African Wild Dog Adopt Me Value Overview
First, the short story of this pet
Quick Answer: The African Wild Dog is a limited Ultra-Rare pet in Adopt Me! It was added on July 13, 2023, as a reward in the Accessory Shop. Players unlocked it by buying 5 UGC items, which cost 295 to 500 Robux in total. It left the game on January 4, 2024. Now, you can get it only by trading. Use the values table at the top of this page to see what each type is worth today.
The sections above show the values, the trend, and the trading details. This part tells you more about the pet. The African Wild Dog is an Ultra-Rare pet, but do not let the rarity fool you. In trades, it is worth more than many Legendary pets. Its normal value is 156 Shark Value, and its demand is high. Traders ask for it by name, and owners do not give it away cheaply.
This pet never came from an egg. It was a reward in the Accessory Shop. When a player bought 5 UGC items from the shop, the African Wild Dog was unlocked. The items were not expensive one by one. They cost between 59 and 100 Robux each. But a player had to buy five of them, so the full unlock is between 295 and 500 Robux.
The pet stayed in the shop for almost six months. It replaced the Glacier Moth when it arrived on July 13, 2023. Then, on January 4, 2024, the Jellyfish replaced it, and the African Wild Dog left the game. No new ones have been added since that day. Every African Wild Dog in the game today was unlocked in that short time or traded after it.
So, what is an African Wild Dog worth in Adopt Me, and what is its price in trades today? The best answer is in the live values table above. It shows the Normal pet, the Neon, the Mega Neon, and the types with potions. The African Wild Dog Adopt Me value sits at 156 Shark Value for the Normal type. That puts it in the same trading band as pets like the Balloon Unicorn, which is a Legendary pet. Use the table, not an old number in an article.
Adopt Me has never shared official pet values. This is true for the African Wild Dog and for all other pets. Players make the values from real trades. Demand is very important. If many players want a pet, its value can go up. If fewer players want it, its value can go down. This pet’s demand is high, and its supply can only shrink, because pets leave the game when players quit, and four copies at a time are joined into Neons.
The best thing about the African Wild Dog is that it earned its value in a different way. Most strong pets came from eggs or events. This one came from a shop reward that cost real Robux. Players who unlocked it paid money for it, and that is one reason owners hold it with care today.
How to Get African Wild Dog in Adopt Me
First, you need to know one thing: you cannot unlock this pet now. The Accessory Shop reward is gone. This is how players got it when it was in the game:
- Go to the Accessory Shop in the game during the time the reward was active, from July 13, 2023 to January 4, 2024.
- Buy UGC items from the shop. Each item cost between 59 and 100 Robux.
- Keep buying until you have bought 5 UGC items in total.
- The African Wild Dog was unlocked as your reward once the fifth item was bought.
That was the only way the game gave this pet. It was not in an egg. It was not sold for Bucks. It could not be earned from a mini-game. If a player did not spend Robux at that time, they did not get the pet from the game.
The reward changed over time
The African Wild Dog was not the first pet in that reward spot, and it was not the last. Before it, the Glacier Moth sat in the Accessory Shop reward spot. The African Wild Dog replaced it in July 2023. Then the Jellyfish replaced the African Wild Dog in January 2024. Each reward pet was there for a few months and then left for good.
Trading is the only way now
Trading is the only way to get an African Wild Dog today. Follow these steps:
- Find an owner who wants to trade. Because its value is high and its demand is high, many owners will ask for strong offers. Be ready for that.
- Know the exact type before you make an offer. Is it Normal, Neon, or Mega Neon? Does it have No Potion, Fly, Ride, or Fly Ride (FR)? Each type has its own place in the values table. The value can be very different from one type to the next.
- Check the full offer, not only the main pet. Many trades for this pet include a group of pets and items. It is easy to make a mistake with a big group. Add the value of all pets and items before you accept.
- Read all the details in the trade window. If the other player changes something at the last moment, check everything again. Check the pet name, age, and potions.
- Do not pay more because of a story. Some players say this pet will come back soon, or will never come back, to push the price up or down. There is no confirmed news either way. Trade on the value you can see in the table today.
Keeping the Trade Clean
Most trade scams follow the same tricks. If you know these tricks, you can stay safe.
The trust trade. A player says, “Give me your pet first. I will give you mine after.” Do not do this. There is no safe trust trade. If a player asks you to give a pet outside the trade window, it is not a safe trade.
The other account trick. A player agrees to a trade, but then says the pet is on another account. They add that account as a friend, and then they remove you. If a player says the pet is on another account, walk away. The only pet that matters is the pet you can see in the trade window.
The rush. A player says, “Quick, accept now.” This is a common trick. Scammers want you to act fast so you do not check the trade. A fair trade will still be fair after one minute. Safe trades stay inside the official trade window. Both players can see all pets and items. Check everything before you accept.
African Wild Dog Appearance
A wild dog with a spotted back
The African Wild Dog looks like a real wild dog from Africa. It has a dark brown body and brown ears. Its eyes are black, and its nose is small and a darker brown than the rest of its face.
The inside of its ears has off-white fluff. Its back is the part players notice most. The back is tan, and it is covered with brown and off-white spots, like the coat of a real African wild dog. No two pets in the game wear this coat. It does not look like a normal Dog, and it does not look like a wolf. It has its own wild look.
Its tail is small and brown, and it ends in a white tip. The whole pet looks alert, like it is ready to run. In a plaza full of soft, round pets, the spotted back stands out at once.
