After unlocking the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players have the exciting opportunity to personalize their space, including adding pets and other animals for companionship. Here's a detailed guide on how to add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Unlocking animals for your Hideout is a delightful part of your journey in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. Each time Naoe or Yasuke interacts with a new breed of cat or dog, you unlock that specific animal for your Hideout. The game features a variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens that can join your League, including the 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 that you might encounter in the wild. Documenting these animals not only adds to your collection but also allows you to bring them into your Hideout.

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, adding a rustic touch to your space.

How to Add Animals to the Hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

(Ubisoft) To start customizing your Hideout, head into the Hiroma and approach the bench to access the improvement options. Once in the customization menu, switch to build mode and navigate to the wolf icon on the far right. This section lists all the animal types you've unlocked, categorized into dogs, cats, and "other."

Choose the animal you wish to add to your Hideout. You'll then be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout, where you can select an open grid on the map to place your new companion. Remember, animals will roam freely once you return to game mode, so they might not always be in the same spot when you're looking for a cuddle.

You can add multiple instances of the same animal, except for the special pup from “Thrown to the Dogs.” However, there's a limit to the total number of animals you can have at once. Feel free to remove or replace animals at any time by using the erase/remove function in build mode and adding new ones.

That’s how you can add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, enhancing your personal space with furry and feathered friends.
