Welcome!
Zapping Your Dream Pets (ZYDP for short) is a group of kind and friendly Neopians who are dedicated to helping others obtain their Dream Pets. ZYDP has been happily granting wishes since July 2008. ZYDP is not just part of a fad...we're here to stay! And we want to grant your Wish! :)What we do: ZYDP maintains this public wishlist. We use our lab rays to zap Neopets, and then we give the pet to whoever wished for a pet with that color/species combination.
Through the years ZYDP has expanded and currently we keep several active pages that help fellow Neopians obtain their dream pets: These are: Adoption Agency, Extra Paint Brush Clothing Page and Magma Custom Page.
ZYDP is also a friendly and active guild open for everyone to join.
To learn more about ZYDP pages, use the menu on the left.

ZYDP Wishlist
ZYDP's aim is to help other players achieve their dream pets. To reach that goal, a wishlist page was created. Everyone can list up to 3 dream pets on that page. However, only pets that can be obtained through labray can be listed (no draiks and krawks, sorry). We hope that through this wishlist we can find lovely permanent homes for the pets we zap. Most of the zapped pets are adopted from the pound and re-homed when they get zapped into a desired pet/color combo.

Everyone can:
List up to 3 dream pets.
Use the wishlist to rehome their pets. (if you do so, please neomail the person who is in charge of wishlist, so she can remove the wish).
Before you submit a wish PLEASE read all the rules written on /~ZYDP page.
Want to see how many dream pets we granted so far? We keep a record of gifted pets on Happy endings page:
Zappers List
Do you also like gifting pets to those who truly wish for them?Feel you could use the wishlist and/or adoption agency to do so?
You have some spare PB clothes stuck in your closet and would like to transfer them to someone who needs them?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then we were looking for YOU!
Help the ZYDP project running by joining the official ZYDP Zappers List:
www.neopets.com/~Bygn
ZYDP Zappers can:
List their UFA pets at the adoption agency.
Add their spare Paint Brush clothes to Extra PB Clothing page.
Have the wishes they granted recorded (only pets granted through ZYDP public wishlist count) and be ranked up on the Zappers List page.
Remember: gifting is nice thing to do so, but you are NOT obliged to gift. Do so only if you feel you want. If you like the pet you zapped – keep it. You deserve to get your dream pets too :)
ZYDP Adoption Agency
Sometimes Lab Ray zaps a pet into something lovely, yet not listed on the wish list page. To give those pets loving homes, we created an Adoption Agency.Everyone who lists their pets can state their own adoption rules. Yet, most fosters at ZYDP tend to have simple sets of rules and creating an application won't take you much time. We encourage fosters to make the application process easy and applicants to act nice and honest.

Everyone can:
Adopt a pet from the adoption agency.
ZYDP Zappers additionally can:
List their UFA pets at the adoption agency.
ZYDP Extra Paint Brush Clothing Page
If you have a labray, you probably know what it is to have some unneeded Paint Brush clothing stuck in your closet. If you adopted a lovely painted pet from the pound, you might be seeking the Paint Brush clothes that were lost, when the previous owner pounded the pet.In both cases, there's a solution:
www.neopets.com/~Carnavalist
Everyone can:
Get Paint Brush clothes for their unclothed pets (you can only get the clothes that match you pet's color: ex. Halloween aisha clothes can only be put and transfered back on a Halloween aisha).
ZYDP Zappers additionally can:
Add their spare Paint Brush clothes to Extra PB Clothing page
Magma Custom Page
Magma pets look absolutely cool, don't they?To obtain a magma pet you need to go here:
www.neopets.com/magma/pool.phtml
And choose which pet you want to paint magma.
It is not as easy as it looks, because there is certain time frame (around 10 minutes) when you are allowed to dip your pet magma. This time frame is different for everyone and totally random. Note: if you pound a magma pet, it'll turn into a basic red color. However, you can transfer magma pets and they will remain magma.
Unfortunately, some people cannot find their magma time (it might be because it's in the middle of the night, for example). To help them out, there is a Magma Custom page:
www.neopets.com/~MyAceOfSpades
Everyone can:
Request a magma custom.
Volunteer to dip pets magma for those who don't know their magma time.

