Pound of Hope [CLOSED PERMANENTLY]

[Tiikeria]

Alright, guys~ Kennels have been updated. As always, if you see any mistakes, let me know. :3 No kennels were moved this time, because I'm running low on time, but I did manage to select a new Star, since you guys did us proud by giving Kelsey a home. This time, we have this guy:

Image:
Old Image
Name: Unamed (please change)
Gender: Male (changeable)
Species: Diceapillar
Preferences:
~keep his design as it is (can remove hat)
~he is good, so please don't make him and evil character
~MUST remain a Dicapillar
~Please name him a sensible name
~Please love him and don't let him sit at the back of a thread unloved
~If you want him/her to be your fursona/fursona's mate give me a good reason
~Return to me if no longer wanted
By submitting this form, I, Inudog, agree that I am giving up my character to a new home, and will not ask for the character back if it has a form up for it.

I chose this poor guy simply because he's been here for more than a year, wishing and hoping for a home to call his own. Though he may be dressed for the Christmas spirit, he's far from a seasonal character. With a eye catching design of greys with popping red and green, he makes for one very handsome creature. His preferences are reasonable, making sure he goes to a good home, which, knowing the amazing people here at Pound of Hope, he will be loved if adopted.

It's not too late for a Christmas miracle. So won't you give this guy the home he deserves?
-Tiki

Now, let's do the same for him. :3

With all that done...let the games begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor. X3

[parfom]

Tiikera, didnt i post a fofm for him ?

[Tiikeria]

You might have, but he wasn't given out. ^.^;; There's a chance that, even though a form is put in, that the character won't be given out; it's normally because the form wasn't up to our standards, or wasn't finished. :3

[parfom]

Oh okay ^^ thanks for the explination :3

Adoption Information ;;

Kennel number: P137
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
When adopting a pet I don't like to make many promises. I had seen Kalik up for adoption once before, and I was surprised to see him back here a second time. When I had seen him the first time around I loved him instantly, but hadn't gone for him because of two things. One, I had no time, and two I had too many male characters as is.
His design is fairly simple but very charming. I have a very particular taste for designs. I tend to prefer when characters have colour pallettes that include four colours and up, not including the eyes paws and nose colours of course. He has five, and all of them flow very well together.
I think he's a magnificently original character and despite our surprisingly short history together Ive grown an affection for his potential character. If I do manage to get him Ill happily get him art, get a mate for him (though Ill be picky),
and update his history often with new stories once I get my character site up and running. :)

Basic Information ;;

Name~+ Kalik
Gender~+ Male {♂}
Sexual Orientation~+ Bisexual {leaning towards Gay}
Order~+ Carnivora
Species~+ Canis Lupus
Breed~+ Winter wolf
Physical Traits~+

❦Not as heavily built as his brothers and not as well conformed as his mother, Kalik was born weaker than the rest of the litter. In defiance of this, his figure in the sense of sexual attraction was sublime. His enchanting coral pelt is entwined with sets of lovely ivory markings, which lace harmoniously around the edges of his anatomy in a manner that synthesized with the curvature of his body perfectly.
❦ He has ruffled fur made of long guard hairs which repel moisture accompanied by a woolly underfur that provides insulation.
❦Ears are large and slim. A Winter wolf's hearing is all most 17 times sharper than a gray wolf's. Which helps them hear above the screeching of the wind. They can hear their pack mates howl from over 16 kilometers away (9.9 miles), and can distinguish what their saying perfectly.
❦It's nose, unlike most canines, is not usually wet. In fact, it's very dry. The less humidity of a Winter wolves muzzle the healthier it is.
❦Winter wolves most acute sense is scent.
❦Winter wolves have large paws. When born a Winter Wolves pads are all ready hard as stone, and strangely enough they are also born with retractable claws. Their fleshy pads give them grip over rocky terrain, and they spread so the wolves won't sink in the deep snow.
❦Winter wolves have a deadly bite. Their jaws can exert a pressure of 440 lbs, twice the crushing power of a full grown timber wolf.

His Character ;;

Personality~+
This male has a surprisingly timid nature, this is most likely due to his fear of homophobics and others who may judge him or look down on him for his sexual orientation. He is very careful with his wording, and says very little to people who he's not familiar with.

