I don't want my Neopet, how can I get rid of it?

If you have a pet that you no longer want to look after, you can disown it. Your Neopet will be kept in the Neopian Pound until some kind soul comes and adopts them. Make sure you are 100% certain you do not want your Neopet as other people will be able to adopt it as soon as you abandon it. Bear in mind that any items or petpets that are equiped to your Neopet will go with it unless you remove them before disowning.

How do you get your Neopets adopted?
If you wish to abandon one of your faithful Neopets, for whatever reason, just go to the Neopian Pound. Here Dr_Death will take care of your Neopet until it finds a good home. If you abandon your Neopet you could always try posting its name on the message boards or creating a notice board to try to get kind hearted people to adopt it.

Can I start an Adoption Agency?
Yes you are quite welcome to take Neopets out of the pound, nurse them to health and them return them to the pound. This will increase that Neopets chance of finding a good home. You can even advertise that pet's name in your guild or on the message boards. However, you CANNOT charge people to adopt a pet you have nursed, nor can you ensure a particular Neopet will go to a certain person. As soon as a Neopet is placed in the pound it is available for ANYBODY to adopt.

If I want a new pet, do I need to create a new one?
No, you can always go to the pound and adopt one of the many pets that are looking for kind owners.
