Site Update
Rudi says:
Hi! I'm holding a Winter Pet Drive, and I'd love for you to participate! If you have any unwanted pets, Santa Lunaris and I will find a great new home for them.
Click here to go to the Pet Drive!
Rules
- The Pet Drive ends 11:59 PM December 24th
- The top donator per genus will win a 50% edited custom voucher for that genus.
- Players may win a maximum of two genera. If they win more than two, they will be asked to pick two and the remaining winning pets will be defaulted to the second place winners (and so forth).
- Players may turn in site pets or customs to the drive - it's up to the player.
Enjoy!

A drive button on the pet's page would be awesome...I've already given up donating as it's too hard to memorize the pet's numbers you want to donate.

So what is happening to the pets that are donated? The description makes it sound like they'll be given away to other users, but when going to donate it says that they pet will be removed from the system. :/
I'd love to participate, but I don't want to just throw away pets that could be better served giving to players who want them.

It seems like the pet no longer exists. I was looking through my shop history of purchases donaters made and when I look up the pets ID number it says the pet does not exist. Does that mean there will be a whole bunch of unused pet ID numbers after this?

The pets will be deleted. This is a way to help clean up the server from people who have hundreds of unwanted pets. This way they can be safely deleted (while offering rewards to people who majorly help this effort) and free up some memory for the new pets (i.e. holiday lane and the new permanent adventure area that will be opening up). Aywas doesn't advertise or anything like that, so server size and all of that is purely supported by GP and Paintbrush purchases. So they do what they can to limit how much room each user uses. It's the same rationale behind making it cost money to purchase inventory and item gallery slots, as well as the TOS clause that says they can ban people who use horrifying amounts of data (30,000 pets, using an auto-refresher, that sort of thing).
To make a long story short: Yes, they will be deleted, but it goes to the benefit of the site and is a fun little contest. If you don't like it that's totally fine, run a Christmas Giveaway! Loads of people are doing it, and it's a nice thing to do during the holidays <3

it should maybe be more 'worded' like that I suppose though. I literally thought I was donating a pet that would make it to someone, someway through some other thing in December. I was confused when I saw that message saying itd be deleted, I only thought that maybe it was being put somewhere for future purpose, not to delete it entirely. : / im not arguing in the lightest, I only suggest a light tweaking of words, so others don't assume what I did <3 (no fights at this please, it was just an honest opinion I thought I give for reference not an igniter ouo)

I went and nabbed two leveled pets and donated them before I realized they were just being removed from the site so a little note on that would be nice. Not a big deal though. Also, completely support the button idea on the pet pages. That one would be awesome. A button for the Adoption Center would be great too.

I hope that no one felt that I was chastising them q.q I just thought I would help clear up some confusion.

So I know that I will have no chance of winning anything but I was curious of something. If you name the pet and put a description in, like a little note, will it remain with the pet or will it be deleted? (Sorry if this was already asked)

Awe man, i put over 300 pets in pumpkins for Halloween. That's ok though, I'm really looking forward to getting some holiday pets anyways. And rudi is soooooo cute!!!