About the Guild
*We are a public guild, everyone is welcome to join!*
The Zapping Your Dream Pets Guild was created to gather people who wish to help others in achieving their dreams.
Through years the guild has expanded and now it does not only serve as a chatting place for people with similar interests, but also offers many perks for those who decide to join us.
We have created an active community that helps to keep the ZYDP project running and is always there to support their members in various ways: by sharing tips and advices, motivating each other and giving helpful hand whenever it is needed.
What the guild members say about Zapping Your Dream Pets:
I love being a part of a community that is caring, welcoming, hilarious, and all working towards the same goal: to help people receive the pets of their dreams.
I like ZYDP because it is filled with the most selfless, kind-hearted neopian's you will ever meet! Becoming a part of this guild has been one of the best decisions I've ever made on neo!
I like the ZYDP guild because we have a lot of fun while gifting dream pets to deserving people.
I like ZYDP because it is a way of working towards your own dream pets while also helping other Neopians! It is a fun way to meet people!
I like what ZYDP stands for - a community of zappers donating their time and lab rays to try to make someone's day, without asking or expecting anything in return. And ZYDP is one of the lists that really works hard to keep their wishlist updated and add new wishes regularly. That's why I joined, and that's why I've stayed.
Guild Rules
Okay, so these rules are basically common sense, but they're listed here, just in case you want specific guidelines. :)
- ZYDP does NOT have a guild shop, nor do we have a guild account. ZYDP does not collect items/NPs from its members. Anyone claiming to do so is lying and should be reported to Alix, Star, or Josh.
- Please enable Guild Mailings! To do so, go here and check the box next to "Enable Guild Mailings." This allows the ZYDP council to send Neomails to all members of the guild at the same time. (If you don't have this enabled, you'll miss out on the Neomails!) Sometimes important information is sent by Neomail. However, if you forget to enable guild mail, you can always find the most important news on guild's front page. :)
- Stop by the guild message board frequently. We require a monthly post from our members, if this is not possible we do allow exceptions, but please speak with our current member monitor and work out something with him. Sorry, we just feel why join a guild if you are not participating in anything and only requiring 1 post a month isn't much. REMEMBER exceptions can be made if needed!
- We would also appreciate if you would use proper English. No Chat Speak: when you talk lik dis somtims it hardd to understand. (:
- Only post color changes that include the species. (ex: My SPECIES zapped COLOR!) Posts not following these guideline can be removed at council/board monitors discretion/convenience regardless of other post contents.
Posts ONLY containing lab results WILL be removed ASAP. Please include the color change along with other meaningful conversation text. This will help Star let you know if a wish is waiting to be added of your zapped color combo. Catch Star at an advertising board to find out if your zap is waiting to get added.
*This rule could change further if the need arises.* - If you're going for a hiatus longer than a month and don't want to be removed from the guild, neomail the info to snarkie_josh.
- If you are going to be in the guild on more than one account, make sure both accounts meet the expectations of dropping by at least once a month. We will not be keeping up with what account goes with what account, so just make sure to drop by on all accounts you are joining the guild in, but please only participate in the guild activities/polls from 1 account. If you do have a side in the guild we don't care what it is.. but please let us know so we can have a general idea of poll count.. to know if everyone has voted.
- Please avoid spamming the Guild's Private Board.
This means, try not to post multiple (2 or more) messages in a row, if it's possible. If you have a long message and have to split it into two posts, or forgot to add something very important: that is fine. But otherwise try to fit into 1 post at a time.
Also, try to say something more than just "hi" or inserting a random smilie instead of message. Trying to boost your post count at any stake won't bring you benefits.
- When posting your daily zaps, be sure to include the species... Especially on color changes. For example:
Petname turned into Color Species today.
This could help you to be able to grant a wish faster, if Star knows that wish is getting ready to be added to the wishlist you may be informed ahead of the rest. (or someone else may know someone who would love the pet.) As of yet you may still post Stat changes, but as the guild grows and the board becomes more active, this COULD change. - When advertising for ZYDP, remember to be polite and respectful to everyone that you talk to. Your attitude can reflect on the ZYDP guild as a whole. And we want everyone to like us, haha. ;)
- ZYDP is a no-begging zone! We would love to help you adopt your dream pet, but please do not beg for anything.
- Also, individual members of the guild may choose to donate to your (insert-what-you're-saving-for-here) fund. But as a whole, "Zapping Your Dream Pets: the Guild" does not provide Neopoints to its members. Sorry!
- Have fun! (Yes, having fun is a RULE. We command it! XD)
Ranks
Here are the criteria for each of the ranks. Please check and make sure that you have been assigned the correct rank! (note: Council reserves the right to rank ANY member differently as we see it's needed)

Bio: Hi, I'm Star! I'm on neo most of the time. Aside from my job and sleep and the hanging with friends I'm on pretty much on all the time. I'm no artist or writer, and I haven't gotten into the roleplaying aspect of neo,but I'm trying to at least come up with characters for my pets, just in case I ever do. You will often find me at the Pound Chat.

