This will is only to be put into action if:
A) I make an announcement to the effect that I am leaving Gaia forever. If this is the case I will probably personally handle the rehomings before I leave. Or:
B) If I have not logged onto my account for exactly two (2) years.
Those pets to be rehomed by shop owners:
Can be rehomed however the owner sees fit. Games, RP contests, gifts, freebies. Whatever you like. I'll probably leave some suggestions, but whether staff follows through on them or not is up to them.
Those pets to be rehomed to other people:
If the person in question does not want the pet, then they may rehome it to whomever they want, however they see fit. If the person is question has quit the shop with no plans to return, and if this has been confirmed by the shop owner, then the pet is to be rehomed by the shop owner to an active threadgoer.
If the person is question hasn't logged onto their account in over a year, the pet is to be rehomed by the shop owner. This goes into effect only if I was the last certified owner. If the pet was already rehomed to someone else and they fall inactive then the pet is still theirs until, if ever, they decide to rehome it themselves.
To those receiving the rehomed pets:
I would really like it if you kept their names and moods the same. Go through my journal, read up on them, maybe try to keep them along that same theme. If they have mates and friends, don't break off those ties without RP or an agreement of some kind. I'm not going to require this of you, but please consider it a courtesy and symbol of respect to those who made ties to my darlings while I was still active.

I have several foxes who are marked as "Do not rehome". These are not so much because I want them to die with me as there is no clear person I could think to give them to. The list includes 1st gen singles without any solid plots, permakits, self-mated couples, and children of self-mated couples. I am minded to will these foxes to people who might be interested in them, however I want to be clear that I attach certain conditions to them.
Plotless 1st Gen singles:
Please note that just because they do not have mates or plots now, that might not be the case in the future. I tend to give these foxes to the owner of their romantic interest. Should these foxes find plots I will likely change my will to either the other owner or I will leave it between the two of you. Do not ask to be willed a single if you're going to get upset about me possibly changing my will in the future.
Permakits:
Permakits, as the name suggests, are permanently stuck in the body of a kit. They cannot form a romantic relationship, nor would they have the desire for one. However I have created my own, informal version of lifemating for a permakit, inspired by a Harvest Moon game which allows you to "court" someone of your own gender rather than marry someone of the opposite gender. This is the "Best Friend" situation. All of my permakits come paired with a best friend, and their bond is as strong as a lifemating in my eyes. I refuse to will away a single permakit; it's either the pair or nothing. I have their best friends listed in my journal, so if you do not already know who their best friend is you should go look them up and be sure you want the pair. Do not ask to be willed a permakit if you don't want their partner as well.
Self-mated lifemates:
Like permakits, these will be willed away in pairs. If you do not know who is lifemated to who, you can find the information in my journal. Some of these are older generation foxes with family in the shop. I am more minded to will these foxes to those who own family members than to someone who does not. Some of my self-mated lifemates are both first generation foxes. I will be pickier about who I rehome these two, since I want to make sure they go to someone who is interested in them as a couple. Regardless, these foxes are to remain a lifemated couple! Do not ask to be willed a lifemated couple if you do not intend to keep them together.
Self-mated lifemate children:
Like the 1st gen foxes these have yet to find solid mate plots. This may change in the future. I do not always own all the children and they may have grandparents owned by other people. I am more minded to give these to either the owners of potential mates or the owners of their siblings/other family members. Do not ask to be willed a single if you're going to get upset about me possibly changing my will in the future.

I'd like to include a few more notes. Some of these foxes are in tribes, and should you inherit them they are to remain in their tribes. I reserve the rights both to refuse a request to be willed a fox and to change my will at my own discretion. Do not request to be willed a fox who is already willed to someone else. If you want to be willed an undetermined fox, send me a PM or contact me through Skype.
