Unfortunately, sometimes people discover that they cannot handle taking care of more than one pet. This is why so many abandoned Neopets can be found at the Neopets Adoption Center. For those with large hearts, they are given the option of adopting the abandoned neopets to feed and care for them as their own.
If you chose to adopt a pet, remember that the pet name cannot be changed. This may be an issue to some people, as note that some owners like to give neopets very random and not very nice names. However, as William Shakespeare once wrote in his much-acclaimed play Romeo and Juliet, ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,’ it is not the name that matters but the heart behind the neopet.
Adopting neopets will also incur a small charge, which is the cover cost for taking care of the neopet when it was in the pound. The stronger and more powerful the neopet is, the higher the cost will be to adopt it. However the charges are relatively small so this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
If you do decide to adopt a neopet, visit the adoption center in Pet Central and inform reception of your intentions. You will then be shown random neopets from which you can choose one.
