hello hello I am very new to the game (joined today lol) but OMG PRETTY PUPPIES!!! I'm not sure what I have to offer, I just really want a wolf :3 I currently have 2,496 silver! Not sure how this games economy is so I don't know price ranges.

There are some currently on auction for low prices. There is also adopting, there are plenty in the pound. 

I found one on auction for only 1000 silver. Here he is: https://beastkeeper.com/lot/1/816368/

He has GP3, which is a very good trait to look for. GP is when both parents are at level 50 when they breed, and if they don't already have GP, their babys will be GP1. If their parents DO have GP, the babys might get either GP2 or GP1. If both parents are at level 50 and have GP3, their babys will have GP3. If you need me to explain it more, I'll do so. GP helps boost the pets stats, which is helpful when exploring or battling or looking for a pet to complete a quest.
