    To the Rescue! is a cute management sim in which you run a dog shelter that houses and helps dogs find their new homes. Taking care of the dogs, the building, and the finances makes for a fun and highly interactive experience.

    To The Rescue! isn’t without its flaws, but like a cute yet shy dog tucked away in a shelter kennel’s corner, it’s still worthy of any dog lover’s attention. It may have had a rocky start to life, but the developers have been hard at work tackling bugs and fixing issues, so it’s safe to say that any perceived problems will soon be a thing of the past. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and find fur-ever homes for pixelated pups, To The Rescue! just might be the most doggone fun dog shelter simulator out there.

    To The Rescue! hands you a game that gives a good simulation of what it would be to actually have your own dog shelter. The graphics are clear and simple in communication, making the game also suitable for younger audiences. While the sound is disappointing, the gameplay is pretty solid but some may find it tedious due to the repetitiveness of the game. The game’s introduction of new mechanics and skill points counters this a bit though, as it gives you something to work towards.

    To the Rescue! is a fun game, recommended for dog lovers the world over. While the difficulty settings could stand to use an improvement and there’s plenty of bugs to clean up, the optimistic atmosphere and sheer fun of taking care of a shelter full of dogs more than tips the scales in this game’s favor. That being said, where’s the cat-themed DLC?

    To The Rescue gives us an immersive experience of what goes on inside a dog shelter. Animal lovers will certainly enjoy this simulation. It also brings in challenges when it comes to time and resource management so every second will count.

    To the Rescue is a lovely idea with plenty of charm. Unfortunately, a litany of bugs and weak progression leaves the whole thing a little worse for wear. Although that adorable smile and gorgeous coat may draw you in, this old dog could have done with learning a few new tricks.
