Hello Animal Lovers! 👋


[h3]Big news! Our game has been nominated for the Sit Back and Relax award in this year’s Steam Awards 2025 - thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way!🎉[/h3]

This nomination means a lot to us, as we worked hard to make a game that would truly be something you can enjoy, relax and disappear into the gameplay of Animal Shelter 2 without any worry of the outside world! 😻



This year was really special for us, Animal Shelter 2 had its premiere just a few months ago! It was a journey full of adventures that you shared with us, without you Animal Shelter 2 wouldn’t be here thanks to your constant support and feedback after the first Animal Shelter! Without you there wouldn’t be Little Friends DLC just around the corner for you to try out!
Without you we wouldn’t be on this year’s Steam Awards! 🔥


This recognition reminds us that our passion for creating heartwarming gameplay stands with the community, and that means everything! 🐶

If you think Animal Shelter 2 deserves this award, you can vote for us now! 😊

[h3]Let's make this happen together! 💪[/h3]

Patch 1.0.35

[h3]Hello Players! 🐾
[/h3]
We’ve just released a fresh update for Animal Shelter 2, focused mainly on improvements and fixes for the co-op mode.

We know that some of you have been struggling with issues like disconnects and the dreaded blackscreen. Over the past weeks our team has been working hard to reproduce these problems on our side so we could finally track them down and deal with the root cause.

This patch should help smooth things out and (hopefully!) let you enjoy your time in the shelter with friends without those annoying interruptions.

Patch notes:

  • Fixed a lot of errors that caused disconnects or made connection attempts fail
  • Improved how connection errors are handled in the main menu
  • Properly handled connection errors when failing during game transition
  • Disconnect window now includes a button that lets you easily send us log files


If you still experience blackscreen issues or connection problems in co-op after this update, please let us know — your reports really help us track down what’s going on. 💌

We truly hope this update fixes the issues you’ve been experiencing and makes co-op a more stable and fun experience. Thanks a lot for your patience and support 💙


See you soon,
Animal Shelter 2 Team
