A New Best Friend
Dottie (pictured right) is now available for adoption from the Blizzard Store.

For the month of December 2019, 100% of the adoption proceeds will be donated evenly between two charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and WE.org.

In addition to a cute in-game battle pet there's a separate baby alpaca plushie. Proceeds from every Dottie plushie purchase up until December 31, 2019 will also be donated to the two charities noted above.

The adoption fee for Dottie (in-game battle pet) is $10 USD, while the separate toy plushie costs $29.99 USD.

Will you be making Dottie your new best friend? Adopt this little bundle of bouncy joy and help worthy charitable causes at the same time.

Don't forget to check out Dottie's adorable introduction video!

Meet Dottie, the adorable baby alpaca. When you adopt her in-game or in plushie form before December 31, you’ll be helping the @MakeAWish and @WEMovement charities aid children in need!

We've added Dottie to our database, however it may take a little time before collections are updated with this new pet. We'll continue to monitor things and update her pet profile in the near future. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

'Tis the Season... For Collecting!
Although there's no new Feast of Winter Veil battle pet this year, there are still a number of seasonal pets to collect if you haven't yet:

• Father Winter's Helper
• Tiny Snowman
• Winter Reindeer
• Winter's Little Helper
• Clockwork Rocket Bot
• Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot
• Lumpy
• Rotten Little Helper
• Grumpling
• Globe Yeti

It's been noted that the Globe Yeti spawns more frequently, so head over to Orgrimmar or Ironforge and capture one before the in-game event is over!

Winter has officially arrived in the Northern Hemisphere which means the Snowy Owl has returned to Azeroth. Head out to Winterspring to capture your very own before the season ends (March 20).

Don't forget that the Blizzard Store sale is still going on, so consider adopting one or gifting a friend/family this holiday season.

Season's Greetings
As always, a big thank you to the community for supporting WarcraftPets throughout the years. It's our ongoing privilege to provide a resource and service to all battle pet enthusiasts.

There are some mandated changes regarding Blizzard's API coming in Jaunary of next year. We'll have more information detailing what's changing and how it will impact WarcraftPets accounts soon, so stay tuned.

Warmest wishes and happy New Year. May RNG be kind to all in the coming year!
