No, you do not get money for donating a dog in Nintendogs. When you choose to donate a dog at the Pet Hotel, it is a permanent act that does not provide any in-game currency.
Understanding Dog Donation in Nintendogs
In Nintendogs, the option to donate a dog is available at the Pet Hotel, which serves as a facility for managing your growing canine family. Unlike selling an item or a pet in other games, donating a dog is a one-way process with specific outcomes:
- Permanent Removal: Donating a dog permanently removes it from your care. Once a dog is donated, you will never see that specific pet in your game again.
- No Financial Gain: As it is a donation and not a sale, you will not receive any money or in-game currency for giving up your dog. This means your wallet balance remains unchanged.
- No Impact on Trainer Points: Donating a dog also has no effect on your Trainer Points. You won't gain or lose any points for this action. Trainer Points are typically influenced by activities like dog care, winning competitions, and discovering items.
This feature is primarily designed to allow players to manage the number of dogs they own, particularly when they reach the maximum capacity or simply wish to rehome a pet without a financial transaction. It's a way to make space or streamline your pet collection without any monetary reward or penalty.
