Best practice for gaining reputation/funds

[Toreshii_Chann]

I'm trying to get my 5th reputation star and it's dragging on quite a bit.

I want to upgrade my buildings to level 3 ones but aside from the Warehouse and the Kitten & Puppy buildings, they all seem to only unlock at max rep; and I'm only just half way there!

What should I be doing to help make it less grindy? Is there a specific animal or situation that gives more reputation bonus?

Obviously, matching up animals to suitable adopters gives a bonus - but is there anything else I should be doing?

Any advice for growing the money earned from adoptions? Or is it just random?

The game is designed to be repetitive. You have to take some time to complete all the tasks :)

This takes a LONG time so be prepared. It's very repetitive and almost takes the fun out, but if it's for the purpose of 100% the game, it is what it is.

I found that caring for multiple animals is a lot of stress. I typically handle adoptions in "waves" or all in bulk. I only do puppies and kittens as it's much easier to care for them (bathing them only requires wiping with cleaning cloth and you can fit 5 in the same pen), but it is very doable with dogs and cats.

1. Adopt all puppies and kittens in bulk (I have 4 puppy/kitten cages)

2. As the puppies and kittens are dropped off by the van, I will take care of each in this order
- Transport to the clinic - they are treated then cleaned.
- Drop them off into their cages and pet them until they are completely happy
- Repeat until all dogs and cats are in cages.
Eventually, they will be happy enough to adopt out.

3. Assign each one to a new owner and send them off. There are normally lots of people asking for kittens and puppies so I just pick one and assign it to a puppy or kitten. I don't take too long looking at the traits as you get ~100 reputation for each one anyway.

4. Clean and fill up all water and bowls and prepare for the next bulk adoption.

Sometimes there are stragglers that need more time to be put up for adoption. It's almost impossible for me to do this without the "wave" method because it is a lot to juggle without a plan. You can use the time that there are no animals at the shelter to clean, organize and decompress.

Of course, if you have the Vet DLC, it is much harder to do this in a streamlined manner as getting samples and curing takes more time. In this case, I have multiple clinic tables that I will keep animals on as they are being treated and as I am taking more animals in. I would also suggest a separate group of pens that hold the sick animals as they wait for the cure cooldown.

Hope this helps!
