The Winx temporarily worked fot Mr. Rooney, the owner of the biggest toy shop in Gardenia, and it was there that Flora found the plush anumals that she brought to life using her magic. As a reward for having well done their job Mr. Rooney offered the location of what would become the Love & Pet Shop to the Winx. The shop itself was created from an idea of Flora's to help people believe in magic ag
ain. On the first floor of the Love & Pet Shop is a lounge where the Winx live during their stay on Earth. The fairy pets are not for sale, as the Winx stated that they give the pets for adoption generously, and possibly that they get paid for their services such as taking care of sick pets and providing their customers with food or outfits for their pets. The Fairy Pets can also be downloaded through the official Winx Club website that appears in the series (but not through the real-life official Winx Club website). In the comics, the Winx got their Fairy Pets from Tecna by connecting to the website through her phone and began to download the Fairy Pets.
