   In order to have a pet you must be given one, as they appear in your treasury. These are NOT free gifs to be put up in your bio, photo slots or wiki pages, and any that are seen will be removed by the Guards.

   You may not make banners containing any of the original giffie-pets or alter them in any way without permission from [Bookwyrm]. All work is copyright to the Giffie Artists and is only for use in Elfpack.

   If you have any problems or concerns about pet thieves, or any other violations please report them to the Guards using the button in the member's house, or contact [Bookwyrm] directly.

   Making your choice is an important part of owning a giffie, as you are only allowed one pet to begin with! You may extend your giffie-pet family with Giffie-Pet Slots (max limit of five {5} pets total). See #Extra Info for more info about these. Feel free to browse the Giffie-Pet Store until you find a giffie you like the look of, then follow the procedure so you can take the pet home with you.

   If you want to give a second chance to an abandoned pet, look in the Giffie-Pet Pound. The pets here are ones that have been dropped off by their previous owner, and are looking for a new home. Please note that pounded pets already have a name, and cannot be renamed unless you have won or purchased a Giffie Rename Token. For more about these tokens, see #Extra Info.

   If you want a specific type, take a look in the Normal Pet Storehouse as these are all the types we sometimes get in the store. Then keep a lookout on the Store and the Pound for your desired pet. Please choose wisely, If you don't see a pet up in the store that really catches your eye, wait to see what else comes in stock! Don't fill up the Giffie-Pet Pound while you are trying to decide.

   There are some very special pets you may have seen around. They are the Unique Giffie-Pets, and also rare Exotics... but they are limited and need a special ticket to be bought!

   Once you have chosen and you have followed the rules for requesting the pet, it will be delivered to you as soon as possible. Please do not harass the pet store workers!

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066347.png>

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> To reserve your pet simply message [The Giffie Fairy] with your request, telling it which pet you want and the desired name for the pet.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Do not request a pet that isn't in the store.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> The store will restock occasionally, and new animal species may be added at any time. If there are no pets in-store it means we are due for a restock, but please be patient while this happens.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Do not exceed the max stock of the pet (if it says 10 in stock and 10 names are already in line you will have to chose a different pet or wait until that pet comes back into stock).

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066482.png>
     Adoption:

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> To reserve your pet simply add your user name where it says "Adopt Me:" Try reading the Wiki Help pages if you're new to editing wikis.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Pound Giffie-Pets will already have a previous name so you cannot give them a new name unless you have a Giffie Rename Token.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Do not offer (or attempt) to adopt a pet that has already been reserved. If someone else's name is next to a pet, the pet has been claimed. Deleting their name and replacing it with your own will only hurt your chances of owning a giffie-pet in the future.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Please do not offer (or attempt) to adopt a pet if you already have a giffie-pet and do not have another pet slot. We do keep track of these things. ;)

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> If you have a pet already, you can not request a new one until your current one is out of your house. To do this, you must drop your current pet off at the Giffie-Pet Pound.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Please be patient and wait for your pet to arrive. We'll get them to you as quickly as possible. :)

     Dropping Off:

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> The pound is first come, first served, as mentioned above. If you drop off a pet it is fair game for another user to adopt. Do not drop off a pet you may want back!

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> If you drop off a pet at the pound you must wait a period of one month before dropping off another pet. This is to prevent abuse of the restock/pound system.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Add your username to the Giffie-Pet Pound "Drop Offs" list if you wish to disown your pet. Try reading the Wiki Help pages if you're new to editing wikis.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Always add your name to the end of the list, follow the numbered format and keep the page neat.

<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066661.png> Please do not harass the Giffie-Pound workers about when your pet will be picked up. They will rescue it as soon as they can!

<img:http://elfpack.com/stuff/aj/28425/1311898024.png>


<img:stuff/aj/28425/1312066530.png>
   Most importantly, be sure to look after your pet. Feed them and play with them as much as they need and you'll have one happy giffie in your house!

   Please Note: To feed and play with your pet, you just need your imagination. ;) Logging into Elfpack often should be sufficient to stop the pet from leaving you. At present, your pet will not actually leave you.

   If you feel you no longer want your adopted pet, go to the Giffie-Pet Pound and do your part in rehoming the unhappy pet!

2005-07-03 [Big Brother]: i don't wanna kill you hun! i wanna kill morons

2005-07-04 [beautiful _ darkness]: ok im just gonna double check here so on the giffie-pet store page you edit and put your name by the number 4. and then the name that you want to call the pet

2005-07-04 [Peachirach]: People Battlefield has already told you how to get a giffie pet it is written above and like he said if you still are not sure then go to a wiki help page. Dont just ask for what you want this is time consuming and giffie pets are gifts so unless you are quick you probably won't get exactly what you are after you may have to wait until one you like is free. Poor battlefield he is doing his best for all of us so have some respect and re read the above writing then ask yourself "How do I get a giffie pet?"

2005-07-04 [Big Brother]: ya! poor me!! *crys* lol, [beautiful _ darkness] that is correct cept now number 4 may not be there lol.......it'se really easy ppl.! pick a freakin pet and put your name there! and get this!!!!! you get to name your pet too! so put it's names beside yours..........wow, hard and confuzing! but at least you read and asked if you were right......................................i have a plan, i will smite morons that comment on this page asking how to get a pet when all you have to do is read!

2005-07-04 [Big Brother]: i made a forum for stupid questions and morons to keep the comments free from it.

2005-07-04 [beautiful _ darkness]: i just wanted to double check because sometimes i can get very easily confused and be wrong im sorry if i caused any trouble

2005-07-04 [Big Brother]: ok, well join <joinforum:195:pets> (Giffie-Pet Chat and Question Area) if you have more questions

2005-07-07 [DUMBASS_420]: how do you get a pet
