Pound of Hope [CLOSED PERMANENTLY]

[Spotty]

Just thought I'd mention something about the doggy in P103 as many has mentioned that the markings are tiger like.

Its colours and facial/chest markings are inspiered by one of my favourite animals, the asian golden cat which pretty much is my favourite feline. So, don't get too impressed by the markings, they look somewhat like that in real life, I just interpreted them on a doggy base and added my own touch.

Spotty out^^'.

History/Background: I remember squinting as I looked up and the blinding lights shone in my eyes from above me. My life at this place seemed like a dream almost, but I can remember everything so clearly. I was held like a prisioner in the lab, I've been there from as long as I can remember, I was a helpless little pup when they captured me. I wasn't the only resident there, there were many more wolves in the cages surrounding mine. The humans there are trying to figure out why I have unnatural colors along with the other wolves there and why they are interested in them too, but we wanted to be free, to live life like the all of the wolves that lived in the wild. The first few times the humans came to take me out of my cage, I let them without struggle, I thought they would let me go free out in the fresh air and escape. I felt a great hatred for these humans, but my strong desire for freedom overcame it for a while. Each time, they just took a sample of my fur, a blood test, and everything like that. I decided to be stubborn against these humans now since it was worthless to take me out of my cage unless they were letting me go. I was fed up with being confined to this place, and the thought of being here for life disgusted me. In a few days, I started conversing with the others around and near my cage. I told them that I think we should escape, at first they didn't believe that we could pull it off without getting caught, but the more we thought and talked about it, the more we desired to make it possible, and we were. I was one of the ones to mark down the plan and pull everyone's thoughts together to make it work. There was nothing in the cages to use but our sharp claws and the shiny metal floor, it would have to do.

Oh wow, those are stunning felines. :D <3 [And they look brilliant in the form of P103 as well. ~]

In response to the poll, I chose the first option. Some additional kennels would be good, and I like the idea of creating a 'highlight spot' to help some of the older characters find homes. c:
There are some gorgeous characters available that have been here for much too long.

Kennel number: P104
Name: Xantia (zan-tee-a)
Breed: Northwestern Wolf
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
I want Xantia for many reasons.One reason,is she has a design to die for.It speaks to me and says "Outgoing,caring,fun-loving,and crazy." It reminds me,of me.It is also vibrant,and I love how the purple calmly fades into black and then the cyan brings out fun and crazy in her personality.She also has blue claws which for some reason I have a strong liking to.Most of the CS furries have just plain old claws but the cyan on her claws just look spectacular.I love how her design does not use many colors but they all end up looking perfectly.I also want her so that I could order art of her!I can think of six places already that I could order art from because she would look amazing in those styles.Another reason I want her is so I could write about her.I'm not a big role-player,but she looks perfect to write a story about.It would be easy because by her design you see her personality so well,it would help writing about her.
Personality:
Xantia is wild and strong willed,prefers being in the outdoors than inside also.Inside she feels trapped and panics.She can be somewhat strict at times,but when she is too serious she will burst out in a laugh.Xantia is fun-loving and loves to go to the beach.Her favorite place to go to is the mall to shop with her friends.Her second favorite thing to do is go to parties.If she tried,her and her friends could dance all night long.Her favorite weather is heavy rain.Most of her kind does not like rain gut she loves to dance in it and just splash around in puddles.Xantia is an animal lover and thinks life is too important to be thrown away.This causes her to be a vegetarian,she hates to think an animal died just to satisfy her hunger.Her favorite food ever is cherries!She can't get enough of them.She always has to have some cherries in her house or else.

