Dalmatian in Adopt Me: Santa Dog Rename, Christmas Ultra-Rare Tips

TL;DR, bestie

  • Dalmatian is a limited Ultra-Rare from Christmas 2019 (25 Dec 2019).
  • Formerly Santa Dog.
  • Trade only now.
  • Neon/Mega supported; verify the rename in the trade window.

Dalmatian walked into Christmas 2019 as Santa Dog and left with a cleaner name and the same spotted swagger. Spots never go out of style; scams do.

How to get Dalmatian

Christmas 2019 purchase is over. Trade in the official window. Read the pet name carefully — older players still type Santa Dog in chat, but the inventory label is Dalmatian.
