Ubisoft supports Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month and ASPCA

Ubisoft is proud to sponsor Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month

Kids and pets are a natural fit. Children tend to demonstrate an interest in animal welfare, but healthy relationships between kids and animals don't always come naturally and can be hard work. Ubisoft is proud to sponsor "Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month" and support the ASPCA through its new Petz line of video games, which recognizes the importance of teaching kids about responsible pet care and humane treatment of animals.

Petz is a full series of pet-simulation video games for the Nintendo DS(tm) system for kids ages 6-12 that allows them to build a unique two-way relationship with their virtual pets. Kids can help their animals grow, watch as they develop personalities, experience memorable moments and share experiences with their friends.

The ASPCA will be featured in two ways starting in November. Visit petz.com to play fun free mini-games in November and show your support at the online "cause house".

Ubisoft is also releasing a new line of Petz games that will be in stores this holiday. If you buy Petz® Nursery, Petz® Dogz® Talent Show, or Petz® Hamsterz® Superstarz at Walmart, you'll get adorable trading cards with "fun facts" from the ASPCA! At participating Walmart stores, while supplies last.

A few highlights:

In Petz® Nursery, players can care for and bond with a variety of the cutest newborn animals, from puppies to polar bears. Help them growinto strong and healthy animals! (In stores Nov. 11. ESRB Rating: EVERYONE with Comic Mischief.)

In Petz® Dogz® Talent Show, kids can learn to care for their dogs, discover their personalities, and train them in a variety of fun andchallenging activities to turn them into talented Petz. (In stores Nov. 17. ESRB Rating EVERYONE with Comic Mischief.)
