The set does include a very nice, stable platform table where the cat, dog, bird and hamster can be played with. There is also a snap-together "ring" where the animals can play while awaiting adoption. There are accessories for some of the animals including food and water dishes and even a pretend bag of food. As always with the Liv Doll accessory pieces, some of them are tiny and would definitely constitute a choking hazard for young children if placed in the mouth. We are expecting many hours of fun in finding homes for these cute, adoptable pets.

Four days ago my wife called to my attention the fact she had purchased a Liv Pet Adoption Play set for our niece. I replied, "great! computer interactive toys are a fun way to extend play value with the product." She replied," the set does not come with the doll, come look at this ad copy for the play set." First allow me to explain where I am coming from. I spent 25 years in the toy business for the largest, and most scrutinized company in the business. Over the years part of my responsibility was to proof ad copy for some very large retailers. The objective was to try and insure that the copy was crystal clear as to what was being sold, for what price, and what was included.I have spent the last hour looking at the Liv on line ads. The Pet Adoption Play set clearly shows the image of a Liv doll, and I sure don't see in this particular layout where it says (Liv dolls sold separately) It clearly calls it out on other available items.Then I started looking at the prices of the dolls and to my surprise they had been reduced to appx. 1/3 of the price of play sets and costumes with no doll included. This makes the entire product presentation very confusing to the everyday consumer. Play sets and accessories with no doll, for the first time user, have no play value what-so-ever. It is akin to getting that gift that requires batteries and not having them on Christmas morning. Granted, the pricing for the product is outstanding and the price/value relationship certainly is a bargain for what I hear was or is a very cool and well received product among little girls. I do however, feel the way it is presented on this site, creates confusion,and could certainly use some fine tuning from whoever is responsible for the advertising of this product line.It was very hard for me to write this because the toy business was very good to our family for years. I do however, feel that this situation,certainly was a cause of disappointment for many on Christmas morning

Christmas 2010 is right around the corner so the gift hasn't been opened but I was a bit disappointed to get the gift and there was no doll in the toy. For someone who shops online regularly may have known that the doll was not included but for a novice you would assume by the picture and the title "liv doll...." the doll is actually apart of the product. The manufacturer could have said like most "doll not included". Or maybe I should have known something was tricky when it didn't say Live doll "with" pet adoption center. Online shopping is very tricky. So for you novices like me pay attention to the wording. Now i got to go and find a doll and most of them are already sold out. Ugghh!Honest reviews on Liv Doll Pet Adoption Center
As you can see from the picture of the product, there is no doll included in the package. I am not sure I would buy a product by the title or description alone, but that is no matter since there is a picture of the product on this page.I love the Liv dolls; their playsets are wonderfully detailed and reasonably priced.
