Managing a whole shelter by yourself is a tough job! Good thing you’ve got the help of skilled workers that can take on some of the responsibilities. Remember – managing people is not easy either!Play with your friends in co-op with up to 6 players!
Everything is always more fun with friends! Invite your friends to work on your shelter and find the perfect homes for your animals together! Emote, interact and have fun, all the while being surrounded by beautiful scenery and cute animals.

Remember that a lot of things can impact the chance of an adoption: the animal’s traits, their current state, and even the state of the shelter itself!Maintain the shelter and enjoy its beauty!
Your shelter is located in a picturesque little town surrounded by the forest and mountains. Make sure that it fits right in among the beautiful scenery – keep it clean and upgrade its features regularly! Enjoy the view of it both during the day and at night!Meet your new furry friends
Pet them, play with them, even dress them up! The Animal Shelter is back and its residents are full of life and always eager to interact with you. Make sure that all their needs are met and that they are healthy, and they will repay you with lots of love!Screenshots

New additions and interactions to your shelter with Vet Clinic DLC:
🏥 Professional facilities
Patients with complex cases need complex tools to diagnose and treat them. Unlock new rooms and equipment to take in animals that need your care the most. Expand your vet clinic with an underground area reserved for MRI and x-ray rooms, all customizable to align with your taste. 🚑
😽 Help animals
The animals you care for may have illnesses or conditions that you have not encountered before. Use advanced medical equipment to pinpoint the exact illness that affects the animal, including the ten new ailments added. Analyze samples, scan body parts, scale teeth, apply ointments, and more in order to give your pets complete care! 🪥
🤒 Physical and mental health for your animals
Physical health, as important as it is, is not all that there is to an animal’s well-being. After purchasing a clicker in the store, you’ll be able to train your animals commands and encourage desired behaviors. Training the animals in your shelter not only stimulates their mind, but also corrects unwanted behaviors, making them more appealing to adopters. 💕
🔥 New minigames and mechanics!
The new ways to care for your animals’ health are varied and can involve fun minigames that you have to play in order to place a correct diagnosis. Train your pets’ mind and nose with the new nosework mechanic by creating scent trails that they have to follow. Encourage the traits you want and correct the ones you don’t by training with a clicker. 🐕
