'''Animals''' fulfill several roles on your farm. Some are wildlife, with which you cannot interact. You may have a pet, a cat or dog, with which you can form a friendship. You may get a horse to ride. And of course, you may buy "farm animals" that are a source of various kinds of produce, providing resources and profit.
'''Animals''' fulfill several roles on the farm. Some are wildlife, which cannot be interacted with. A pet, a cat or dog, can be earned which the player can form a friendship with. A horse can be bought to ride with. And "farm animals" can be bought which serve as a source of various kinds of produce, providing resources and profit.
Most animals (not pets or wildlife) require a building to house them. These may be obtained from [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]], and usually require three days each for her to build. Baby "farm animals" (and related equipment needed for harvesting produce) can then be bought from [[Marnie's Ranch]]. Animals may also be hatched from an [[Incubator]]. As soon as an animal is acquired, it must be assigned to an existing farm building of the right kind, which is designated as its home. Each building has a limit to the number of animals to which it can serve as home. If at any later time, you wish to assign an animal to a different building, you can pet it, and the pop-up information box that appears has a control that allows you to make the reassignment.

As soon as an animal is acquired, it must be assigned to an existing farm building of the right kind, which is designated as its home.

Animals can be assigned to a different building by first petting it and then the pop-up information box that appears has a control that allows the reassignment to be made.
Baby farm animals must first mature into adults before they are able to produce animal products. Each morning, adult animals that live in coops (chickens, ducks, rabbits and dinosaurs) have a chance of producing products that can be gathered from the floor of their building. Using the [[Milk Pail]], cows can usually be milked daily, and goats can usually be milked once every two days. Sheep can be shorn with the [[Shears]] when their wool grows in, and pigs can be let outside to dig up truffles that you can then pick up from the barnyard.

[[Marnie]] will be waiting outside your door with a dog or cat on the first sunny Wednesday or Friday morning in [[Spring]] after you earn {{price|1000}}. You must exit the [[Farmhouse]] between 6am and 9:30am to trigger this event. (If you haven't made enough money by about the 20th the event will trigger regardless.) Adopting the pet is optional (Marnie will ask if you want to keep it). You will be able to choose any name you want for your pet the moment you adopt it, though you can not change its name after adopting it (If you have not yet met Marnie when she comes with your pet, the meeting will count as an introduction).
A cutscene will trigger where [[Marnie]] will be waiting outside the farm's door with a dog or cat on the first sunny Wednesday or Friday morning in [[Spring]] after earning {{price|1000}}. The [[Farmhouse]] must be exited between 6am and 9:30am to trigger this event. By the 20th of Spring the event will trigger regardless, regardless of if the player made enough money.) Adopting the pet is optional. Any name can be chosen for the pet the moment it is adopted, though its name cannot be changed after adopting it. If the player has not yet met Marnie before this cutscene, the meeting will count as an introduction.
The pet has a maximum friendship of 1000, increasing by 12 every time it is pet. Every 200 points is equal to 1 level, and having 999 friendship points will make the player eligible for 1 point in [[Grandpa]]'s Evaluation. Click on the pet once each day to pet it. [[File:DialogueBubbleLove.png|24px]]
After reaching 1000 friendship points with the pet, the following popup message will be received: " <Animal Name> loves you ♡" Other than this message, there is no way to check friendship with the pet in-game.
There is a bowl on some wooden tiles somewhere on the farm. It is on top left area next to the house on the standard, forest, wilderness, hilltop, and riverland farm. It is on the intersection of the different sections on the four corners farm, and right above the right shore on the [[beach farm]]. It can be filled with water for the pet. Watering the pet's bowl will result in the pet's [[friendship]] increasing by 6 points by next morning. Note that this will not trigger if it is raining the next morning. On rainy days, the pet's bowl will automatically be full. If it rains before adopting a pet, the bowl will remain full until adopting a pet.

There is no mechanism for pet friendship to decrease. Ignoring the pet or using a [[Weapons#Slingshot|slingshot]] on it will not decrease friendship.
After earning 4 hearts of [[Friendship]] with the [[Wizard]], the player can enter his basement and change the style of cat or dog at [[the Shrine of Illusions]] for {{price|500}}. They cannot change from cat to dog or vice-versa.

[[File:Horse.png]]
The horse is an in-game mount that boosts movement speed by 30% (increased by drinking [[coffee]]), and doesn't slow down while riding through crops on the farm. It's obtained by purchasing the [[Stable]] from the [[Carpenter's Shop]], and can be named the first time you try riding it.

Leaving the horse somewhere will result in it waiting for the player and on their return one of these messages will be shown: "<Horse name> is wondering where you've been" or "Your loyal horse waits patiently for your return". Going to bed after leaving the horse outside [[The Farm|the farm]], will result in the horse automatically finding its way home and in the stable the next morning.
The horse can't travel through small gaps (except gates) when travelling vertically.

Animals that live in barns and coops have a friendship rating that can be seen by right-clicking the animal after petting (while holding [[hay]], you can not open this window which can be useful if you accidentally open it a lot). The rating is out of 5 hearts, is shown in half-heart increments, and is taken into account when deciding how likely that animal is to produce higher-quality products if that animal is capable of producing them in the first place.

Mood is a very important factor when determining animal product quality and type. It is only taken into account when the game rolls animal produce at the beginning of the day, and has no effect otherwise.

===Animals Trapped Outside===
===Animals Trapped Outside===
Animals that do go outside normally return to their buildings by 6pm, to sleep. Closing the barn doors again in the evening prevents them from leaving immediately in the morning to eat grass, before you have time to pet and tend them the next day. If you close the door before all the animals have returned, the ones left out over night are vulnerable to wild animal attacks.

Closing the door before all the animals have returned will result in the ones left out overnight vulnerable to wild animal attacks.
The exact conditions that cause an animal to be trapped outside are not clear. It may be more likely for an animal to be trapped outside if the player does not leave the farm after 5pm (when animals begin to return to the barn/coop) and does not enter the barn/coop after 5pm. (Leaving the farm and entering the barn/coop after 5pm both seem to cause animals to transport or spawn to the inside of the barn/coop automatically). It may also be more likely to happen if the player goes to bed before 5pm.

To obtain a Void Chicken; in a random event after you sleep, [[Random Events#The Witch|a Witch]]. will fly over one of your Chicken [[Coop]]s, leaving you with a Void Egg in the morning. Alternatively, you can purchase a Void Egg from [[Krobus]] for {{Price|5000}} in [[The Sewers]]. After you obtain the Void Egg, putting the egg into an [[Incubator]] (you must have the [[Coop|Big Coop]]) will result in the hatching of a Void Chicken.

Barn animals may become pregnant at random if the pregnancy option is enabled on their status menu. This is opened by interacting with the animal after having done so to give it affection first. An icon to the right of the menu can be toggled to allow pregnancy for that animal. If an animal becomes pregnant, during the night a message box will pop up saying an animal gave birth. The game will then prompt you to choose a name for the new animal. For pregnancy to happen you need to have upgraded to a Big Barn and have enough room for another animal.
