My story

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

Archie has been with SafeHart for too long. He was a favorite at Dallas Animal Services and that is why when his time came up to be put down, the volunteers searched high and low for a rescue to tag and save him. We really thought that he would be adopted pretty quickly but that has not proven to be the case. And we are scratching our heads and wondering why. He LOVES People and is a happy-go-lucky personable boy as long as you are handing out belly rubs. When spending time with you, he will shower you with kisses and he will reduce your stress 10x fold as he always wants you to play ball or hang out with him. He can be both a couch potato and or a hiking partner. The Ranch Team knows that if you win his heart, you will receive a lifetime of his love. The downside, he needs to be any only child so that he gets all of your attention. He has awesome potential and we know in our hearts that he will make a family very happy. Older Children Preferred with Archie.

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.

Adoption application

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.