That look is a big part of why players want it. Many Ultra-Rare pets are simple recolors of common pets. This one is not. It was drawn as its own animal, and it still looks fresh next to pets that came out after it.
Neon African Wild Dog and Mega Neon African Wild Dog
The glowing forms, and how players make them
Neon African Wild Dog
You can make a Neon African Wild Dog by joining four Full Grown African Wild Dogs at the Neon Cave. The neon African Wild Dog glows neon green. The light sits inside its ears, on the spots on its back, on its tail, and on its front feet.
The spots are the best part. In the normal form, the spots are brown and off-white. In the Neon form, they light up green, so the wild pattern on its back is easy to see even in the dark. The green light on the front feet looks like the pet is standing on glowing ground.
Want to make one yourself? Our guide on how to make a Neon pet in Adopt Me walks you through it step by step.
Mega Neon African Wild Dog
A Mega Neon African Wild Dog is made by joining four Neon African Wild Dogs, so you need 16 normal ones in total. The mega neon African Wild Dog glows in the same places as the Neon form, inside the ears, on the spots, on the tail, and on the front feet, but the color does not stay green. It cycles through the colors of the rainbow.
Very few players own this form. Sixteen copies of a pet that left the game in January 2024 is a lot to collect, and each copy is worth 156 on its own. Most players who want the Mega Neon trade for it instead of making it.
Check the values table above before you join your pets. The Neon and Mega Neon numbers do not always grow the way players expect, and the table tells you which side is better today.
African Wild Dog Tricks
The tricks it learns as it grows
The African Wild Dog grows in the same stages as other pets: Newborn, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, Post-Teen, and Full Grown. It learns these tricks:
- Newborn: Sit
- Junior: Joyful
- Pre-Teen: Beg
- Teen: Jump
- Post-Teen: Trick 1
- Full Grown: Trick 2
There are no special tricks for this pet. It learns the normal set, in the normal order. If you grow four of them to make a Neon, you will see these tricks many times.
Is the African Wild Dog Worth It?
Read this before you trade for one
It depends on what you want. You may want a good pet for trading. You may want a fun pet to keep and use. This is one of the rare pets that does both jobs well. Here are the good and bad points.
Pros
Cons
If you want a strong trading pet that is not a Legendary, the African Wild Dog is one of the best picks in the game. If you want one to keep, its wild, spotted look will not get old. Before any trade, check both sides in the Adopt Me Trade Calculator, so you know the trade is fair.

African Wild Dog Adopt Me FAQs
The questions players ask the most
Its worth changes with the trading market. A number written in this article could become old very fast. You can see the live African Wild Dog value for the Normal, Neon, and Mega Neon types, and for the Fly, Ride, and Fly Ride types, in the values table above. Check the table before you trade. Also check the exact type you want to trade, because each type has a different value.
Three reasons. First, it cost real Robux to unlock, between 295 and 500 Robux of UGC items. Second, it was in the game for less than six months, so not many were unlocked. Third, its demand is high. A limited pet that many players want will hold a strong value.
Only by trading. The Accessory Shop reward ended on January 4, 2024, and the pet has not been given by the game since then. Every African Wild Dog you see in a trade was unlocked before that date.
It was a reward in the Accessory Shop. A player who bought any 5 UGC items from the shop unlocked it. The items cost between 59 and 100 Robux each. It replaced the Glacier Moth in that reward spot on July 13, 2023.
There is no sign of it returning. It was a limited Accessory Shop reward, and pets like this normally stay out of the game once they leave. If a player gives you a return date, they are only guessing. Make your trade based on the pet as it is today.
A Fly Ride African Wild Dog has a Fly Potion and a Ride Potion. You can fly with it and ride it. Players use the short name FR (Fly Ride) for this type. The other types are No Potion, Fly only, and Ride only. They are the same pet with different potions, and each type has its own row in the values table.
No one can say for sure. Its supply cannot grow, which helps its value over time, and its demand is high. The trend section above shows where its value is going now. Check it before you buy, sell, or keep the pet.
Compare the values first. Four normal African Wild Dogs are worth 624 in total, and one Neon is worth 610, so trading the four pets one by one can bring a little more than the Neon. With a Mega Neon, the gap can grow even more, because it takes 16 copies in total. Make a Neon if you love the green glow and want to keep it. Trade the pets one by one if your goal is to get the most value.
It was never sold for a set price. It was unlocked by buying 5 UGC items in the Accessory Shop. The cheapest items cost 59 Robux and the most expensive cost 100 Robux, so the full unlock is between 295 and 500 Robux.
Keep the full trade inside the official trade window. Never give your pet first in a trust trade. Never move the trade to another account. If the other player changes an item, check every pet and item again. Check the name, age, and potions before you accept. If the player rushes you, say no and leave the trade.
Final Thoughts
What to remember about the African Wild Dog
The African Wild Dog is a pet that quietly became one of the strongest Ultra-Rare pets in Adopt Me! It never came from an egg. It was a shop reward that cost real Robux; it was here for less than six months, and then it was gone. Its spotted look is one of a kind, its demand is high, and its value of 156 Shark Value puts it next to Legendary pets in trades.
Keep one if you like pets with a real story behind them. If you trade for one, check the trade window two times and check the values table first. The type and potions are the most important parts of the trade, and never pay extra only because a player says the pet is about to come back or about to disappear. Neither story is confirmed.
