I have tried the phone and the computer.... I find nothing about adopting pets on either.
When I go to make a pet...I must also make a sim with them.
I do not want to add a new sim to my current household.

You can create a pet on their own, if you go into CAS whether its a new game just to simply create the pet to start, you obviously start with the human sim.. you do as you would and create a pet, if you click back to the human sim there should be an X that appears over the top right corner if you hover your mouse over it - that will ask you if you want to delete that sim.

then create your pet as you would upload to gallery - go into the household you want to add the pet and download it back off the gallery and merge it with your household and taadaa!
