Someone once asked about Maddie, which annoyed me but only because she's my oldest pet. I can understand why they asked, but with everything I've put into her (as far as potions, elixirs, stats, etc) she's probably worth over 100,000,000 so I'm not just going to give her away, ya know?
I really don't mind, I actually keep a list of people who are interested in adopting so that I never have to make a thread. But I only will add them to the list if they are polite about it. I am really slow with doing anything with my pets but that's really my business.

I've never had anyone ask about my pets, but I don't plan on my pets going anywhere anyway. If someone did ask politely, then I would have to nicely decline as well. Now, if someone was being overbearing and rude about it I would probably just ignore them.

If someone asks me to think about them if/when I decide to give up a pet it's going to be a 99.9% chance I'll forget about them after I close the comment. I'm not being mean here, I'd legit forget.
I had years ago someone ask about a pet and a few months later I decided to adopt it out I couldn't remember their name. I made a topic hoping to have them appear, got no interest so I put the pet into the adoption center a few weeks later. It was adopted by a newbie and then deleted in a clearing.

i hate being asked and ive been asked enough to have to put it in my profile (and ive still been asked after that, rip my ass). however ive always been asked like, "can i have xyz" but i dont think id mind if someone asked me "can you let me know if you put xyz UFA?" i feel thats a lot less annoying. realistically i dont think the owner would remember to let you know, but it gets an owner thinking about whether or not they want the pet. plus it sounds more like youd be willing to do an app vs just magically receive the pet.
I have been asked before and it doesn't bother me as I believe it never hurt to ask. I do however get annoyed at people who think that if your pet has no story/text then you shouldn't have the pet because it is a waste of a pet to just have it sitting on your account doing nothing,whether it has a story or not it would still be doing the same thing. In my opinion a story makes no difference at all as I don't have story for my real life pets.
What makes a pet "idling" though? It seems a bit entitled, but it really depends on the individual interaction imo.

I'm way too shy to ask someone that, I think. I've wanted to, but... yeah, too shy.
I've never been asked, but I don't think I'd be offended. I'd just politely decline.
i don't think i've been asked before, though i wouldn't mind and tbh it may be useful for adopting pets out in future!
i would ask re a few names that i adore, but they're owned by people who have done heaps with them so it would be silly when it's that obvious that the pet is special to them c:
I've never been straight up asked for any of my pets, but I have had people asked the typical "hey if you ever want to adopt out so-and-so, can you let me know", which I don't mind. As long as people are polite about it I have no problem with it.
I've never been asked before. But I wouldn't be offended if someone did ask. I'd understand why they were asking considering none of my pets have any of their stuff up yet xD. So yeah, I don't think it would hurt to ask. As long as you're polite about it the worst thing they can do is ignore you or say no :)
Nobody's ever approached me for any of my pets, but even if they did, as long as they did so respectfully I don't think I'd be bothered by it.
Though I don't think I'd ever go ask anyone for pet names, but that's just me. c:

I get asked every once in a while. As long as it's a polite ask, I don't mind, and I answer them politely and we go on our separate ways, and so far, everyone's respected the no, which is nice.
I haven't asked anyone about their pet names, although you'd better believe I'm silently name-stalking in the extremely faint hope that one might become available. I don't want to ask others myself because I feel that it is somewhat of an imposition, and I don't want to be that person.
I personally don't care. I get quite a bit of smail or comments more than anything just complimenting the name of my pets, like I know what that means most of the time. I get even more mail when i don't leave public information like recent posts up on my profile. It's flattering for the most part. I mean what's the worst that can happen, they ignore you and say no. Big whoop, you gained nothing and lost nothing. I also have re-homed pets before especially ones that sit idle with little plans. Some people do nothing with their pets but let them rot, if it's rotting i don't see anything wrong with solely expressing interest in the pet. But being aggressive or rude about it, especially to an active user is ridiculous. Plus if your pets look like they are rotting too, why would you even waste my time trying to get it from me? I'd rather a rotting pet rot with me, than rot with you.
