Quite a few pets in WoW The War Within can be purchased, if you have the right currency. If you’ve got a stock of Polished Pet Charms, e.g., from battle pet quests, you can pick up several of these. A few require high ranks in renown with the various factions, alongside their currency cost. These are, at least, always going to be around. Once you have the cost/requirement, you can easily pick them up.

All entries are Name, Location (City) if necessary, Cost/Coordinates/Enemy.
