welcome

Hi, I'm Cinnamon. (Please call me that, 'kay? ^^) You've just stumbled on my rules for adopting my fosters. (Stumbled? Is that all? Don't you want to adopt these babies?) Yes, they're all up for adoption. Be sure to read all of the rules before applying.

Note: Threatening or offering bribes will not help you get anywhere. These pets are NOT for sale or trade; I do not sell or trade pets. The only fee you will come across during this process is one charged by the Pound. Also, remember that just because you apply does not mean you'll be picked.

the rules

1. Read this entire page before doing anything. Honestly, it isn't that long. ^__^

2. Fill out the questionnaire.

3. All of the pets up for adoption have names and genders; use them correctly. (If you'd like to change the gender of your pet, let me know in the application. I can provide gender changes for all pets on _cinnamon_105 and _applegirl_.)

4. Please use proper spelling and grammar. Smilies are fine in moderation.

7. Send applications to _applegirl with the words "Application: [Petname]" as the title of the neomail.

the application

Fill out the following questionnaire and send it to _applegirl with the title "Application: [Petname]".

1. List all your Neopets accounts
2. What account do you want to adopt [Pet] on?
3. In 3 sentinces or less, what are your plans for [Pet]?
4. In 3 sentinces or less, describe [Pet]'s personality to me.

Please answer the following statement yes or no.

5. I accept that I may not be chosen to adopt [pet].
6. I care about [pet] and I'm sincere in this application; I don't plan to trade or refoster [pet].
7. I will contact Cinnamon if I no longer want to keep [pet].

8. Do you have any supplimentary information? If so, provide links here.

tips for success

When considering an applicant, the number one thing I consider is how well his or her current pets are cared for. I always look over your account. Specifically, I look over your pets. I look for happy pets with personalities, petlookups, petpages and/or petpets. I look for pets with stories or art. I look for pets that have good stats, high intelligent, and/or are customized.

Why? Because adoption applications often contain many empty promises. Show me by example: you can promise to customize, draw, and train the pet you're applying for, but if none of your current pets have customization, art or reasonable stats, why would I believe you?

Question 8 on the questionnaire is where you can provide extra material. This optional material could be a petpage application, a link to a story or piece of art, or a petpage/petlookup that you've made for the pet. Or, something else! Any extras can be included here. Of course, this is optional.

Whether this is the first time you're applying for a pet or the tenth time, I highly suggest you take a look at a guide to making applications, such as:
perle_de_crystaux's Guide to Neomail Applications
Tashalyn's How to Apply for a Pet
AmiyasPrincess' So You Wanna Apply For a Pet
Also, I suggest going over to The Neopian Orphanage and getting your request evaluated at billopan.com/adopt/evaluators.php

the pledge

Below is The Neopian Orphanage's Pledge of Good Ownership. You don't need to include this in your application, but hopefully you'll agree with it. :3 I know I do!

If I am chosen, I, (your name) , pledge to be the best owner I can be for my new Neopet, (pet's name) . I understand all the sadness that he/she has already been through, and so I will provide everything he/she needs to be happy. I promise to be a friend to my new Neopet and never ever ever put him/her through the pain of neglect or abandonment again.

the end

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'm happy to answer them. ^__^

Before sending in your application, read over this whole page again. Then send it in to _applegirl. Wait at least a week before neomailing again to ask if you're accepted.
