How does a pet from another realm get to me? 

Simple! Now that pets are account wide, the person with the pet simply creates a character of your faction on your realm, cages the pet and sends it to you.

What's the catch? 

There is none! Many of us are sitting on duplicate pets. While you can sell some of them on the auction house, even level them yourself before selling them, this is a different approach to getting rid of your extra pets. A way to contribute to someone who's into the same aspect of the game as you. A way to spread some goodwill. :)

How do we request a specific level/rarity/breed?
Currently there is no way to do this, especially since our pet offerings limited. Also, there's the web functionality side of things. It's not pretty right now.

How can I help the Warcraft Pet Exchange?

Is there a 'wanted to buy' section?

Currently none, but it's on the table.

How do I list a pet?

1. Provide the pet name, quality and quantity if applicable, and the name a character, realm and faction we can contact you on either via tweet or via a comment anywhere on this blog. Your pet will be added to our listings.

2. Once there is an interest in your pet, we will contact you via Twitter or in-game and provide you with the recipient's character name, realm and faction. It is then up to you complete the transaction by rolling a character on their realm, if need be, caging the pet and then traveling to the nearest mailbox to mail it to them.

3. Once the transaction has been completed, please notify us so we can update our listings.

How do I claim a pet?

1. Provide the pet's name, your character name, realm and faction where you'd like it sent.

2. You may claim a pet only if you do not own one.

3. In claiming a pet, you promise you are claiming the pet for your own collection and not to sell for a profit. Let's keep this site light-hearted and not take advantage of the generosity of the community here.
