Every once in a while, a person may decide they either want to transfer a pet. Either to give to a friend or to send to an extra account, the risks of actually losing your neopet is very high. For instance, once I tried to transfer a Tonu to my spare account. I had a friend already lined up to click accept. There was a one second delay in the abandoning in the pound and the final pickup, however in that second, someone else had jumped in and taken it. I of course neomailed that person and asked if I cold get my pet back but the person ignored me. If you do plan to risk losing your pet, hopefully this article will help minimize the risk. Remember however that Neopets cannot help you out if you do in the event, lose your pet.
Firstly, the best method is to have another friend logged into the account you want your pet to be accepted. Have your friend enter the pound, and type in your pet’s name in the search box ready to pick up. Make sure that your friend has at least a cable internet connection. Next, you log into the pound also in your account, and as you release your pet into the pound, tell the other friend immediately to click enter, and pick up the pet. The best way to do this is with an online chat client such as ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, MSN etc.
