How to Adopt a Neopet

Neopets is a website that allows users to create and play with online pets such as dogs or cats and dragons or other mythical creatures. The website offers a selection of more than 30 different animals to create, however it's also possible to "adopt" a Neopet from their Neopian Pound. The Neopian Pound features pets who have been created and abandoned by their owners and sometimes has rare Neopets available.

  Select "Pet Central" and "Neopian Pound" from the top menu bar. When the page loads an image featuring three doors labeled Adopt, Transfer and Abandon will appear. Click "Adopt".
- 3
  Make your Neopet selection. Users can view up to three pets at a time on one page and select "View more Neopets" in the right hand corner to see more. Keep in mind that adopting a Neopet isn't free; users must pay in Neopoints, the game's form of money, for their pets. The price of the Neopet depends on four factors including: attack, defense, movement and overall level of the pet. Those with higher rankings cost more NP (Neopoints). When you've read through each animal's statistics and know which pet you want and can afford, click on the image and "Adopt" in the lower right corner.
