Bobo
Bobo is an adoptable Black Shiba Inu in Starsand Island. This friendly dog patrols near Marlo's Morning Delights in Starsand Town, making it one of the easiest pets to visit on a daily basis. Bobo is one of 11 adoptable pets in the game, alongside the non-adoptable panda Booboo at Cloudrest Lake.

How to Adopt
Bobo follows the standard wild-pet taming process. Daily visits and consistent feeding with the favorite food will reach Affection Level 3 in roughly 10 to 15 in-game days.
Step 1. Find Bobo near Marlo's Morning Delights in Starsand Town. If Bobo is not visible, open the map (M), select the Residents tab, and scroll to the bottom of the resident list to track its current position.
Step 2. Greet and pet Bobo to start the daily interaction. Each pet/greet adds +5 affection.
Step 3. Feed a Celeste Berry (favorite, +15 affection) for the fastest progress. Liked foods like Basic Carnivore Pet Food or Meat give +10. You can feed each pet only once per day.
Step 4. Repeat daily for 10 to 15 in-game days. Once Affection Level 3 is reached, the Adopt option appears in the interaction menu.
Step 5. Place a Pet House on your property before selecting Adopt. The Pet House blueprint is sold by Stella at Woof and Wow Pets for 100 Coins, or comes free with the first shop pet purchase.
Affection Points Per Day

Feed Basic Carnivore Pet Food (liked) | +10 | Once per day |
Feed Meat (liked) | +10 | Once per day |
Pet or greet | +5 | Once per day |
Neglect (no interaction 3+ days) | -5 per day | Automatic |
Sourcing Celeste Berries
Celeste Berries are foraged from berry bushes scattered across the island. They cannot be farmed at the time of writing and must be picked up during exploration. Keep a small stockpile in your inventory or storage chest so you never miss a daily feeding.
Forage routes. Sweep berry bushes during your normal travel routes (commute to and from town, walks to Green Meadow, paths around Hopeland) rather than dedicated trips.
Stack with other foraging. Berries often appear near the same routes that yield mushrooms and herbs, so combining foraging passes is efficient.
Fallback to liked foods. If your Celeste Berry stockpile runs out, Basic Carnivore Pet Food (sold by Stella) or any meat (Beef, Pork, Mutton, Fowl) gives +10 affection so daily progress does not stall.
Post-Adoption Care
Once adopted, Bobo lives at the Pet House on your property. Place a Pet Food Bowl nearby and keep it stocked. Bobo will eat from the bowl on its own schedule. Pets do not produce items or perform farm tasks; they are companion animals only.
Continue feeding. Affection levels 4 and 5 unlock additional emotes and interaction options. Daily feeding continues to add affection beyond Level 3.
Outfits. Stella sells cosmetic dog outfits at Woof and Wow Pets (Doggy Hat, Bamboo Copter Hat, Duckling Hat). Outfits persist across save and load cycles.
Multiple pets. You can adopt all 11 pets simultaneously. Each one needs its own Pet House.
Achievements
Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
Fluffy Life | Adopt 1 pet |
Fluffy Addiction | Adopt 3 pets |
Fluffy Recluse | Adopt 6 pets |
Bobo counts toward all three pet-adoption achievements once you complete the adoption. Wild pets that you have only fed (not yet adopted) do not count.
Tips
Build into town errands. Marlo's Morning Delights is a high-traffic spot. Visit while picking up breakfast, selling at Zerine's, or checking the Bulletin Board.
Always use the favorite food. Switching from Meat (+10) to Celeste Berry (+15) cuts the adoption timeline by roughly a third.
Track Bobo on the map. If Bobo wanders, the Residents tab on the map menu pinpoints the exact current location.
Bobo bug history. Earlier in Early Access, some players reported Bobo could not be interacted with. The 0.4.x branch addressed adoption-flow issues across multiple pets; if you still cannot interact with Bobo, update to the latest patch and check the Update History article for fix notes.
