If you like management games this one is cute! The art style was right up my alley and I recommend this for cozy players.

Quite a few bugs but I still believe it's a good game, there is so much potential and I still have so much fun despite it being a fairly repetative game. The updates to fix bugs do take some time to come and sometimes new bugs rise but they do get around to fixing them. Although I do find I have to start a new save fairly often due to the bugs holding back certain parts of the game. Still a fun game with lots of potential just give it time.

I mean this game is alright, has a lot of potential but I wish it had more building options. I recently had to leave and quit because it keeps saying the dogs is in neglect because its thirsty or hungry when the dog is literally in a kennel with food and water so it would've counted against me. I hope this game updates and adds more features! And a sandbox mode if they already don't have one. Also it's glitching out the dog I pick for my companion. I am pressing one dog but it is giving me another and not letting me select the dog I would like. I hope they do something like it has cats too and other shelter animals.

Game had a few bugs, but nothing too worrying or game breaking. Very cute artstyle, the minigames to play with the dogs are so cute, and it builds things up slow enough that you don't get overwhelmed. But my biggest point of praise it to do with how the game handles end of life care for the dogs. You're given a choice when you first start a save between 'Euthanasia', and 'Send Away'. And you can change to either setting in the settings menu once you've started the game. I really appreciate that, despite the cozy and cute aesthetic, the game doesn't shy away from the realities of running a shelter like this, while also non-judgementally allowing players to opt out of needing to be a full part of that experience if it's not something they want to deal with. 10/10 game design around a sensitive subject!
