tell that she was well taken care of thanks to Ashley.  I am so glad that I bought Gigi from her because she actually knew what she was talking about and was so knowledgeable not only about chinchillas but a lot of other animals as well.  I was looking at pet stores to buy a chinchilla and I was asking them questions about them and they had to go look up all the answers to my questions...but Ashley knew all of them without looking any of it up.  I could tell that she cared about all of her animals, its not just a "job" for her.  It is a hobby.  Ashley is very nice and I would buy an animal from her rather than anywhere else.  And the best part is, she sells everything that you need right from her home.  Everything she sells is reasonably priced, and you can even buy used items if your not able to afford it.  Thanks Ashley!!"

"Just brought my first chin home today (Piggy). He's, as described, a great chin all around!
Huge thanks to Ashley for providing all the answers for the questions I had and filling in the information that I needed to know, and for putting such effort in keeping the chins in a very good environment. They're very lucky that they have NWI to stay in.
Thanks again,
Jeff"

"I recently adopted "Dreamz" a female chinchilla for my 11 year old daughter.  NWI Chinchillas, Ashley, is very caring, friendly, knowledgeable.  Ashley takes her time to follow up on the animals she adopts out.  I will definitely call Ashley if I ever choose to adopt another animal.  I recommend Ashley and NWI Chinchillas to everyone.  Sincerely, Tom, Layla, and Dreamz (the chinchilla)"

"I recently adopted two male rats from Ashley and let me just say, I had an absolutely smooth adoption.  Ashley had been there since day one to promptly answer any and all emails and questions I had.  Her pet adoption facilities were impeccably clean, she was completely professional and knowledgeable, and the rats I adopted from her are absolute angels.  If you are thinking about adopting a pet, I would wholeheartedly recommend taking your business there!  I have a big business pet store five minutes away from my house but traveling a ways to adopt from Ashley is something that I absolutely do not regret.  Ashley is the best, the pets are greatly taken care of, and now I am the owner of two loveable rat boys.  I couldn't ask for more!"

"When our little Captain Jack passed away, I knew the best way to honor his memory was to give a home to another little rat.  I found Buddy on Petfinder.com, contacted Ashley immediately, and I met Buddy that weekend.  It is obvious that Ashley takes great care of all her animals and cares a lot about them, from the rats to the guineas to the chins.  She gave me a lot of information about rats and she respected my prior knowledgeable about rat care.  I'd definitely recommend NWI Chinchillas to anyone!"

--Cheryl

"We were interested in chinchillas and definitely wanted to 'adopt.'  We came to the right place!  Ashley was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with us as my daughters and I asked our many questions.  Ashley obviously has a big heart and a kind soul for doing all she does.  An added convenience is that we were able to get everything we needed for our chinchillas from NWI Chinchilla Rescue.  We are completely happy with Tabbouleh and Moon and never tire of their antics.  They quickly became part of our family.  We highly recommend NWI Chinchilla Rescue.  Thank you, Ashley, for all your hard work."

"My 11 year old son had been wanting a pet so I steered him towards a guinea pig since they are such nice little animals.  I found Ashley and photos of guinea pigs up for adoption on petfinder.com.  All worked out well and we now have two possible sibling guinea pigs.  Both are calm and friendly and like to be held.  I highly recommend working with Ashley.  She is very knowledgeable, caring, and you can feel confident about the pets you adopt!"

--Cathy Cameron

"We adopted a sweet Peruvian guinea pig last week, and the whole family is in love with her.  I'm so grateful for Ashley's dedication to rescuing and caring for guinea pigs and chinchillas so people have an alternative to buying from a pet store.  Ashley spent a lot of time with us answering our questions, and she certainly knows all about the creatures she cares for and loves them very much.  I will definitely recommend NWI Chinchillas to anyone looking for a small and furry pet."

"I found NWI Chinchilla Rescue while looking for a new member to enhance the life of my niece Selene.  I was hoping to find a cuddly, calm, loveable family member for her to love and find she needed and that needed her too.  Ashley's description of Scooby was exactly that and when I met him, he was all that she had stated.  Ashley's knowledge and expertise of her rescue's and their needs and her ability to help her clients is amazing and can help put any questions at rest.  I am so happy to have found NWI and feel extremely lucky to know that it is just a phone call or email away.  Thank You Ashley for all you do!  Audrey Mr. Softee's new Mommy and Believer that EVERYONE should RESCUE!"

As a first time owner I was a little worried I do something wrong so I was texting Ashley almost weekly at all hours of the day but no matter what she always helped me. I definitely purchase another chinnie from her"

--Stacy

"We were looking to expand our family of rats and we found two beautify baby boy rats through NWI Chinchillas.  They are taking to their big brothers like a fish to water and their brothers love them just as much.  If we ever think of getting more rats, or any critter for that matter, we will definitely call Ashley first."