History/Background:

******☼******
Xantia awoke to her alarm clock in the morning for for school.She was 16 in high school.She got dressed and brushed her fur,then ran downstairs to get breakfast.Her mom had made her toast.Xantia got the toast and a few cherries.Then went to her bus stop,where her friends were waiting.When the bus arrived,they hopped on and sat in the back with all her friends.Xantia was not looking forward to going to school that day,but at least it was a Friday.Her and her friends talked the whole bus ride home about who would have the next party this weekend.The bus finally stopped at Xantia and her group walked off the bus and into school.All their lockers were close together,so they could see each other often.Xantia said her good-byes and headed of to class.When all her classes were finally over,she got on the bus and talked to her friends again.When Xantia got off,she walk up her long driveway into her house.She said "Hi" to her parents befor running upstairs to her room.First,she watchd E!news for awhile until her friend called.She said the she could spend the night and if her parents allowed her,they could throw a small party.Xantia covered the phone and yelled "Dad,can I go to Bianca's house?" "ask your mother,he replied. Her mom already over heard from her room and said "Okay,but your report card better be good."

******☾******
It was about 8:30 when Xantia arrived,Bianca's house was not too far so she had just walked."My parents said I could throw a small pool party!" Bianca said as she happily squealed."Oh darn I didn't bring a bathing suit!"Xantia exclaimed."Can I barrow one of yours?""Sure." Bianca said.They charged in her room to get their bathing suits and called all their friends.Within minuets there waas knocks on the door."I'll get it,mom!" Bianca yelled as she ran to greet her friends at the door.All in a group they went in the back yard to get in the pool.Due to the darkness outside,Bianca turned on the pool light that changed colors to illuminate the pool.Xantia went in to get the cooler they had set up with ice cold drinks inside it.She put it outside by the table before jumping in the pool.She swam to the very bottom of the pool and grabbed a pair of goggles that must have been dropped.She put them on and swam around underwater.Once she got tired,she came up and talked to her friends.Bianca said that someone was being rude to her in school."I have her number!"Grace explained."Should we prank call her or what?"Xantia asked with a grin.Grace got out of the water,dried her paws then got her phone out of her purse.Like little kids,they were about to prank call.Everyone got out of the pool as Grace dialed the number.They all hushed their snickers as "Hello?" came from the phone. In a low,deep voice Grace said "This is Bob and you hit our cat so I'm suing you" "You can't prove that was me!" She said in her snotty voice. "Well it was a show cat and you owe me $9,000"Grace replied,holding back laughter.The girl on the phone started to fake cry and in a sad voice she said "I'm so sorry about you cat I hope she-" They all cat her off and said "Just kidding!" and hung up.After all their giggles,and got back in the pool and started to chat again.Soon,it got too late and dark so Bianca's parents came out and put the get-togeter to an end.They said there goodbyes and headed home.Xantia took a shower and got on the top bunk of Bianca's bed as Bianca got on the bottom."Do you ever plan on getting a more...erm..'grown-up' bed?"Xantia asked as she got under the pikachu sheets."I'm still begging my dad she said"Then they trailed off into sleep.

