Cozy Paws: Dog Rescue

Every stray has a story. Leave out a bowl, wait, and find out.

Cozy Paws is a gentle idle dog rescue game about earning trust — not grinding for it. Put food and a comfort item out at a quiet spot, and dogs come by on their own. Learn what each one loves, keep showing up, and one day they follow you home.

No timers you have to beat. No energy bar. Nothing to lose by putting your phone down.

RESCUE 66 DOGS, EACH THEIR OWN
From Biscuit the anxious doodle to Corduroy the world-weary hound, every dog has a name, a history, and things they secretly love. Working out who's drawn to what IS the game — read their bios, or send a scout out for hints.

EARN TRUST, DON'T BUY IT
Dogs decide when they're ready. Every visit builds a little more trust, and the moment they finally come home is one you earned.

BUILD THE SHELTER
Decorate cozy rooms with beds, blankets and chew toys. A dog in a room they love is a dog that's home — and your shelter keeps earning Kibble while you're away.

SIX PLACES TO EXPLORE
Bakery Alley, the dog park gate, a riverside boardwalk, the laundromat back door, Butcher's Row, and the long windswept path up to the lighthouse. Each painted by hand in warm cut-paper art, changing with the time of day.

THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU VISIT
- Send dogs on errands for Kibble, treasures and hints
- Cook better food in the kitchen
- Play fetch to build friendship
- Take photos of your dogs and share them
- Graduate dogs to forever homes and open a brand-new shelter, keeping every bonus you earned

FAIR BY DESIGN

A quiet game about patience, a scruffy dog who doesn't trust you yet, and the afternoon they finally do.
