My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi Y'all!! Penelope here. I just want to introduce myself. Around the ranch, they call me Peepers. I am approximately 8 years old and was surrendered by my original family because of my size. The Team from SafeHart was able to rescue me and bring all of us to the ranch but that was in February 2023, and I am still waiting for my forever family to come and find me. I would enjoy a home where I will be the only pet as others annoy me and then I do not play nice with them. BUT I absolutely love big people and respectful teenage people. I love to hang out on the couch and watch movies (All Dogs go to Heaven is one of my Favorites). I am more on the calmer side with my personality. I love to chew on my bones and am always ready for a good brushing. If I sound like I would fit in with your family, please reach out and set up a day to meet me as I always love seeing new faces.

Interested in having me join your Family?

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Https://form.jotform.com/222314529153147

2.
Interview

Phone call with applicants. Then call all references and their vet reference.

3.
Home Check

Once we complete a Zillow and review Property Tax sites, we make arrangements for home check or Facetime of the property.

4.
Meet the Pet

We are a Matchmaker then people picking a pup, so once all of the above is done, we do a Facetime with several potential dogs.

5.
Approve Application

We are very diligent in the approval process but once all of our criteria is met, we send an e-mail notifying them of adoption approval.

6.
Sign Adoption Contract

They choose the dog they want, sign the contract, pay donation and we arrange for them to pick up the dog, transport.

Additional adoption info

We are looking for the right dog to go to the right home based on the information they provide to us on their application as well as the phone interview. Since we deal with large breed dogs only, there are times when we do not have the right match and we will refer them to a partner rescue.

Go meet their pets

At the present time, we do not have a facility to have adoption events at our Texas location. We are in the process of purchasing our own property and once that is complete, we will hold adoption events. We are also dealing with large breed dogs.

More about this rescue

Animal House Project is a 501 c3 Nonprofit organization that operates several programs under our umbrella: a companion pet food pantry in the hopes to keep companion pets at home and out of shelters; a rescue pet food pantry - providing donated pet food to grass root small rescues who are struggling; low cost spay and neuter; and, a Large Breed Rescue.

The Rescue has been a passion of our Board President for many years and, in 2021, after seeing many large breed dogs being put down, the time had come to open the program. Our primary breed is Akitas, but we have also rescued Chows, Pyrenees and mixes.
