A while back my daughter rented a DS game that involved being some sort of animal rescuer in the outback (and it was not “Go! Diego! Go!” related). You worked in an office, and got calls to drive out to find wounded or sick animals, and you could earn money toward building habitats and such for rehabilitating animals.
I can’t remember the name! And I want to get it for her. I have done searches but the number of pet/vetrinary related DS games is big enough that the signal to noise is too high for me.
One of the Pet Vets, maybe? They have Australian Adventures and Down Under, though they may be the same game. I can’t actually go to game sites here at work so I can’t tell.
