Having Trouble Adopting a Pet?


**UPDATE (Feb. 5, 9:30AM EST) These issues should now be resolved.

**UPDATE (Feb. 4, 10:30AM EST) If you tried to adopt a pet and now cannot log in, please email webkinzsupport@ganz.com with your username and details of the issue.


**UPDATE (Feb. 3, 4:25PM EST)** If you have fewer than 650 pets, it’s now safe to adopt your pet at the Adoption Center.

Recently some players have reported not being able to adopt new pets at the Adoption Center. When an error occurs, one of the following will happen:
1) After you enter the pet’s name, you get a server error.

 

2) After you fail to adopt a pet, you also can’t log into your account.

 

3) If a bad word is attempted as a pet name, the adoption process stops but you don’t receive an error message.

 

 

It appears that these issues are only affecting accounts with a very large number (200+) of pets. If you do run into one of these issues, please don’t adopt any new pets just yet and contact Customer Service to allow access to your accounts.

 

Ganz is actively working on fixing these issues. We’ll post another announcement when the issues are resolved.
Thank you for your patience.

    • ilovepenguins10 says:

      Sorry, but it can’t be changed. Before you adopt your webkinz, you should make sure that webkinz.com and your computer don’t have any loading problems at the moment.

    • Princesskitty02 says:

      My friend has 24 webkinz and she hasn’t adopted a webkinz in a while and she can’t log in.

      • ilovepenguins10 says:

        To: Princesskitty02 I’ve seen your comments a lot. Does it say that her account information is wrong. Okay. Everyone that reads this. WHEN YOU GET A WEBKINZ ACCOUNT, OR IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE AND YOU’VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE PUT IN YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS (OR YOUR PARENTS IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE) SUPER EASY. SAVES YOU THE SADNESS OF LOSING YOUR ACCOUNT.

      I feel your pain

    I bought the Red Velvet Fawn and the whole adoption process was nothing like the usual process of adoption. Choice was either a cat or dog which the fawn was not either, but I choose Cat. Now I can not even get into that account because I can not give them the correct secret. I adopted the same pet on my main account and the secret code was different and it worked just fine. Anyone have a suggestion, calling Ganz about the problem was of no help in solving this problem.

  3. True2MyWord1 says:

    So I’m guessing everyone’s on GanzWorld right now?

  4. True2MyWord1 says:

    I hope that everyone who is having a problem’s accounts gets fixed! Hopefully you can read that. :mrgreen:

  5. space1 says:

    Please postpone the retirement activities until this is fixed. These are your best customers that have this problem; which is evident by the number of pets on their account. Not being able to adopt a retired pet and participate in the activities is making a lot of people sad.

  6. Bows22 says:

    Thank you Ganz! But why would anyone attempt a bad word as a pet name? That’s just not right… :(

  7. bgos says:

    Sounds good! Never had that though, heard of it though. First one to comment! Whoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. LambTyler says:

    I haven’t been having any issues adopting pets. Then again, I haven’t actually adopted any in a while :P I was going to soon though, so it’s good they posted this. And I don’t have to worry about 200+ pets, I don’t think I’d ever have that many…

    • Misty900 says:

      My only glitch was when I adopted my pink pony, Stardust and when I was naming her, the picture of her in the corner didn’t show. Same with her certificate, but it’s fine now! :P Like you said, Lamb, I think my mm would freak if I even had 50 on my account! :mrgreen:

      • Snowflake Pup Queen says:

        Mine wouldn’t because I have brothers who have more than that of beenie babies. She understands it’s a collection.

        • Misty900 says:

          e other glitch is that I have the most playful lil kinz polka back fish EVER!! Tina’s bio says that “she’s playful, playful, an a good artist. ROTFL!!!!!!!!!! :oops: :mrgreen:

          • popy380 says:

            LOL, :lol: my pink punch puppy’s discription is “curious, a good musisian, and curious” which BTW isn’t like her at all… sunkist is the cutest pink punch puppy EVER! i got the playful picture as her POTM item. i’m going to put it in my OTHER pet of the month’s room. my other pet of the month was the pet for november, the patchy puppy. i named her lollipup! my best friend helped me come up with it. i wanted to name her lollipop, and my BFF suggested lolliPUP. ADORABLE WEBKINZ RULE KINZVILLE FOREVER! >~pop~<

          • Bows22 says:

            This sorta thing happened with the Mistletoe Mouse gift box during the Christmas thing.

