🐉 Happy Chinese New Year to our players celebrating around the world! 🥂
2026 marks the Year of the Horse 🐎 - so get ready for a celebration full of energy, good fortune and of course… adorable pets!
To celebrate, we’ve prepared a special Chinese New Year Event in Animal Shelter! 🥳 Just like before, event items will be marked in the shop with a special ribbon 🎀 And yes, just like last time, some items will stay with you after the event ends!
🎊 Items to pick up
🐟 Lucky Fish - for prosperity and good vibes (sadly, still doesn’t reduce cleaning duty). 🦁 Guardian Lion Statue – because your shelter deserves royal protection. 🌳 Money Tree - we can’t promise extra funds… but it looks convincing. 🐎 Horse Statue - a tribute to the Year of the Horse! Maybe it’ll inspire your pups to run faster? 🏮 Festive Lantern - because everything looks better in warm, cozy light. 🩳 Clothes for the little guys - Time to dress up your favorite pets again! 👕 🦁 Dancing Lion Hat - dramatic entrance guaranteed. 🐰 Lucky Slippers - festive and fashionable (pets may not appreciate them, but you will). 🎀 Coin Glasses - maximum prosperity style unlocked. 🧣 Decorated Shawl - perfect for those emotional “goodbye adoption day” moments.
🪑 Furniture
You might remember this one… 😏 🛒 THE CART makes its glorious return!
🎉 Map Changes
🌙 Night falls over Animal Shelter once again 😮 The rooftop won’t host a party this time - instead, it’s glowing with hanging lanterns 🏮🗞You’ll notice flying lanterns in the sky and festive posters around the shelter ✨ Garlands and traditional statues decorate the fences 🤩And yes… the gate is dressed up again
🚐 Other Changes
🎆 The van bringing animals to your shelter gets a bold, festive makeover
🤯 Keeping Event Exclusive Items
Just like in previous New Year events: Furniture and items purchased and PLACED during the ⭐event⭐ will stay in your shelter after it ends 😊
However, clothes for animals, environmental decorations, van color changes and similar festive elements will disappear after the event, so make the most of them while they’re here! 🤗
⏰ When?
The event starts 16.02.2026 and ends 25.02.2026 at 7 PM CET.
And this time… we better see your decorated shelters 👀 Share your screenshots on Discord and Steam!
See you soon, Animal Shelter Team
