## What is Pet World?

Welcome to the 3D world of the Animal Rescue Sunflower! Whether they're cute hamsters or guinea pigs, sweet bunnies, playful cats or cuddly dogs: they all want to be cared for with love and adopted by the right owners. Take on lovable horses and a cute young foal, as well as lots of different farmyard animals such as cheeky goats, sheep and pigs at the Sunflower Animal Shelter! Care for fascinating reptiles like snakes and tortoises and look after other wild animals including fish, deer, hedgehogs, a sly fox, a nimble squirrel and colorful parrots! Your animals want to be loved and cared for! 


ANIMAL CARE

Many of your rescues didn't always have it easy in their lives, but luckily they at least found their way to you. After an initial examination to determine current health conditions and to establish any necessary treatment, life in the animal rescue can begin. Take care of your little friend with food and water and make sure that they always have fresh litter. When they have everything they need, pretty soon they'll feel fit as a fiddle again!


FIND A NEW HOME

Of course the animals are in the best possible hands with you, but they do eventually need a real home.  As soon as the head of the animal rescue, a grumpy professor, puts you in charge of the animal adoption process, it's your job to find the most suitable new animal owner. When you pay attention to the animal's needs and the owner's preferences, nothing can stand in the way of their happiness.


FANTASTIC 3D GRAPHICS

PetWorld 3D: My Animal Rescue" is not only a lot of fun and addictive, it's also visually pleasing. Navigate through the shelter by swiping with your finger, decorate it with beautiful accessories, or play with dogs and cats in the large outdoor enclosure! When you visit the animals you can also of course see them at close range and can observe how the hamsters clean themselves or how the bunnies hop around. You'd rather keep your rescues forever!


OTHER TYPES OF ANIMALS

In "PetWorld 3D: My Animal Rescue" you have the opportunity to take care of lots of animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs and bunnies. In addition, you can purchase in-apps, which include dogs, cats, foals, sheep, goats, pigs, turtles, birds, squirrels and reptiles thereby opening new playing options. And of course new surprises are waiting for you, based on how well you care for the animals and how often animals are successfully adopted.

So: Go to the Animal Rescue Sunflower, your new friends are waiting for you!

### 3/5 — Need help with tut

*2026-08-20, version 5.7.6*

The tut when it says to examine the rabbit with the clipboard it doesn’t let me do it. I click on it but it doesn’t let me do anything with the rabbit

### 5/5 — I love pet world

*2026-08-19, version 5.7.6*

This game is lit

### 3/5 — 楽しいけど、、

*2026-08-14*

実績ウォーターボーイはどうやって達成するの？まず水を用意されてるから水を汲みに行く必要ないし、井戸あってもタップしてもなにもできない！！たすけて！！

### 4/5 — Great game! But…

*2026-08-10, version 5.7.6*

I love this game and spend hours playing it! I love that it does not require Wi-Fi (Except to buy new animals which is a little annoying) and that you can buy new animals with coins alternatively to real money. However, I do wish there were less ads. Also, I have some suggestions! The first one is that maybe the animals could be worth more. It takes a while to save coins and one coin per animal is a bit annoying and gives no real benefit for buying new animals who should be worth more. So, Im thinking dogs and horses could be worth more and the starter animals, less! Also, the customer prompts get kind of old. Plus, with animals being worth more, customers can now have budgets! Similarly to the customer prompts, the animal’s sicknesses get a little old. Some new sicknesses like stomach aches, overweight, hangnails, etc, which leads into my last suggestion! Maybe animals could be pregnant! They would get special care and when they eventually have babies, you could name them yourself and put them for adoption in the shelter! This would add baby animals in the shelter we did  not have before like baby bunnies, Guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs, cats, etc! Devs, I hope you see this! :)

### 3/5 — Its great

*2026-08-07, version 5.7.6*

Its so good and fun. But all they need to ad is that you dont have to buy the animals.

### 4/5 — Honest opinion

*2026-08-07, version 5.7.6*

I love this game so much I just wish the prices on the new animals was a tiny bit less I want to play but with the price it gets boring

### 5/5 — I ❤️ THIS GAMMMEEEE

*2026-08-01, version 5.7.6*

It’s a great game and I luv that u can use virtual currency to buy new animals and not just have to pay in real money would definitely recommend 😁😀😆😄😃👏🙌❤️💙💜💗🖤💛💖💞💚❣️💓💘🤟💟🩷🤎🤍🩶🩵❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥☺️<3

### 5/5 — AMAZING but…

*2026-07-31, version 5.7.6*

I think the prices for the animals are quite realistic but for a game I would really appreciate it if you could lower the prices accept for that it’s amazing all the animals are adorable and I wanna hug them so much.Thank you sincerely for reading my review and have a lovely day.
Yours sincerely 
Penny

### 3/5 — PLEASE READ THIS!!!

*2026-07-22, version 5.7.6*

This game is just kinda tiring. The same thing happens with every animal, and you just get bored like after 5 or 6 days of playing. Plus, the sound sometimes does not work after adds. The dogs and stuff are so hard to get because you have to pay so much in-game coins for them, and you don’t get a lot of those without buying them. Like no way I am going to spend 4 dollars just to get a virtual dog shelter, and I barely have any coins. Okay, I know, it is really hard to make a game, but it is just really confusing but thank you for making it anyway. Just PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!

### 1/5 — GIVE EM BACK

*2026-07-19, version 5.7.6*

Yo I bought the dog, cat and lamb pack with my hard earn coins (through watching a ton of ads) and now they’re all gone. Explain that…..