--Helen and Aaron Kelly

--Couldn't be happier

"I am at heart a dog lover, but where I live dogs are not even allowed on the premises, so getting a chinchilla was not my first choice.  That being said I could not be happier with my decision.  I must of read over a hundred sites trying to decide if a chinchilla was the right pet for me, but I decided to take the chance.  I found Ashley's site to be very informative and she was very flexible with when I could meet Lily.  Lily has been great.  She had a little trouble adjusting at first but she is right at home now.  I am actually considering getting a second chin :) "

"My daughter and I recently adopted a Guinea Pig from Ashley.  My daughter had been begging me to let her get one and after seeing Pumpkin's picture on the website she knew this was the one for her!  Pumpkin was a great Christmas gift for her.  Ashley returned my phone calls very quickly and within a couple of days we were able to adopt the guinea pig.  Pumpkin looks like she was being taken care of very well.  We haven't had any problems with it and would gladly go back to Ashley if we decide to get another one in the future."

"New to owning chinchillas...I was filled with many questions and Ashley was always helpful in answering not only my questions but also my concerns. I purchased three beautiful healthy chinchillas from Ashley and couldn't be happier. Thank you for Pinky Rose (white chinchilla), Jolee Maren (ebony with TOV chinchilla) and Barbi Lin (mosaic chinchilla), Ashley! They all arrived safely and I am extremely happy with my new fur babies! For beautiful and healthy chins...I recommend Ashley! Thanks once again!"

"Ashley is the greatest!  I have never met Ashley in person, and have only had on line communication with her.  I have ordered lots of wood shelves from her.  I found her when we were looking for a chinchilla to buy, and at that time she didn't have any available.  We bought one from a breeder, and when we had questions about different things Ashley was the one we turned to for help.  She was so helpful even thought we didn't get our chin from her.  She is so knowledgeable, and helpful.  I would highly recommend NWI Chinchillas!!"

"I found NWI Chinchillas on PetFinder.  Ashley was great to work with.  She was able to be flexible for me since I had a 2-hour one-way drive.  I found her establishment to be organized and clean.  The animals in her care seemed very happy and well-cared for.  She likes to keep in contact with her rescues' families and receive updates.  This was my first adoption but will not be my last.  The two rats we just adopted are happy and affectionate.  I'll be referring many friends / family members to NWI Chinchillas."

"Deciding to adopt a chin was difficult - I had to do a fair amount of research to see if a chin was truly the pet for me.  However, after making the decision of adopting a chin, finding the right place was another headache.  Luckily, I found NWI.  The moment I met Ashley I knew that she wanted her chins to have a great environment to live in, and most of all, a good future home.  She was glad to answer the huge amount of questions I had for her, and informed me about the needs of the specific chin that I am adopting.  She definitely knows what she's talking about and puts great care in the chinchillas she is taking care of.  I would definitely recommend NWI for those who are looking to adopt a chinchilla."

--Jeffrey

--Happy Adopter 

"Wow!  I learned a lot from Ashley!  We were doing a few things wrong because the pet store said, "ok", you really need to talk to Ashley to make sure your doing things correctly to raise a happy Chin!  We adopted a 2nd Chin and are very happy.  Wish I had room for one more as another stole my heart!"

--Satisfied chinchilla mommy

"It takes a wonderful person to open their home to these wonderful little creatures.  From the moment I spoke with Ashley, I could tell that not only she was knowledgeable about chinchillas, but that sh truly cared for them and put their best interest first.  We wanted to adopt a chin as a cage mate for our young chin and had expressed nervousness about them getting along.  Ashley inquired about our chin's personality and found a great match for her.  The chin we adopted was considered "slightly special needs" as she has cataracts that could worsen over time, but is perfectly fine at the moment.  Ashley walked us through introducing a new chin to another chin's home and provided us with much guidance and support and now the two are glued together at the hip!  If you're thinking that caring for a "special needs" chin is any different than any other chin, you may find that you'd be pleasantly surprised.  Open your heart and your home to a homeless chin!"

--Lea Fisher

"We love Ashley!  We had such a great experience meeting her and the chins.  She is always happy to help with everything & anything regarding the chins.  She is a true animal lover.  Our chin Dusty is so sweet and personable, and it is because of how nice Ashley treats her chins.  She is the one to go to if you have a chin you need to give up, or if you want to bring a chin home."

"Ashley was absolutely amazing to work with.  Never having owned a chin before, I appreciate her willingness to work with a novice and her ability to answer some really silly questions on my part.  You can definitely see and feel the love she has for these sweet creatures.  Whiskey is settling in well to her new home.  She still makes those silly noises, but I love that about her (like she is talking to me).  She loves her dust baths and cheerios.  I would definitely suggest that if you want a chin, consider getting one from Ashley.  You won't regret it and neither will the chin..."
