Dinosawr Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I usually have 3 pets on my main, so i decided to go to the pound to find an abandoned pet. Normally I dont have much luck, there'e usually nothing special there. However I have either gotten lucky, or seen some pretty cool looking pets there. In fact, this morning I found AN 8-BIT KOUGRA in the pound, just missed it I also have seen Jetsams, Kikos, and Cybunnies (so close) The only LE I couls actually get was a Koi. (still pretty cool though) The othe great pound find was an avatar pet, a snow Wocky :laughingsmiley: So, have you guys had any cool pound experiences?

Finn the Human Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I adopted a neopet, just a scorchio though, just got it cause I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvren Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I usually hang around the pound surf boards, but I usally only look for names that I like. I don't think I've ever seen one of those really spectacular pets though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraquanEyrie Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I personally like the pets that I have but I like to look on http://lost.quiggle.org/ for neat names and colours that you might not see very frequently in the pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainshower Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've seen a couple of painted pets in the pound but never any LE or Avatar ones! My second neopet ever were adopted then quite a few others on my sides, but they're normal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright ^_^ Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You can find some pretty nicely named stuck pets in the pound. That's where I got Doxea from (then I zapped her--she started out as basic red). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Five of the pets I own were rescued from the pound. firefly_goblin- Adopted as a Cloud Kiko Hiss_Dragon05- Adopted as a Red Hissi Lippstik- Adopted as a White Usul ChiefBoyardee- Adopted as a Red Tonu Nifuel- Adopted as a Grey Jetsam (yes, I'm serious that I adopted her that way after a friend of mine ditched him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the snow wocky I found wasnt LE, and I can find the Snow PB for under 50k The grey avatar costs at laest a million np for the least expensive morphing potion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Lanky Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I haven't found any worthwhile pets there myself, however, I occasionally will create a pet, colour it magma at the magma pool then abandon it to a loving home. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Don't they just turn red when abandoned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Don't they just turn red when abandoned? Yeah, they do. I don't think they change when transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow, why would anyone disown such an expensive, LE, avatar pet? I'll tell you why he abandoned this Grey Jetsam, though there's not a lot to it. Nifuel was a former lab rat of his original owner, he was abandoned since the original owner was not fond of the Grey colour for Neopets. He could have kept zapping in hope of a more likable colour, but Nifuel was abandoned Grey and put up to grabs by various pound surfers. I adopted him from the pound right when I noticed that my friend has abandoned him, snagged Nifuel has swiftly as possible (only costing me a pet from my posse that I had no need for), and he has been in good active hands ever since late May of 2011. Also, don't abandon your Magma pets. Put them up UFA in our Adoption and Trading Center topic here at TDN or the Pound Chat at the Neoboards.

Saxen Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Congratulations on your Kougie! :) I found Blogs in the pound which I thought was pretty good ^^ Adopted him out to a nice girl in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I haven't ever adopted any l/e or interestingly painted pets, but I have seen a few! I decided a few days ago that I needed a lab rat, so I went looking through the pound and managed to find Nocturnoxis - he's a blue Eyrie. I fell in love with his name, I think it's perfect! I've been zapping him, so we'll see. At the very least he'll have some spectacular stats. The person who put him in the pound neomailed me, thanking me for adopting him.

karmacow Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've pounded a number of interesting pets (see link in signature) as well as adopted a couple of LEs in the hopes of getting good zaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Lanky Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Don't they just turn red when abandoned? Yeah, they do. I don't think they change when transferred. Oops! I was unaware of this! It looks like I have some apologising to do to my former pets. :P I did however only create them for avatar purposes. Also, don't abandon your Magma pets. Put them up UFA in our Adoption and Trading Center topic here at TDN or the Pound Chat at the Neoboards. I'll look into this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've actually had a lot of luck at that pound. That is where I found my Tonu and my split paint brush Kiko! There is a method to it, you have to keep clicking through it over and over again. It probably took me about 15 minutes to find my kiko, but I am in love with her! I've also seen Chombies, Jetsams, Kois, and a few other limited editions. I've also seen the regular pets painted really cool colors! A lot of users just adopt pets or create new ones and use the lab ray on them and throw them back in the pound. So you never know what you might find!

geoterza Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just got a Jetsam from the pound today. I only wanted it for the Jestsam Wanna Fight avatar though, so I'm sending it back tomorrow. I'm sure it will find a good home though, since lots of people want them. It was one of the "stuck in pound" pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryv Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Someone mentioned it before, but I think this page is great to look for cool pound neopets http://lost.quiggle.org/ I adopted my biscuit usul in there :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've seen lots of painted pets in the pound, but I'm too sentimental to adopt any. I only made one of the pets on my main. The other three were adopted from the pound, despite having pretty bad names, because I just felt strangely attached to them. For a few days I had a Faerie Cybunny from the pound, but I didn't form an attachment to him. I ended up passing him along to a friend.

Zafie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I always adopt, transfer and pound a great amount of pets. I enjoy zapping and helping them find good homes. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I never get lucky and see painted pets in the pound, but then again, I don't go looking for them either. I just look for names I like when I go poundsurfing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naamah D. Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 My Zafara and Grundo are pound rescues. Personally, this whole adopting painted pets just because they're painted really doesn't appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annikarose Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I am also a name surfer. Although since I've never seen a rare color in there, I'm not exactly sure how I would react. Probably adopt it compulsively, then repound or gift, since it'd be adopted quickly again anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