******☼******
That morning,they woke up late at 9:00am.Xantia got up,yawned,and then did her stretches on the floor.Whan she got up,"What do you want to do this morning?" "I dunno." Bianca said,still half asleep."Well,lets go downstairs,get some breakfast,and then we'll think then." She said,dragging Bianca off the bed.Once Bianca was finally off the bed,they went downstairs into the kitchen and got some Pop Tarts.Bianca went on facebook as Xantia watched.On facebook,one of their friends Sarah recommended a ghost video on youtube,that was supposedly real.Bianca clicked on it.It was about a group of friends that got an Ouija board and talked to a spirit.It kept saying "Die" and then the board just randomly caught fire."We should get one of those"Bianca said once the video ended."They have them at Target but I don't know...they look kind of creepy." "They look like fun!"She replied.So they got in Bianca's Jeep and drove to Target.In the board games section they found one for $20 and bought it.They did like in the video,turned off the lights,lit candles and waited ten minuets.They each put two paws on."Are there any spirits here?"Xantia asked,trembling.At first it didn't really move until about a minuet it slowly moved to "yes" and back to the middle."Stopped moving it,Bianca!"Xantia yelled,scared out of her wits."I swear,I am not moving it!" "Whats your name?"Bianca asked the board.It slowly moved to M A R Y.Writing each letter down as it moved,Bianca said "Her name is Mary." Xantia finally got brave enough to ask a question and asked "Do you like animals?" Instead of moving to yes or no,it spelled "DIE"At that,they both took their paws off the Ouija,and walked away.Xantia never want to play an Ouija board ever again.They decided to swim in the pool again to take their minds off what had happened.After they put on their bathing suits,they went in the backyard tho get in the pool.Bianca did a cannon ball and Xantia did a beautiful dive off of the diving board.They talked and did tricks for a while,but they didn't dare to talk about the Ouija board because they were trying hard to get it off their minds.They swam for an hour or two,then they got out and watched TV.After they dried and got dressed,they went to the mall.They haven't been to the mall in awhile,so they thought it would be fun.Xantia got a back massage.It was a dollar per minuet,so she got three minuets.After that,they went into a dress store and they looked around in there for awhile.Xantia found a gorgeous cotton dress with nice markings and colors.She thought it would be nice to wear over a swim suit to the beach.Bianca didn't see anything she liked in that store,so they headed out.After that,they just went into a regular girls store.It sold bathing suits,makeup,shirts,shorts pants,ect.Bianca found a nice pair of denim shorts and a cute white tank top.When they were about to leave the mall,they ran into Grace!They showed each other what they bought.Then Bianca invited her to stay with her and Xantia for awhile.That was fine,so Grace just followed them in her car.When they got home,it was about 7:28.They each got a snack and sat down on the patio outside.When it got late,Xantia called her mom and asked if she could sleep over again.It was fine,and Grace spent the night,too.That was too much for Bianca's bunk bed,so they slept in the biggest bed room with a king sized bed.

******☾******
After they took their showers and got in their pajamas,they got in bed and watched TV.It was hard to sleep for some reason,so they called their friends and talked for a long time.Grace had the idea to meet each other at the beach with glow sticks for a night walk.So the three of them,still in their pajamas and got in Bianca's Jeep.They stopped by Walmart on the way and got a big pack of glow sticks.They went ahead and opened the pack of glow sticks and picked their colors after they paid for them.Xantia picked the cyan,Bianca picked the neon green,and Grace picked the pink.They didn't crack them until they got to the beach so they would last longer.When they got to the beach,it was dark outside so they cracked their glow sticks so they would illuminate the dark.They looked for their friends on the beach and didn't find them.So Xantia called them.They were down by the water and when they got there,one of them was swimming!The water was cold,but not freezing.They were all in their pajamas,but Xantia jumped in to join anyway.Soon,everyone was in the water,riding on the waves.After they had finished swimming,they got out with their glow sticks and started to walk on the beach.It was a peaceful walk,until they started to race each other.Then they started to plan tomorrow night."When should go to the carnival!"Bianca said happily."Yea!That sounds like a lot of fun."Xantia said.Everyone liked the idea of going to the carnival."Well gals,we should go home no and get some rest."Xantia went on.Grace,Bianca,and Xantia hopped in the jeep and went home.

******☼******
That morning,they awoke to the ring of Xantia's cell phone.It was one of her friends saying "When are we going to the carnival?" Xantia moaned "Why did you call so early?" "Early?!"She replied. "It's 10:00!" "Oh."Said Xantia half way awake. "We'll probably go around 7:00pm. "Kk bye!"She said as Xantia hung up the phone."Why would she call?"Bianca asked impatiently."She ruined our sleep!" "Great,now I'm all awake"said Grace as she got up."Taylor is so stupid sometimes."Xantia replied."Now we're all up anyways so lets go for a morning swim."Bianca said.They were feeling lazy,so they went ahead and just swam in their pajamas.It was fun,and the cold water of the pool woke them up more.Most of the time the just talked instead of swimming.Every once in a while,however,they would get tired of talking so they would stop and start to swim.After a long while,they got out of the pool and dried off with their towels.After they got dressed they ate breakfast while they watched TV.They got really,really bored after awhile and decided that they wanted to go to the carnival now.Sop they called Taylor and told her to tell everyone to come to Bianca's house so they could go to the carnival together.While they were waiting for their friends to come,they put on better clothing for the carnival.Once they finally arrived,Xantia,Grace,and Bianca ran out to their car and drove off to the carnival.When they got there,the first thing they did was go on the biggest roller coaster they had.It went upside-down,in a loop,but Xantia's favorite part was the huge 90 degrease drop.They all screamed as loud as they could when it went down the drop.When they got off that ride,they decided to do something not as extreme.So,they went on the ferris wheel.Everyone thought that was fun,not too scary.Then they played some games.Xantia played darts and one the biggest toy at the booth.It was a long purple,fluffy snake that she put around her neck like a scarf.Then they went on every ride there.Literally.They even went on some twice.Eventually they couldn't handle anymore and got tired.When they got home,they talked about how much fun they had and how they wanted to go again tomorrow.

