How to Get the Black Dog Pet in Adopt Me! Halloween Update Guide

The Halloween 2025 update in Adopt Me! has introduced plenty of spooky surprises, from the new Spider pets to the mysterious Black Dog that’s got everyone searching across Adoption Island. Many players have been confused about where to find this new pet, since it’s not sitting in a fixed location like most event pets. Here’s a complete guide on how to find and get the Black Dog in Adopt Me’s Halloween event.

What Is the Black Dog Pet?

The Black Dog is one of the new Halloween pets added in Week 2 of the event. It’s a limited-time pet that matches the event’s dark theme and pairs well with the new Halloween sticker packs and furniture. Unlike other pets, you can’t find it in the shop or inside the event building — instead, it roams freely around the map.

How to Find the Black Dog

Many players expected the Black Dog to appear near its kennel inside the Halloween event area, but it’s actually walking around Adoption Island instead. To locate it:

1. Open the Event Menu – Click on the Halloween event tab in Adopt Me.
2. Select “Black Dog” – You’ll see the Black Dog listed as one of the pets.
3. Click “Navigate” – Once selected, your navigation arrow will guide you directly to the Black Dog’s current location.
4. Follow the Arrow – The dog moves around the map, so your navigation will update as it walks. Keep following until you find it.

Once you reach the Black Dog, you’ll see it wandering around in real time — just like a wild NPC.

How to Get and Purchase the Black Dog

When you find the Black Dog:

• Walk up to it and interact when the “Buy” option appears.
• You can then purchase the Black Dog for Candy, the special event currency used during Halloween.
• After purchasing, the pet will be added to your inventory instantly.

The Black Dog may also appear in event bundles or reward tiers later in the update, so check back regularly in case the developers rotate its availability.

The Black Dog adds a fun scavenger hunt twist to Adopt Me’s Halloween event. Instead of just buying it from a stall, you’ll have to track it down across Adoption Island using your navigation system. Once you find and purchase it, you’ll have one of the rarest and most mysterious Halloween pets of 2025. So grab your Candy, follow the arrow, and don’t miss your chance to catch the Black Dog before the event ends!
