Go to the game
A way into the pet world
The games are entertainment first. Along the way they introduce how dogs and cats play, learn, and live with people, so a shelter animal is someone you already know a little.
Welcome to the village
Mutt N Moxie
Dogs and cats share a painted village, and the village has a job outside the game. Play because it is fun. A share of the $5 Supporter plan, and of anything bought in the shop, is for a real shelter.

$5
a month, 20% to a shelter
Play here. Stand with a real shelter.
The games are the welcome. The reason for the village is the dogs and cats in real shelters, and the people looking after them.
$5 a month, named for a shelter
The Supporter plan is $5 a month. Twenty percent of that, and twenty percent of what you spend in the shop, is for the shelter you chose when you came in.
Where this is headed
More of the pet world to play, a clearer picture of what shelters are up against, and that share of every plan and purchase arriving where the animals actually are.
Five games, one green
The lobby keeps dogs and cats on the same street. Pick a door.
Fetch
Dog
Burst the piñata, gather what falls
Pull back, let go, then send the dog after everything that spills into the grass.
How it plays
Run
Dog
Endless dash through the woods
One dog, one track, no finish line. Jump the hazards and see how far the trail goes.
How it plays
Pride Tower
Cat
Climb, and collect the beetles
A side-on climb. Take the jumps carefully and pick up every beetle on the way up.
How it plays
A Cat About Town
Cat
Wander the village as a cat
No score and no clock. Roam, get underfoot, and see what there is to knock over.
How it plays
Treat Match
Dog
Swap the treats, clear the bowl
Line up three. Clear the goals before the moves run out.
How it playsA few things worth knowing
Some of these come from the village. Some come from real dogs and cats.
From the village
The shop answers to the animal
Come in as a dog and the shelves hold raincoats and ball launchers. Come in as a cat and they hold window hammocks and a laser that runs the ceiling while you are out.
From the village
Thirty-six stickers, then a Rescue
Treat Match keeps an album of six pages. Finish the Town page and the prize is a Rescue, not another trophy for the shelf.
From the yard
A nose print is a signature
A dog's nose print is unique, the way a fingerprint is. The wet surface helps catch the chemicals that make a scent.
From the yard
Purrs sit in a low band
A house cat's purr usually falls between about 25 and 150 Hz. Most cats also sleep 12 to 16 hours of the day, in short stretches.
From the shelves
The shop is stocked in the game's own words. Prices are the village's, paid in coins from play.
