Experience the joy of owning a dog without any of the mess or work a real pet requires.
Many children beg their parents for a dog without realizing the work that goes into owning a pet. Virtual dog games allow young players to adopt pets and to learn care for them without the risks and effort associated with a real animal. Online dog adoption games can be very realistic and teach children about the responsibilities of caring for a pet in a safe environment.
Adopt Me.com
Adopt Me.com offers several virtual pets including cats, dogs, fish, horses and birds. Users do not need to create an account to adopt a pet, though that option is available, and once a pet is chosen players may also select the name, age, and sex of their dog. Players play with their dogs, feed them and visit the pet store to purchase toys and food. In addition to caring for their dogs, AdoptMe.com users can chat with other players, dress up their dogs and even find a job for their pets.
