My story

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

Panda's story will make you cry. In February 2024, SafeHaven Anima Rescue Team received a call from the Pennsylvania State Police regarding a Domestic Violence/Animal Cruelty call and they needed help to take two Akitas into custody. Panda was beaten repeatedly with a 2x4 wood board and chained to a fence not giving him food and water. His brother Ghost was also part of the case.

Panda healed wonderfully and was adopted by a wonderful family in Virgina in May 2024 and has been with the family since. Sadly, life has a way of changing the course of adoption and Panda is back with his Foster Dad until such time that we can find another family who will love and show him the respect that he deserves.

He is UTD on shots; Neutered; Heartworm Negative and is a proud and loyal Akita. We are looking for a family with NO Dogs or Cats and no small children. Though his current family did not have a fenced in yard, we would like to have one. He has a high prey drive.

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

4.

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.

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.

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.
