SPOOKY HALLOWEEN! 🎃

Halloween has arrived to Animal Shelter! 🎃



Halloween season has started and we've decided to add some spooky additions to our game for this occasion and Halloween content is now available as an update and you can download it absolutely for free! 👻



The update adds the following Halloween-themed content to the game:


    🎃 New Halloween clothes in the store for our pupils
    🎃 Spooky Halloween look in the shelter
    🎃 Devil gargoyles guarding our shelter
    🎃 Decor of the shelter

Wait wait wait, that's not all! 😎
