Or "это его/её/их дом" - those are genitive. English is the same way, except 
that the genitive of "I, thou, we, you" is missing, rather than present but 
not used as a possessive, as in Russian. "His" and "their" are genitives (I 
had to look "their" up); the rest are possessive adjectives.

I looked up "house" (verb) on Wiktionary and found "помещать". Could it or 
some other sort of "мещать" be used in "this houses a dog"?
