To the Rescue game partners with Petfinder Foundation
The To the Rescue game has partnered with the Petfinder Foundation in order to help support real-world animal shelters around the country.
To the Rescue is a simulation video game developed by Little Rock Games and published by Freedom Games, coming to PC and Mac via Steam, as well as the Nintendo Switch, sometime in fall 2021, and will retail for $19.99.
Twenty percent of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Petfinder Foundation, which describes itself as a public charity assisting animal shelters and rescue groups to prevent the euthanasia of adoptable pets.
Players will manage an animal shelter’s resources, aiming to find homes for adoptable dogs and build a solid reputation within their community.
“When we chose the charity partner for our game we wanted to make sure our donation would have the biggest impact possible,” Olivia Dunlap, co-founder of Little Rock Games, said in a press release. “We’re proud to partner with the Petfinder Foundation and are overjoyed that To The Rescue! will have a tangible impact both raising awareness of animal shelters and helping fund their amazing efforts.”
To the Rescue game purchases will help animal rescue efforts via donations to the Petfinder Foundation.
Dunlap was also one of the lead developers of the game, which combines hand-drawn animation with real-world problems like overcrowding and managing medical issues, in addition to the headaches that come with fundraising, as she explained in an interview with Dog O’Day recently.
On the other hand, you also get to play with puppies and help them find foster homes, in addition to knowing you found them the perfect family, so there’s a good balance between the frustrations of the daily grind and the warm fuzzy moments.
The Petfinder Foundation was established in 2003 and has given more than $20 million to in need across the US, Canada and Mexico.
Hopefully more pet-themed video game news will be revealed during the E3 convention, which will take place from Saturday, June 12 to Tuesday, June 15.
