(Ubisoft)To add animals to your Hideout, head to the Hiroma and approach the bench to access the customization menu. Enter 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, and you'll be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout. Select an open grid on the map to place your new companion. Remember, animals will roam freely once you're back in game mode, so they might not always be in the same spot when you want to interact with them.
