I want to know if it's okay to take a pet from the adoption center, change it, train it, give it a minion, nice profile, etc. then send it back so a random user will stumble upon it? I personally don't think it's breaking any rules, and it doesn't say anything in the official rules, so I want to be sure that it's fine before trying, in case it does turn out to be against the rules. I'm not trying to sell or trade it for anything, I just want to give a nice surprise :)

I don't see what the problem would be with that myself. :)

Do you know if pets retain their profiles when they are pounded? Before you do all that art and coding, better check.

They do retain the pet profiles.

thank you, that was good to know!

No problem! :)
