Animal Shelter 2 News

[h2]Dear Friends! 🐾[/h2]

[h3]For quite some time now, we've been mentioning on our Discord and other platforms that before the full release of Animal Shelter 2, we’d also be updating the Demo version of the game.[/h3]

Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard on this updated version - fixing and improving many elements to make sure you can fully experience the game in its compact Demo form before deciding to purchase the full version! 🛠️✨

On top of that, we’ve added a fun new feature: animals can now be a bit naughty and run away from the washing station! 😅🐕

The full list of changes is quite long, but we’ve narrowed it down to the most important updates:

Patch notes:

• Improved teleportation to and from the park
  
• Fixed occasional input block when picking up animals
  
• Fixed player synchronization during park visits
  
• Fixed occasional broken items in the inventory that blocked interaction
  
• Improved pathfinding for animals and NPCs
  
• Added grass in empty areas
  
• Improved wall painting system
  
• Fixed interaction issues after destroying an item from the player’s inventory
  
• Fixed item offset after interactions (e.g., pouring food into a bowl)
  
• Fixed lingering interaction progress circle
  
• Stabilized multiplayer connection
  
• Improved overall game performance
  
• Fixed sliding NPCs
  
• Improved animals’ reactions to toys
  
• Added feedback when an animal refuses to play
  
• Animals can now misbehave and run away from the washing station
  
• Improved lobby display in the main menu

We encourage all our players to try out the updated Demo again and see how much smoother and more enjoyable the experience has become.

And for new players who are just discovering our game - now’s the perfect time to check it out! 💚



See you soon,
Animal Shelter 2 Team

[h3]Dear Friends! 💛

With every new post and announcement, the time before the release of Animal Shelter 2 is ticking down faster and faster. There’s just one week left until this big and long-awaited event - both for you and for us! 🎉[/h3]


Over the years, through countless conversations on different platforms, we’ve gotten to know many of you almost personally! ❤️

We recognize your nicknames, your avatars and we even know what some of you like (and dislike!) 🤭

[h3]But at the same time, we wondered… do you know how many people are actually creating Animal Shelter 2? 👀[/h3]

Many of us also worked on the first part of the game, which we all grew to love together. 💚
Each of us contributed a piece of ourselves - an idea, a spark of creativity, loads of passion and hard work. And before this special release, we wanted you to know that behind this game, there are real people 🧑 Just like you!

So, we’d love to invite you to a short video inspired by one of our many crazy and chaotic team meetings!

[h3]Dear Friends! 🐾
Today is July 11, 2025, which means that yesterday our "My Pet" contest came to an end and that there are only 12 days left until the release of our game, Animal Shelter 2! 🎉[/h3]

We have to admit - the number of submissions, the beautiful stories and photos were absolutely heartwarming and made it really difficult for us to choose just 3 winners.
Some pictures melted our hearts, others made us laugh out loud - we truly wanted everyone to win! 💛



Out of all 116 photos, we selected not only 3 winners, who will receive a poster and an activation key for our game Animal Shelter 2, but we also decided to grant 15 honorable mentions.


That means that 15 additional people will receive a free key to Animal Shelter 2! 🎮🎁


🏆 We are thrilled to announce that the three players who have won the poster and the game key are 🏆:

See you soon,

[h3]The premiere of Animal Shelter 2 is in two weeks! We can't wait to show you what we have prepared for you in the full version of the game. 😊 But in the meantime... we will donate real animal shelters! And you can choose which one! 🫵[/h3]



[h3]With the premiere of Animal Shelter 2, we want to continue what we started during the premiere of the first part of the game - supporting real animal shelters around the world, which you 🫵 our players, will choose! ❤️[/h3]

[h3]🟨 AMOUNT OF DONATIONS:[/h3]
We decided to continue supporting real shelters, so we will donate a total of $10,000 (ten thousand dollars USD) to 5 animal shelters of your choice that need support.

TOP 5 shelters will receive support in the amount of $2,000 (two thousand dollars USD) each, so 5 x $2,000 = $10,000.

[h3]🟨 WHEN WILL THE SUBMISSION START AND END?[/h3]
💚 Starts - July 8, 2025 at 12:00 PM CEST
❤️ Ends - July 21, 2025 at 3:00 PM CEST

[h3]🟨 HOW CAN I SUBMIT A CHOSEN SHELTER? [/h3]

We want to keep it very transparent, so you can submit them only under this entry.

🧡 Write a comment under this entry using the template below:
a) Name of the shelter
b) Bank account number of this shelter (unfortunately we can't transfer money via PayPal)
c) Write one of these - Website/Facebook/Instagram - or all of them
d) Email address for contact
e) Write a few sentences about the shelter you have chosen

ℹ️ VERY IMPORTANT - please ensure you provide us with all the necessary details of the shelter that will allow us to verify it. If it is a small shelter, or they don't have some of the necessary information, please contact them and ask for the details, this will help us verify the shelter.

If you don't have a shelter of your choice, don't worry! You can check out the applications under this post or talk to other members on our Discord and vote together for the ones you choose. 🥰

[h3]🟨 RESULTS:[/h3]
From the shelters submitted by players, we will select the shelters that players choose most often.

The donation will be made the day before the premiere - July 22, 2025 - and the winners will be announced on the day of the premiere of Animal Shelter 2 - July 23, 2025 - in a separate entry on Steam.

[h3]We encourage you to invite your friends, share it on your social media and contact to the shelters you are submitting to increase your shelter's chance of winning! 😻[/h3]

We can't wait for the premiere! 🎊



See you soon
