Dusty Paws

Dusty Paws, chinchilla breeder in Portland, OR, serves the Pacific Northwest near Seattle with a focus on gentle, healthy companions. Sheri Chandra brings more than a decade of experience and maintains careful health screening in partnership with local veterinarians to ensure bright eyes and smooth coats.

Every chinchilla is raised in spacious, multi-level cages stocked with chew toys, hiding spots and supervised play sessions for early social skills and stress-free handling. Diet follows veterinarian-recommended pelleted feeds, occasional Timothy hay treats and fresh water offered daily, supporting digestive health and energetic activity. Visitors are welcomed by Sheri’s approachable style and transparent updates, often commenting on the calm demeanor and smooth coats achieved through consistent care and patience.

Whether first-time companions or experienced enthusiasts, families find guidance on habitat setup, health maintenance and ongoing support long after adoption. Each breeding pair is selected for temperament and coat density to maintain well-balanced, affectionate animals with plush fur.
