My personality

My story

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

Ready for Adoption. Gorgeous 4-year old male Akita, up to date on vaccines, neutered, attended a board and train (knows commands) and has never had any issues. Hiro takes treats sweetly, good with leash & muzzle. Hiro enjoys walks and exploring outside and is a very loving dog. He is a typical Akita and is wary of strangers but will warm up with time. He is not good with other male dogs or small dogs but might be okay with another female his size as he lived with a female border collie. He has had issues in the past of food aggression over bones so he is fed in kennel/crate. No small children.

Hiro needs a breed specific adopter and at a minimum a 6' fence. This is not a dog park dog.

Interested in adding him to your family.

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.
