To The Rescue! Surprises Steam, Jumps Into Loving Arms of Players Early

To The Rescue!, a heartfelt dog shelter management simulator from developer Little Rock Games and publisher Freedom Games, is up for adoption today ahead of its scheduled release later this week. 20% of the developer's earnings will be donated to The Petfinder Foundation to support real-world animal shelters.

Manage a bustling animal shelter and help some stray pups find their forever homes, and take care of the inner workings of the shelter whilst maintaining a warm and friendly environment for potential adopters. Ensure each pup and person are a perfect pairing with a choice of four dog sizes, seven different breeds, and 29 dog varieties with various individual personality traits. It might take an army of dedicated workers to keep this thankless task going, but those cute, fuzzy faces are more than worth it!

Balance feeding, grooming, and exercise schedules (in between all the belly rubs) to make sure everyone's health is in top shape. Manage and upgrade facilities, hire staff, secure additional funding, and replenish essential stock on a tight budget. But most importantly of all, keep in good standing with the local community to become the heart and soul of the town!

"We are 'unleashing' To The Rescue! early to delight sim fans and dog people everywhere!" said Olivia Dunlap, co-founder of Little Rock Games. "We are delighted to not only pay respect to shelter volunteers around the world; but also bring meaningful awareness to their work through this game as well as assist in raising funds by donating a portion of our team's proceeds."

A Tiltify campaign has been launched to allow anyone to take part and help in raising funds for The Petfinder Foundation. To The Rescue! is available now on Windows PC and Mac via Steam.