  9. True2MyWord1 says:

    Aww! You guys are so nice! Which Webkinz do you have if you have over 200+ pets? You must be some serious collectors! -T2MW1-

    • kinzklipfan says:

      I didn’t have trouble adopting a pet, but for my Tawny Pup it never let me open the adoption gift. I’ve had this pet for almost 2 years (maybe longer), but whenever I drop the box into my room, an error message pops up and I’m logged out.

      • True2MyWord1 says:

        Hmm… sounds very strange. Sorry! I can’t help you. :(

      • prettypinktulip says:

        Wow! Me too!

      • 48Becky says:

        I wish you could have the Tawny Pup gift box that I have had forever – without adopting the pet. It just appeared one day and I can’t get rid of it. Sorry.

      • kitkat555555 says:

        ya, my new Google i got today (her name is Winter) and my other 2 new ones (Kermit and Lucky) when i adopted Kermit and Lucky, they came with their rooms. But when i adopted Winter, she had no room. i logged off and loged back in and her room was still not there and i had to spend $700 on a room for her :(

        • webkinz244 says:

          how weird… my arctic polar bear is called winter any way how many pets had u adopted before u adopted winter. i may be able to help u

        • popy380 says:

          if winter was your eleventh pet, then just one thing… you only get a room with your first-to-tenth pet. if winter was your eleventh pet, then it wasn’t a glitch. hope i helped! >~pop~<

        • Karalove01 says:

          That’s because after you adopt so many pets you don’t get a room. It happens to everybody. There’s no problem.

          • nonopuppy123 says:

            I wish you always get a free room because rooms aren’t cheap and I have 120 webkinz and only 2,000 kinzcash!!!If you are one of my friends on webkinz and your rich please send me a kinzcash coin and i’ll thank you with a rare item ( item depends on coin , and I hope people will help me because I have 20 webkinz without rooms and they need beds ) please help me ,nonopuppy! ;(

          • Princesskitty02 says:

            I can be your friend and send you beds because I love earning kins cash.

          • nonopuppy123 says:

            What is your username then ….. I got 8 friend requests this morning so I don’t know who is you .

          • kaye10 says:

            Hi! Just a few ideas…there are so many ways to get kc, I can usually get between 500-1000 every day…so look for all the ways to add to your stash. Next, build some rooms for multiple pets like a boutique, bank, store, cafe, park, etc.–whatever you like…that way you won’t need a room for every pet! Plus every time you adopt a pet you get kc and other items you can sell or trade if you have repeats or don’t want them, so save up coupons and spend the kc wisely :) Hope this helps and good luck!

          • True2MyWord1 says:

            I can help you by sending you things to sell!! If you want to be friends, of course. See you around WW! -T2MW1-

          • LadyBeauty says:

            Other fun ways to build up Kinz cash would be to play games in the arcade, and create a garden in a backyard room. You can save money by feeding your pets the fresh veggies and fruits, plus earn money by selling extra produce that accumulates in your docket. I don’t have as many pets as you, but I did create a huge castle for my pets. Whenever I see I have accumulated 30, 40, 50 of anything, I sell the extras I don’t want back to the W-Shop and usually keep around 20 of each garden item on hand to feed my pets. I did these things to help earn and save up kinz cash so I could buy and decorate a few rooms over a period a time. Now I have just under 100 rooms and the castle is still growing, as well as my Webkinz collection! By doing this over several years, I no longer have to worry about not having kinz cash because I continue to sell what I don’t want or need and love to play games in the arcade which keeps the kinz cash coming in! I hope this helps! Have a great day in Webkinz World!!!!