Bio: Hellos! I'm Salsa! I'm your new ZYDP games master, in charge of the advertising page and the weekend welcome committee. When I'm not in school studying the stars you can find me playing with my pets (both neo & real) and creating new images and websites for the guild. Having been a pro-chef, I love food and everything to do with food. My latest obsession is kawaii bento boxes - basically if it's cute: I love it; thus all my baby pets! ^_^ Cheers!

Bio: Hey, I'm Josh! I play on neo on my iPad and iPod so I'm on most of the day, but I'm also on for minutes at a time because then I tend to poof to play games. I've been on neopets for about 9 or 10 years, and have no intention of quitting or going on hiatus. I'm addicted to watching Ghost Adventures, and whenever there is a marathon on, I won't be on neo.

My favourite holiday is Christmas and I'm addicted to Novas, the Chocolate avatar, and the Winter site theme! ZYDP Position: Record Watcher |
Guild Activities
To keep our members entertained, there are several guild activities to participate in. Remembers that these are purely for fun and you won't receive neopoints or items for them. But in return, you will have lots of fun, satisfaction and glory to have your name listed among other active guild members… what else could you ask for?
www.neopets.com/~milleka
Remember to keep checking the Guild Event Calendar to see what interesting events are coming up. Don't forget to list your Birthday (or other day that is important to you) to celebrate that special day with the guild.
Special Wishlists
Dreams are beautiful things to have and most of our guild members are still trying to achieve theirs. ZYDP has created special places where our members can share their neo-related goals with others.The Super Special Guild Member Wishlist is a page where you can list dream pets that cannot be wished for on the public wishlist (/~ZYDP). That includes draiks, plushies, UCs and generally all the color/species combos which cannot be produced by the labray itself.
www.neopets.com/~Raymuna
Note: In order to be listed you must be a Lab Ray Kicker rank or above.
There is also a directory of personal wishlist pages. If you have a petpage on which you keep your NP/NC goals, you can list them there. If you're a mass collector of a particular item, don't forget to mention that too ;)
www.neopets.com/~moserga
Note: the purpose of both pages is to allow guild members to show their goals (both current and achieved ones). It has nothing to do with giveaways and it's not to promote begging in any form.
Advertising
In order to record more wishes, grant more dream pets, find new zappers and promote ZYDP we need to constantly advertise it, to keep possible largest number of players informed about our projects.Advertising is something everyone can do. One way is to link to ZYDP: on your lookup, petpage, in your signature or wherever you feel like adding a link (or banner). The other is to create advertising topics and keep them up.
Most commonly we advertise on the Pound Chat, since it gathers both people who seek pets and those who want to find new home for their foster pets. You will find the link to the ongoing advertising topic in the title of messages on the guild board. The advertising topics are also a place for ZYDP members and zappers to gather and chat.
Occasionally topics on other boards appear, depending which ZYDP page is being advertised.
A separate page dedicated to advertising has been created. You will learn all the details there, find examples of topic titles and intro posts, the advertising schedule and cool buttons and banners to put on your lookup or other page.

Trophies for Advertising
If you helped to keep an advertising topic alive… please continue doing so ;) For your effort you can pick a trophy and display it on your lookup (or wherever you want). The number given below each trophy means how many boards you created OR helped to keep up.
 1 board |

Wishlist Monitoring Crew
ZYDP wishlist is currently the biggest wishlist page on the site. It happens that people forget to neomail back when they achieve their dream pet or when they change their mind and no longer want the pet they submitted. With over 200 usernames listed that is too much for one person to handle both adding new/removing granted wishes and checking if the remaining ones are up to date. For this reason a Wishlist Monitoring Crew has been formed. If you want to help keeping the wishlist up to date, check it out:
