Once you get the taming quests from your hunter trainer at level 10, you will understand better what pets you can get, how to tame, etc. Any creature marked Beast is tamable. That is, all those animals you see about that you've been killing for quests, you can tame. There isn't one particular spot you go, or one particular person you 'buy' your pet from. You just go out into the wilds and use your taming ability. The only stipulation is as Stigg said, I believe, in that it needs to be your level or lower.
You could even attempt to tame an Elite pet (and many have).
Most likely, your first pet will be one in the area you're in. If you're a dwarf, then you'll have the choice between Boar, Wolf or Snow Leopard. In the Night Elf area, your choices are Screech Owls, Spiders or Sabercats.
But you're not limited to them though. You can run to any zone and attempt to get a different pet if you wanted. You want a pet that's close to your level, however, as they too gain experience and 'level' as you do, so unless you want to spend time leveling your pet, you want one that's already of near equal level as you are.
You can also have multiple pets, up to three, I believe, though you can only use one at a time. You can place your current pet in the care of a Stablemaster (usually found outside inns), and go tame another pet to use. Many do this because you can learn new pet skills from different types of beasts, and then train your main pet that skill. Just remember that a stabled pet gains no experience.
Most of this I gleaned from the petopia site (and no, not the pet retail store chain
). One thing to be aware of is that they talk alot about pet attack speed, which in one of the latest patches has been 'normalized', in that they all pets, once tames, have an attack speed of 2.0 now.
Aaaaaand ... that's about all I know about hunters ... if you want more specific information, you can have a look in the Hunter class forum here.
But whatever you choose, remember the most important thing ... have fun!