******☾******
It was a school night that night,so Xantia had to go home.She was happy because she had the funnest weekend she had in ages.Her family was happy to see her again,too.Xantia took her shower and after she got dressed she plopped on her bed and called Bianca.They talked,and talked about their weekend and how much fun they had.Then started talking about school.School is fun sometimes, though because you get to see your friends.Then they talked about how funny it was when they prank called Jessica!They also talked about how cute the outfits were that they got from the mall.They each laughed.They kept on talking until Xantia's mom had put it to an end.Xantia watched TV until she fell asleep that night,thinking about how much fun she had.

******☼******
That morning,she woke up early again to her alarm clock.She blinked sleep from her eyes and got up.She put on a pretty,frilly,purple dress and black tennis shoes.She walked downstairs to the kitchen,got some toast and a pawful of cherries and walked to the bus stop to meet her friends.It was a nice sunny day out side with a pleasant,cool,breeze.She gobbled up her toast and best for last,she ate her loved cherries.When she finished,she talked to her friends until the bus came and picked them up for school.They all sat near each other so they could talk.Bianca started,"Did I tell you guys what happened when me and Xantia played with the Ou--"She cut off dead in her words when she saw Xantia look away when she almost said Ouija board.She forgot Xantia didn't want to talk about it.Bianca finished "-Played with my bunny?It bit me for the first time!"They both knew it wasn't true,but they played along."Very interesting,Bianca"Taylor said,sarcastically.They all giggled,then the bus stopped at school.They trotted of into the hallways of high school.Xantia wasn't too big on school,a lot of her friends weren't.If there was less work and more talking and fun time it would be tons better.After class,Bianca said that she was going out of town for the week and was wondering if she could take care of Cupid,her bunny."Sure." Xantia said as she headed back on the bus."Drop her by later today." When all of them got on the bus,they talked about how boring class was,until Xantia pulled a cherry out of her purse and ate it.All of them were silent as they stared at Xantia."How long has that been in your purse?!"Taylor asked."Not too long.I think since yesterday."Xantia replied. "Thats discussing."Grace commented."Its yummy"Xantia said back."Ew" Bianca exclaimed.Soon they were dropped off at their bus stop and each walked home.Not long after Xantia got home,Bianca was at her door with the fluffy little bunny,Cupid.Xantia always wanted a bunny,but her parents would never let her get one.Thankfully,they let her babysit her friends.Bianca handed her the large cage and said bye to Cupid as she walked out of the driveway.(Bianca just walked because their houses are so close together)She ran Cupid up to her room and looked at her beautiful,fluffy,white-with-light-brown-spots fur,then pulled her out of the cage.