          • blueryan6 says:

            I have more than enough cash & I love rare items! I will send you a friend request

          • recipesleuth says:

            Plant a bunch of strawberry seeds. Its slightly annoying at first but they will get you the most kinzcash. I don’t even keep mine up that much because I don’t need the cash anymore.

          • dogz2rock77 says:

            I’ll send you one my User Name is rholl2 no caps or spaces plz add me and I’ll send one or two

        • bethincanada1 says:

          kitkat555555 if winter was your 11th or over pet on your account than he does not come with a room. If you have 11 or over pets on that account they stop giving rooms when you log on your 11th pet. I hope this helped you :)

        • Brookroses says:

          :) That is actually totally normal. (I’ve been a Webkinz player for 6 1/2 years.)

          • isabell says:

            Me too!Oh and my friend has the twny gift box thing too fix that please her username is crazeesally thanks -lindzy7

          • isabell says:

            I have a glitch and its a purple crystal. Its was supposed to be a panchico seed and its like the tawny gift box.I can’t do anything with it! please i beg of you turn it into a real crystal that I can put in my room or whatever, and if you can’t then just delete it please HELP -lindzy7

          • webkinzworld says:

            Hi isabell – this is a known issue and we’re currently looking into how to fix it! For now, hold onto your Purple Crystal and we’ll announce a solution soon :)

          • isabell says:

            Thank you soo much!

        • swirlgirl04 says:

          I don’t get rooms either . I think it is because the certain amount of pets you have . I have 25 pets and i didn’t get rooms after my 5th pet.

        • petlover24435 says:

          Well, if it’s your tenth or higher pet, I believe you shouldn’t get a room. Instead, you get a super exclusive bed. This is why I pre-made a room for my ninth pet so that when my tenth pet comes, I’ll use the free room I got with my ninth! I’ll have to be saving up money for more rooms though…I know for a fact that i’ll add an eleventh.

      • Kweela says:

        I got a Tawny Pup Box but never knew how!

        • bertnelson says:

          I also got two Tawny Pup boxes, and at first couldn’t figure out why. But then I realized that I had won (twice) a dresser on the Wheel of Wow, but instead of the dresser I got the Tawny Pup box instead. And I haven’t been able to do anything with them for over two years now. They just sit in my dock….

          • chicowl123 says:

            That happend to my BFF I forgot what she did to get it but now she can’t do anything with it. Its really weird and she dide’nt even adopt a Tawny Pup!

      • alohamichael says:

        Are you sure you have a tawny pup? A lot of people got its gift box in a glitch.

      • ilovepenguins10 says:

        That’s too bad. :( I don’t have any problems. It might be the computer, though. I changed to a different computer and the adoption process was a lot easier.

      • loolin says:

        My sister tried to adopt a peace and love puppy on her account, and when she tried to adopt it, it said the code that she just bought was already used! She got it at justice, and a stranger must have took it into a locker room or something and opened and written down the code…..

      • eastercat12345 says:

        The same thing happened to me!Just e-mail Ganz and they will fix it!! :mrgreen:

      • sammyzozo says:

      • tigger511975 says:

        email webkinzsupport@ganz.com they will reset it for you tell them the problem and your user name NOT password and they will fix it or email you back with what to do or you can get your parent to call

      • SmoresOfScotland says:

        I’ve had a similar problem with a clownfish gift randomly appearing in my dock that it would let me open. I didn’t have a clownfish. Later I got a clownfish as a mystery pet in a trading card pack, which I hoped would fix it, but instead I’ve got two un-open-able gift boxes. It just pops up and says “could not find rules for create gift”. It doesn’t log me out, though. The only thing I can think is maybe I traded for the first box, but that doesn’t explain it not opening. It’s so frustrating! Please fix this, GANZ! Thanks.

    • etncpink says:

      This is some good advice. I should remember it. :p :D :)

    • Misty900 says:

    • CocoaBunny says:

    • babybug says:

      I have 415 and the last adoption was the problem. They had to take him off my account so I could log back in! Now I have to wait to adopt anymore until they fix the problem so I can’t even adopt my new Pink Punch Cheeky Dog, the new pet of the month!
