Mabinogi has a LOT of pets, and the current store selection is pretty bad at advertising that with such a limited selection. With the Pet Expedition release, and the current Pet related updates, Nexon has so far missed an opportunity(shopkeeper's sale or otherwise) for newly incentivized pet buying.
We need a re-release of many pets, some of which are for more obscure pet types that never come as free or event-related options.
Sure, we have a lot of dragons, fairies, clouds, scooters, balloon animals, sheeptuplets, horses, cats and dogs, and we even recently got a mini hamster and a regular sheep.
But there are pets we literally have not seen in OVER 10 YEARS. Some of these are pets that came as a limited option, maybe slightly better in some way, along with permanent versions when a "pack" of pets was released. All of these pets have obviously fallen out of favor as the game progressed, and with pets that have stats or abilities on the tier of bone dragons, scooters, and fairies, we had little point to look at the older, weaker, smaller inventory pets.
However with pet expeditions we have a reason to need older pets again.
So we either need new version of the rarer types, or a new sale advertising our long lost friends.
Things like discontinued hedgehogs, snakes, monkeys, foxes, mice, brooms, birds, you name it.
I hope anyone who sees this thinks up and adds their own wish for a long lost pet to return to the store. When was the last time anyone saw a Fire Dragon or a Thunderbird? How about an Antelope or a Bull?
EDIT: While you're at it you can advertise the pet categories (living, terrestrial, etc) and update the hover text for the pets so that it no longer says we can only have 150 characters + pets on an account.

P.S: I never knew that we had Hedgehog pets, well these has to come back, so cute lol. Looks like they were sold only once for a short period of time like over 10 years ago. Wow.
My ongoing complaint about fire dragons is it's the only elemental dragon without multiple (astral./constellation) versions.
