“Move pets around to the dwellers that most need their bonuses”— Vault Dweller's Survival Guide

Fallout Shelter pets are domestic animals added to Fallout Shelter with the 1.4 update.

Pets are domesticated small animals, specifically cats, dogs and parrots, that confer a bonus effect on the dweller to which they are assigned. Assigned pets can be used either inside the vault or outside in the wasteland. One pet may be assigned to each single unpaired room, with two pets the maximum for double rooms and three for triple paired rooms.

Pets can be found in common form with generic breed names, rare form with generic names or a uniquely-named legendary form. The rarer the pet, the greater the bonus it confers but even pets of the same rarity may give bonuses with slightly different strengths. Pets can be found in pet carriers and are assigned to dwellers in a similar fashion to weapons and clothing.

Pets contribute a very small amount of additional damage in battle.

Pets are indestructible. If a pet's owner dies on a quest or while exploring, the pet will return home alone along with the owner's inventory, including equipped items. This makes pets especially useful in survival mode where resurrecting dwellers is not possible and quests are more difficult.

Behind the scenes[]

The description for Kabosu refers to the late dog of the same name, best known for being featured in the original Doge internet meme, despite the fact that the real Kabosu was a Shiba Inu.
The Collie dog's description refers to Lassie, a fictional female Rough Collie featured in the 1940 Eric Knight novel, Lassie Come-Home, although better known for the subsequent TV series of the same name. The description refers to the common misconception that Lassie had once saved one of the main characters, Timmy Martin, by getting help after Timmy got stuck in a well. Despite this, Lassie had never had to help anybody get out of a well.
