My City : Animal Shelter

Experience the rewarding world of animal rescue with My City: Animal Shelter, a heartwarming and educational addition to the My City series. This interactive digital dollhouse allows children to step into the shoes of rescue workers, veterinarians, and adoptive parents, fostering empathy and responsibility through open-ended play.

There is so much to do at the shelter! Start at the Reception Desk to welcome new arrivals, then head to the Vet Station to provide check-ups using realistic medical tools and X-ray machines. Once the animals are healthy, let them burn off energy in the Outdoor Play Park, featuring agility courses and water fountains. Finally, help families pick their perfect match in the Adoption Room. With 20 unique characters and a huge variety of animals—including dogs, cats, hamsters, and even exotic birds—the stories you can tell are endless. Like all My City games, this title connects to others, allowing you to bring your rescued pets back to your My City house or school!

5. How to Play

1. Intake: Bring a new animal into the reception area and record their details on the clipboard.

2. Medical Check: Move to the vet station to ensure the animal is healthy and give them "treat" medicine.

3. Playtime: Take the dogs and cats to the outdoor park to play with toys and exercise.

4. Styling: Visit the grooming room to wash away the "street dirt" and make the animals look their best.

5. Adoption: Invite a family character into the center and help them choose their new pet to take home.

6. How to Win: Strategy

• The Golden Treat: Look for the hidden jar in the office; finding the "Golden Treat" makes any animal do a backflip!

• Secret Lab: Tapping the posters in the vet clinic reveals a hidden door leading to a "Secret Research Lab" for exotic animals.

• Match-Maker: Placing a specific character with a matching pet (like the girl with the cat-patterned shirt and a ginger cat) triggers a "Heart" emoji animation.

7. Tips & Tricks

• Multiple Pets: You can put small animals like hamsters into the pockets of the human characters to move them between rooms easily.

• Hidden Toys: Check under the benches in the outdoor park—there are often hidden balls and frisbees buried there.

• Connect the Apps: If you have My City: Home, you can build a dedicated pet corner there for the animals you adopt from the shelter.
