Adopt Me INSPECTOR SHEPHERD! Guide

Updated on January 20, 2026 (about 3 hours ago)

The Adopt Me INSPECTOR SHEPHERD! event kicks off on January 16 and brings fresh pets, quick tasks, and cool rewards you don’t want to miss. This event is free to play, no Robux needed, and lasts about a week until January 23. If you want to grab the new German Shepherd and Sneak Weasel pets before they possibly become limited, this is your chance.

Here’s how to jump into the INSPECTOR SHEPHERD! event and what to expect

When you log in during the event, you’ll see new themed decorations and meet Inspector Shepherd, a German Shepherd NPC who teams up with Henry the Handler near the Hospital and School. The main fun comes from catching Sneak Weasels that escape around Adoption Island. When you hear sirens, it’s time to race and catch these sneaky pets. Each time you return them to the pen with Inspector Shepherd, you earn bucks.

The tasks are fast and simple, making the gameplay lively and rewarding. You can use the bucks you earn to get the new pets or other event items.

When to log in for the best experience

The event starts at different times worldwide on January 16. Logging in early helps avoid server lag and ensures you don’t miss out. Here are the start times for some key regions:

How to get ready before the event

Make sure your Adopt Me game is fully updated before January 16. Joining servers with fewer players can help avoid lag during the event. Also, save up your bucks because some pets or items might become limited after the event ends. Keeping an eye on Adopt Me’s official updates helps you stay informed about any last-minute changes.

What you’ll be doing during the event

The main activity is catching Sneak Weasels whenever you hear sirens. These quick rounds keep the gameplay exciting and reward you with bucks each time you succeed. Use those bucks to unlock the new German Shepherd and Sneak Weasel pets.

No Robux is needed to get these pets, so it’s a great opportunity to expand your collection without spending real money.

Don’t miss the Admin Abuse event right after

Right after INSPECTOR SHEPHERD!, there’s the Admin Abuse event on January 17 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST (17:00-18:00 UTC). It’s a separate, shorter event lasting just one hour. Make sure to plan your time so you don’t miss out on either event.

The INSPECTOR SHEPHERD! event is a perfect way to add some fresh excitement to Adopt Me with new pets and quick, rewarding tasks. Jump in early, catch those Sneak Weasels, and enjoy the limited-time content before it’s gone.

With the Admin Abuse event following right after, January 16 and 17 are packed with action. Stay ready and enjoy the ride.
