A New Rescue Animal Game Launched Today<\/h1>

Montr\u00e9al, August 24, 2023<\/strong> – <\/span>Today, the famous actor Jean-Claude Van Damme and France-based AwareCorp Studios, in partnership with the Montreal SPCA, announced the release of VAN DAMME \u2013 Dawn of the Chihuahuas<\/a>, a new game for mobile devices.<\/p>

In this adventure game, you must rescue dogs from the clutches of an evil alien by bringing them to an animal shelter, which is a doggy theme park!<\/p>

But that\u2019s not all! By simply playing Dawn of the Chihuahuas, gamers raise funds that will be donated to various animal rescue organizations around the world.
<\/span><\/p>

In Canada, the Montreal SPCA will receive these funds!<\/h2>

This innovative way of raising funds for our organization is the result of over a year\u2019s collaboration between the Montreal SPCA<\/strong>, AwareCorp Studios<\/strong> and Jean-Claude Van Damme<\/strong>. The game\u2019s amusement-park-like animal shelter was even inspired by what the designer saw during their visit to the Montreal SPCA, wandering through our maze of ramps, floors and animal areas!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI\u2019m delighted to be taking part in this fantastic adventure game,\u201d <\/strong>says Jean-Claude Van Damme, \u201cand to be supporting animal welfare, a cause close to my heart<\/strong>. I\u2019ve always been a dog lover and I\u2019m determined to help abandoned animals who need a second chance<\/strong>. Lola and I are delighted to be contributing to the success of a game that will not only entertain, but also make a real difference to thousands of vulnerable animals<\/strong>.\u201d<\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
