Rescue Career

Rescue Directors are individual players who have selected the Rescue career as their active career at the Wasabi's Career Center. Once you have chosen the Rescue career as your active career, you will gain several features to your account that other players without this career option don't have and be listed as a "Rescue Director" on your Kennel Profile. These features allow you to accept surrendered dogs into your new Rescue tab on your Kennels page and earn money by adopting out surrendered dogs to other players or the Adoption Board.

Rescue Directors will be sent unwanted surrendered dogs from other players when they set their rescue to "open" in their Rescue tab on their Kennel Profile page. The dogs are randomly sent to a rescue with space that has their new dog intake set to "open". Rescue Directors can close new dog intake to prevent their rescues from becoming overwhelmed by setting their new dog intake to "closed". Upon the rescue dog arriving at the rescue, the Rescue Director can now care for the rescue dog as any other dog in their kennel by giving them vet care, training and showing them, and selling them to adopters, which could be other players or NPC adopters on the adoption board. However, they will not be able to breed or stud their rescue dogs or move them to other tabs in their kennel. Rescue Directors can purchase rescue dogs from themselves in order to permanently adopt the rescue dog and it will become a regular dog in their kennel.

**Special Career Features:**

* Rescues are given an additional kennel tab called the Rescue tab, which houses an additional 100 free kennel slots, where all their rescue dogs will be located. **Only** surrendered dogs can go into the Rescue tab and rescues cannot put their regular dog into this Rescue tab. If rescues want more than 100 rescue dogs, they can also allow overflow into their main kennel by "adopting" from their rescue kennels themselves to free up space and use their main kennels as a housing area for overflow rescue dogs.
* Rescues can set dogs up for sale to put them up for adoption and the rescue dogs within the Rescue tab for sale will have a special collar symbol to show other players they are a rescued dog that is ready to be adopted.
* Rescues can set their new dog intake to "open" or "closed" on their Rescue tab to prevent themselves from becoming overwhelmed with rescue dogs.
* Rescues get a kennel letter grade increase for every 10 surrendered dogs they accept into their rescue.
* Rescues get a kennel letter grade increase for every 10 rescue dogs (must be from your Rescue tab directly, not in overflow) they adopt out to other players or NPC adopters on the Adoption Board.
* Rescues get 8 extra adoption listings on the Adoption Board each day.
* Rescues are paid **$1000 Regular Bones weekly** in "donations" to keep up with the cost of their additional rescue dogs.
* Rescues have the ability to "hire staff" each day to auto-play, groom, and feed all their rescue dogs (not their regular dogs). The cost is $30 Regular Bones per rescue dog in their Rescue tab.
* Rescue dogs **cannot be bred or studded out,** but pregnant dogs can be given to a rescue. The puppies will count towards their 100 rescue kennels and then be put into rescue kennels from the whelping pens when they age out. If the game sees the mother has too many puppies and the rescue does not have enough open rescue kennels, it will give a message to the surrendering player that the rescue is too full to take their dogs.
* Rescue dogs can use vet services, be fed, played with, dressed up, given gifts in their inventory, groomed, shown, trained, given to the adoption board, sold, and used as the Rescue Director's active dog.
* Rescues can set their rescue to never adopt out rescue dogs in their Rescue tab to players below a certain kennel letter grade to ensure their dogs get homes that provide the best care.

## Surrendering Dogs To Rescues

Players can surrender dogs to rescues by using the "Surrender" button on the dog's profile to send the dog to a random rescue or they can go to a rescue's kennel profile, select their "Rescue" tab, and click on the "Surrender" button there and select the dog they wish to surrender to that rescue. However, the rescue must be open to accepting new dogs and have space to take your dog. If your dog is pregnant, the rescue must have space for the mother and all of her unborn puppies for her to be accepted into the rescue. Once your dog is surrendered, you cannot undo this action, so be sure you want to surrender your dog.

Players can give away **up to 20 dogs per month to rescues**. This limit resets on the 1st of each month. Surrendering to rescue costs **$300 Regular Bones per dog** which is given to the rescue as a rescue fee. Players **lose one kennel letter grade for every 10 dogs they surrender** to rescues. Once you surrender a dog to a rescue, you can **never regain a perfect A+ kennel grade**, as that is reserved for players who have never surrendered a dog to a rescue.
