Hi. I may be wrong, but my program keeps telling me that there are no
solutions. It doesn't like clue # 14. Are you sure this is correct?
(14. The horse lives in the middle house.)

If I remove clue #14, I get two solutions. The only difference that I show
is only a giraffe or a elephant going into house #3 (middle house).

Hi Dana,
It seems very interesting puzzle. But I did not understand the method
you are talking about. Would love to learn more. I would certainly
like to know if someone else have already solved it on paper.
regards
Syed