******☾******
She watched TV with Cupid for a long while until she had to take her shower.She was shampooing her fur while humming until she heard a terrible coughing noise.Was it coming from Cupid?She washed the shampoo out of her fur really fast then rushed out of the shower in her towel to check on Cupid.Xantia looked in her cage to see her coughing.She immediately picked her up and rushed her down to her parents.By the time she got down to her parents,Cupid lay stiff not breathing in Xantia's hands.Cupid was dead.Xantia Stared at cupid in horror.She also felt terrible because it was Bianca's pet.She wanted to call Bianca and ask her if anything happened to Cupid because maybe she was supposed to die?Xantia got a horrible feeling in her belly.She felt sick.What was she supposed to say?Your bunny dies under my care?"What do you want to do with the body?"Her mom asked,stiffly,like she also felt sick.Xantia gave her a big eyed look."Don't tell me you just want to leave it in the cage and just give it to Bianca when she comes back."Her dad said.That was exactly what she was thinking."Well what else am I supposed to do?!"She snapped."We'll make her a grave in the back yard."Her mother said,in a calm voice."I'm sure Bianca will understand.Xantia handed her mom the bunny and sadly walked up the stairs in to her room and cried herself to sleep that night.Seeing Cupid's cage in her room didn't help.

******☼******
Xantia's alarm clock went off as usual,waking her up.She didn't feel any motivation at all to go to school that say.She couldn't even handle one day with a bunny.Xantia didn't want a bunny anymore.Or any pets.It's just too sad to loose them.Plus,she didn't even hjave her friends pets for 5 hours.That was all the time she had Cupid.She finally lugged herself out of bed and got dressed.She wore her gloomy grey tank top and her faded denim shorts.She almost never wore this or these colors.She just felt too sad for bright colors today.For breakfast She just grabbed the whole bag of cherries and stuffed them in her purse.When she had a strong emotion like this,she would only eat cherries.When she got to her bus stop,her friends could tell that she was depressed.They all huddled around her.Bianca wasn't there,because she went out of town."Whats wrong?"Grace asked,sharing her sympathy."Bianca's bunny died under my care."She spat out.Everyone gasped."It's not your fault,that bunny was older than it was supposed to be."Grace said,she had known Bianca since middle school.Xantia's ears popped up."Really?!"She said,it made her feel a lot better."I guess she wont be too made at me,then.The bus came and picked them up for school.Xantia hopped on and sat with in her usual seat with her buddies.Like good friends,they completely dropped the subject about Cupid and talked about if they should plan something that night."Jeepers Creepers is on sale at Walmart.We could get it and watch it tonight."Xantia wondered."I've been dying to see that movie!"Taylor exclaimed."Sounds like a plan then."Grace decided.The bus stopped at school and dropped the students off.They went up to their lockers and put their stuff in.Xantia got a few cherries out of her purse before shutting her locker door.Xantia felt as if she could just fall asleep in all of her classes.Hopefully,she didn't because she hated the thought of getting bad grades.Right now,she just felt lazy.Each locker trip she got,she got a cherry or two.They tasted better than ever to her right now.When school was over,Xantia and her friends got on the bus.They talked for awhile about the movie,but within a moment of their silence,they looked at Xantia and she was passed out asleep.Thank goodness they woke her up at their stop though and they got off.Xantia walked home and the first thing she did when she got in was take a shower.When she got out she put on her robe and sat down on her bed.She tried as hard an=s she could to look away from Cupid's empty cage.

******☾******
After a few hours of watching E!news,her friends were knocking at the door.She ran downstairs to greet them.Grace bought the movie and Taylor brought popcorn.They headed off into the theater room and put the movie in.They put the volume on nice and loud to make the effects more scary.They ate the popcorn as they watched the movie.A soon as something scary popped up,they accidentally spilled some of the popcorn.

Hello! I love this idea, and I love this pound! I will definitely donate, and likely adopt, but I have a question about the poll: do options 1 and 2 mean that freaks will no longer be available, or just that there will be 50 fewer?

[Queen Vivane]

The freaks will still be around im sure and the number if kennles will most likely be kept the same :3

[Tarantulatom]

I don't mean to be a bother, but what changes (other than the spotlight, which I understand) will be enacted then with options 1 and 2? I am just really confused at all. Thanks for your help, Fenris! (I named my town in Animal Crossing: Wild World "Fenris"...)

[Queen Vivane]

Well at the moment there are only 100 common creature kennels with both option 1 and option 2 there will be 50 more added on
^-^ Haha thats so adorable
