The Community is composed of everyone who plays Pet Shop Story. You can help members of the Community by visiting their shops or writing an encouraging comment on their walls. To find members of the Community, open the Social page from the Main Menu and tap the Community tab. From here you can view a list of several Community members and go to their shops by tapping the Visit button.
Playing with pets while you are visiting their shop will grant them bonus experience and coins and will increase your Social Rating. Your Social Rating is displayed at the bottom of the shop you are visiting and can range from 0 hearts to a full 4 hearts. A higher Social Rating increases your chances of appearing at the top of the Community list when other players are looking for a shop to visit. Keep in mind that you can only play with a limited number of pets at each shop you visit per day, so if you want to get a Social Rating of 4, you will need to help several Community members or Neighbors (explained in the Playing With Friends section).
