Heya guys, if any of you are into or remember that old style of adopting from a forum with a small community then I recommend you check out The Crossroads. I'm a member there and I love it!

You can breed, roleplay, sell, trade, show and page your pets on a site.
As an example here's my pet site: http://www.willowfeather.byethost7.com/
It's free! It's a small community, like six active members xD;
There are some really cute critters available for adoption. Here are a few that I adopt out.
There is a joining application but it's very easy peasy! :D
