To The Rescue! is a dog shelter sim where you are responsible for taking care of cute dogs in need of homes. It's not all cuddles: running a shelter is a lot of work. You have to manage all of the dogs' needs in order to maximize their chances of finding the right forever homes. Each day brings new challenges and rewards. Dogs have specific preferences, can get infectious diseases, and can have negative traits. But you can also hold fundraisers, get random donations, and, if you work hard, help someone find their new best friend. Unfortunately, there's never enough room, and always more dogs.
