Go to an animal shelter and find a kind person, let her know if she can't keep up with Chinny, she might get sick and the best thing to do is give her up.

I really don't like the decision though. Maybe she can have a garage sale and sell things she doesn't use anymore and be able to keep her.

To the person above: Chinchillas are not dogs.
