I was contacted by a woman a few days ago about some chins she needed to rehome right away. Apparently she was watching them for someone and they never came back for them (if I am translating her french written email to me correctly).
I recommended a rescue, but now she does not want to bother and is going to euthanize them!
Please is there someone in Canada who is willing to take them so two healthy chins do not get killed???
Below is our email correspondence, in another email she did not want me to think she was a bad person because she was thinking of killing them. Now I fear the rescue I suggested won't help her.
Read from the bottom up (for those of you who read french her first email to me)
Contact them!! You don't want me to think you are a bad person, which I didn't, but if you don't even take two minutes to contact them and you kill those healthy chinchillas, what does that say about you? Will you really sleep at night knowing what you did?
You are over a five hour drive one way for me. What did you really expect me to do? I have been asked to take 34 chinchillas just since January 1st from people local to me. I have a large rescue, but can only do so much and have so much room, plus I have a chin that needed emergency surgery last week and another that has severe teeth issues that needed vet care.
I don't turn people down because I want to. When I can't take a chin I try to refer someone who is closer to them. That is the best I can do right now, but the real responsibility lies with you as a decent human being. You never should have agreed to watch them if you felt the responsibility was too much. Now you need to do the right thing and contact this rescue.

Thank's for the info, but am tired of asking for help, and everybody telling me no. Plus the Rescue is in Ontario, i Know that there going to say no like everybody else. Sad to say, but am going to put them to sleep.

Hi Anabela,
I don't speak or read French, but from what I could translate on the internet your email says you were watching chinchillas for someone and they never came to get them. I don't even know where you are located.
My rescue is full right now, but if you let me know where you are located I maybe be able to suggest someone who can help you.
Take Care,
Andrea

Bonjour,
J'ai deux chinchilla qu'ont m'avais demander de gardez temporairement, la personne n'est jamais venue les chercher. Sa fais 2 mois que je cherche partout pour les placer. Tous le monde me dit non. Je viens de découvrir votre refuge. Je vous demande de l'aide, deux femelles chinchilla de 1 ans à placer. Sinon c'est plate, mais je sais plus quoi faire de plus. Mon dernier choix c'est de les faire euthanasier. Je trouve sa dommage car elle sont super gentille, non pas peur des chats, aime avoir de l'attention et courir.
Merci de votre attention
