~Zambarau (Zam-Bar-oo)
Prefers to be called Zam or Roo though
Zambarau is the Swahili word for Purple, which is pretty apt

Gender;
~ Male, despite his feminine colourations, he is a little boy

What pup you're trying for;
~If you haven't guessed already, the little purple boy

Why couldn't this pup be taken care of?;
~ Zam, even when he was first born, was severely reserved and seemed detached from everything and everyone... He didn't cry when he was first born, didnt smile at his parents, or snuggle close like other pups did... He just laid there, lost in his own world, ignoring everyone else... As he grew older, his reservation grew worse... He didn't talk to anyone, didnt seem to have any sort of emotional reaction to anything at all... At first his parents were fine with dealing with it, but as Zam grew older, they realised that their son was never going to change...
They weren't ready to deal with the burden of a child who didnt care about anything at all... So they left him in the middle of the night... The following morning was the first time Zam was ever scared, waking up alone... he cried for his parents...

Purple <3

Why couldn't this pup be taken care of?;

Lavandula's life started out like any other, born to loving parents, happy to have a little bundle of joy in their lives to share their love with. As a tiny pup, her parents were delighted by the sweet scent her pain emitted, a faint scent like flowers, which gave her her name. As she grew that scent would become stronger whenever she was upset, and the stronger scent brought with it other effects. First it would just make those around her drowsy. If she became more upset, the scent would become stronger, and it those around would start to fall asleep. Her parents worried about what the pup might get into if she put them both to sleep, but it never seemed like such a terrible problem, not at first.

Then one day another pup ruined a painting she was making, which in turn made Lavandula incredibly upset. The scent emitted by her paint became overpowering, and the pup that had ruined her painting fell into a coma that lasted several days. Though the pup would eventually awaken, it wouldn't be until after Lavandula's frightened parents abandoned her in the mountains one night while she slept, far away from civilization, so she couldn't hurt anyone else. They cried at the loss, they loved their pup, but they didn't know what else they could do. They couldn't let the same thing happen to anyone else. When Lavandula woke, she was all alone, and her scent pervaded the area in her fear and sorrow, birds dropping from the sky as it affected them.

USERNAME ♢ Hi there, I'm Satiine, but feel free to call me… anything you want, really.
NAME ♢ Brazil was the name chosen for this pup when she was born. Her parents had met while working on a research project in that country.
GENDER ♢ ♀ Female.
WHICH PUP ♢ I'm trying out for the green beauty by Tacocat. All the other pups were absolutely adorable, but green in particular caught my eye - and my heart.
WHY SHE WAS ABANDONED ♢ ❝Make it stop now! Or else!❞ ❝I-I can't!❞ At a very young age, Brazil had an amazing talent for cultivating any living things. At first, her parents were pleased, but within a few months, everything that Brazil touched became recklessly wild. Sunflowers towered 8 feet tall, peas twisted their way around oak trees whose leaves were bigger than dinner plates. They became fearful and angry, but still held on to Brazil until the day she touched a butterfly cocoon and it instantly became a vibrant sparrow. Brazil would remember that day for the rest of her life. They never said anything to her, just drove far, far away, handed her a small sack of food, and left. Forever. She never saw them again.

I'm going to go ahead and declare the winner of the green babe <3
Congrats!

I am trying out for the handsome fellow with the blue markings.

Why couldn't this pup be taken care of?; / Short Story On Why;

Abandonment. The thought in itself is a terrifying for a small pup. But unfortunately, through simple fate or perhaps bad luck, it happened for Tartarus - though unlike what he thinks, it wasn't his fault. His parents were in fact, afraid. Afraid for both his and their own safety. Tartarus was not aggressive or violent, far from it in fact. When he was born, he was considered a healthy male pup, no problems seen in any sort of way. They loved him and his siblings dearly, and never imagined anything happening to them or their new pup. But slowly as he grew and developed they noticed something about his personality.

Taratarus, even at a young age, was very energetic in personality. He would constantly run around, outside or inside, never seeming to stop unless forced to. He would try to weave between peoples feet and legs, which in one incident actually caused injury to a adult who was visiting his parents. This energetic trait of his seemed to be unstoppable, and slowly it started to become quiet destructive. Everything he touched seem to break. Potted plants, family heirlooms, a plate he held while waiting for dinner. Anything he touched or held seemed to get damaged one way or another, it was as if he was cursed. Nothing was ever done on purpose, Tartarus seeing all these things happen became very distressed when anything broke, but that never seemed to stop his parents from punishing him for these accidents. His parents grew very paranoid with him, constantly watching him and never trusting him for a second. They even bought a child leash for when they had to go out of the house with him. They grew very worried is not exhausted with Tartarus, but the final straw that broke the camels back was when this destructive "curse" so to speak began to work on other people too. This, unfortunately, also included Tartarus. They found this out that hard way on a family vacation, and on this same day his parents decided they no longer wanted to be his parents.

The started off well. Tartarus was controlling himself well that day and hadn't caused any sort of "accidents" for the entire day. He was on his best of behavior and allowed his parents to let their guard down for the day. The sun was shining and the day was great, but at the end of the day things changed drastically. Tartarus and his parents went to a nearby amusement park before they needed to start getting ready to go back home. Their small vacation was wonderful, what a perfect was to finish it? Oh how wrong they were, because as soon as they entered into the park it was only a matter of minutes to where Tartarus seemed to explode with energy. Even the child leash couldn't control him. Several times he accidentally caused his parents to fall while he was running around their legs. Halfway through the park both parents and Tartarus had bloodied legs from different falls. Though everything was only minor, this made Tartarus' parents snap mentally. As calmly as they could, without a word they let Tartarus off the child leash and gave him a few dollars. His mother quietly told him to buy them some popcorn from a nearby food stand and to meet them back there. Eager to show his parents that he had been a good boy all day (or at least in his young mind), and ran as fast as his little puppy leg could carry him to buy the popcorn. But when he came back, they were gone. He searched frantically and eventually his panic stricken cries got many of the parks guards help. But still, even with their help his parents couldn't be found. After a investigation security camera found his parents running and driving away once the pup went to get the food. Quickly afterwards they had signed release forms and made it so that legally they were no longer his guardians and parents.

Personality:

Tartarus as a child was energetic, hyper, destructive, and has no clue on how to control himself or not to break anything. He would only seem to rest was at night when he was asleep, and sometimes in order to sleep he required low dose sedatives to calm him down. He was well known for getting hurt and to accidentally get other people hurt as well because of these hyperactive traits. He never meant to get anyone hurt or to break things, and he constantly became upset and afraid of punishment when a accident accrued. This was so bad it drove his parents mad and as a young child, they abandoned him during a family vacation.

But with proper guidance, time, and a lot of patients, Tartarus learned to control the bad behaviors and in return became more relaxed and less destructive. As he grows he will become more confidant in himself, learn to love hobbies, and watch the destructiveness disappear. He loves any sort of sport involving water and loves to run and swim at the beach.
