After unlocking the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players can personalize their space by adding pets and other animals for companionship. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to add animals to your Hideout, enhancing your gaming experience.
How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To unlock animals for your Hideout, interact with different breeds of cats and dogs using Naoe or Yasuke. Each new breed you encounter and pet will become available for your Hideout. You can find various dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens throughout the game, including the special stray from the pre-order DLC quest “Thrown to the Dogs.”
Yasuke has a unique way to unlock smaller animals by painting them. This includes rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys, which you can then add to your Hideout after documenting them in the wild.
For those interested in farm life, vendors across Japan offer the chance to purchase farm animals like oxen and goats for varying amounts of mon.

How to Add Animals to the Hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Choose the animal you wish to add, and you'll be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout. Here, you can select an open grid on the map to place your chosen animal. Remember, animals will roam freely once you exit build mode, so they might not stay in the exact spot you placed them.
You can add multiple instances of the same animal, including the pup from “Thrown to the Dogs.” However, the game sets a limit on the total number of animals you can have, so plan your menagerie wisely. Animals can be removed or replaced at any time by erasing them in build mode and adding new ones.
That’s everything you need to know about adding animals to your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
