I don't think you can get them back. Its sad, I know. You have to wait awhile until you can adopt another pet.

mine got taken because of a glitch where one of them was stuck guarding the bowl of food and i couldnt get it to do anything else - it wouldnt even sleep after it was completely exhausted. only thing that broke the stick was when they took him and my other pup away

My pets were perfectly fine but the girl came to take them away.

Yes, I just had my 2 dogs taken away even though they were perfectly looked after with lots of open space, big house, big beds and only a bit lonely when my sim was sleeping or eating as my sim works from home (real estate) but the dogs were never neglected and could play with each other and now my sim is a bit lonely and I can't re-adopt!

Guest said: 13th Oct 2018 | REPORT
First guest. Your an idiot. She meant My pet horse, Alex and my dog, Randy.
Guest answered:

I'm not sure how to get your pet back, they just took my little family of dogs and it said I was neglecting them but I don't think I was, I was actually playing with one at the time. I miss my dogs :(

Guest answered:

When your dog cat or horse is taken away you have to make friends with the social worker (weird huh but just hang with me.) Once you have made friends with the social worker, go to his or her house and start being mean to them do stuff like insult, scare, fight and imply their mother is a llama they are the best ones. Once you are arch enemies with the social worker go to the phone and adopt the pets back you have to wait about 2 sim days before you can adopt your pets back. It works trust me I've done it every time they took my pets.

Guest answered:

No, they take your dog and out it uo for adoption so if your lucky you csan adopt and get your dog back

Guest answered:

Most of these are lies. Btw. But after a couple of days you can readopt them by clicking adopt a pet from shelter, but check every few hours because chances are they will get adopt by another person /. yes sad...

i waited a sim week and didnt get them back -_-
Guest said: 14th Mar 2015 | REPORT
someone must have taken them, like the did to Penny :'( Forever in our hearts
Guest said: 28th Feb 2016 | REPORT
befriend the person who owns them and have penny move in and then hate the owner and you can keep the pet
Guest answered:

You can also quit without saving and go back to the last saved time which was hopefully still with your pets.

I stepped away from my game a few minutes and got my bf Sim's dog taken away. I was almost in tears cause she isn't his dog irl but neglect is the story of her life and my bf would be heartbroken. I wish is was that easy for neglectful owners irl. Anyway, long story short, quitting without saving did save our little fluff muffin. Thank you!!!
Guest answered:

If you haven't saved your game just go onto main menu and then your pets should be there

Isoscelesdreams answered:

You most certainly can get them back. Wait awhile for the option to appear on your computer to "Adopt a pet from a shelter." Your pet should be there. If not; it's just left your house and hasn't made it to shelter yet or someone adopted them already. All hope isn't lost if they have. Check your neighborhood tags in map view. Someone has them. Steal them or add to family...

Guest answered:

If you evict your family with their house, you can bulldoze the old lot and move them back in. This will get rid of the neglect moodlet that keeps you from adopting pets. When I did this I was able to immediately readopt my pets. I even had the old relationship status with them. I lost nothing but my pending wishes. Well worth it.
