Welcome to Knotworks Pet Adoptions and Trades Guild
So, you found us did you? Well, come on in and let us tell you about ourselves.
UPDATED November 20th, 2008.
Requirements For Guild Membership;
Our Guild is dedicated to the search and rehoming of Neopia's stuck and abandoned pets. We are a close knit group of mostly adult players and we would love to have you join. Our group is limited to 13 yr old and older players, not because we wish to exclude anyone, but simply due to the nature of our rehoming process. Neopians interested in joining should send a neomail to Theatician or Sceneographer requesting an invite. We do require that members participate within the guild activities either through fostering, labbing, searching or just chatting on the board on occasion, we need active members.
Requirements for Fosterhomes;
Fosterhomes are required to host a fostered pet until a new home can be voted on. Fosterhomes are required to rehome pets to chosen new homes using safe transfer unless pound transfer is approved by council. Fosterhomes will remain on the junior foster home list until they have been with the guild for more than one year and successfully transferred more than 10 pets.
Guild Rules;
1. Participate! Accounts inactive within the guild for more than 2 months will be deleted.
2. No hoarding pets. Junior Fosters may have 1st choice on 2 pets per year. Senior Fosters may have 1st choice on 4 pets pet year.

Individuals wishing to trade personal pets through Knotworks must provide a list of acceptable trade pets to popcorn_katy so that there is no need for arbitration. Trade pets will only be fostered by Senior Fosters at this time.

Adoptions and Trades;
Knotworks Guild is dedicated to the happiness of all Neopians. As such, we have made it our sole purpose to provide limited edition and specialty painted pets to anyone. We DO NOT require petpage applications for our adoptions. Our Pet Trades are conducted to provide additional pets to fulfill the pet wishlist. Anyone can request to be added to the wishlist. A maximum of 3 pets can be wished for by any one individual. Wishlist requests should be provided to popcorn_katy.