As a love interest
Kalik is a high minded individual who is also intelligent and fiery. As a true romantic he tends to be possessive of his lovers, of which he had many of. He bounces from mate to mate all ways ending in a heart break. Kalik is demonstrative with affection and loyal as a companion. It isn't him who usually ends the relationship, but his partners. Many at first find his passionate personality attractive but later grow tired of it. Although he switches mates often he is actually quite exclusive with mates, he is simply searching for that Juliet {or Romeo}. Once found they shall be his one and only forever.

Defender of liberty
A great defender of liberty and is fierce when arguing for it. Should this young male see many others choose one path it is more likely he will choose the other because of his strange personality. Being a defender of liberty he will go to great lengths to win his argument and because of his persistence often does. He is friendly and attempts to understand others. His sympathetic and definite nature is well developed. Kalik has a passion for beauty, though the beauty of knowledge predominates that of natural. He is inquisitive, witty and has a penetrating mind. The only thing he ever has trouble defending is when he's against homophobics, this being because he gets too nervous and shy knowing they'll suspect him of having a 'dishonourable' reputation.

Shy

Intelligent

Quiet

Likes~+

The Rain
Being a stereotypical romantic he often envisions himself and his future mate having many good times together in the midst
of the downpour. Specific details he loves it are dark evening or night rain, fog/mist, being in dense forestry in a cavern or by a river.

The Snow

Feeling Protected

Protecting Others

Dislikes~+

Homophobics
Dry Weather
Liars/Lying

Favourite Food~+ Spring Solstice herd horses and Summer herd horses. He argues that the cobs and draft horses of
Winter and Fall herd often have far too much fat on them. Due to the fact the horses have moved locations and rarely come up the mountain they are a rare treat for Kalik.

A well respected herd
Spring Solstice Herd strives to ensure honor, peace, and
respect. They are relatively all around peace keepers, unlike
their neighbors and have a tendency to be a bit naive in their visions
of tranquility. In this herd mares have just as much rights as males,
and both are treated as equals.
This herd is made up of any breed really, but mainly horses like
Quarter Horses.

Fiery, ambitious and proud
Summer Solstice herd is made up of a group of hot blooded broncos.
The percentage of herd members are Arabs, Akhal Teke's and Barbs.
Thoroughbreds and Anglo Arabs can also be found but their not nearly
as common as Arabs.
Summer horses love the thrill of war fare and are known to be highly flirtatious,
possessive of their mares, and territorial. Their high strung nature often gets them into
trouble, though they'll never accept help from their friends Spring Solstice herd.
Well...not usually.

Background Information ;;

Winter wolf Society~+
❦ Like their closest cousins, the gray wolves, Winter wolves live in packs with high levels of social orders. Their ranks usually consist of, (in order of dominance): Alphas, Heirs, Deputy, Elders, Generals, Warriors, Scouts, Queens, Pups,
Unfortunately, females are not allowed to be deputy, or warriors. They can only be scouts,alpha females, or queens when they mature.
❦ First elders, queens, heirs and pups eat. Then the alphas and deputy. Then the, generals, warriors and scouts.
❦ After a pup reaches 4 months, they must help care for the queens and elders. Heirs, sons and daughters of the alphas on the other hand, only participate in leadership, hunting and battle training. Pups are usually trained by warriors and scouts, while heirs are trained by generals.
❦ The sire and dam of a litter have the right to kill off the weakest pup.
❦ Alphas, deputies and generals are the only ranks who are permitted to have a mate. All females have breeding rights, only the top males have breeding rights, and males can have multiple mates. Males who don't have breeding rights are permitted to find a mate outside the pack. But it must strictly be for reproduction purposes, and they will not be permitted to tend to their mate when she's cubbed.
❦ Winter wolves originally feasted mainly on the heavy drafts which had inhabited Mount Corona. But when White Blaze's herd left they soon began to prey on the smaller animals on the mountain, larger prey being scarce and hard to take down.

Father~+ Troy {Alpha male, previous Beta male}-Deceased-
Mother~+ Thara {Rogue, previous Beta female}-Location Unknown-
Siblings~+ Liken{♂} and Kento{♂} {Adopted siblings; of no blood relation}
History~+
From what is known Kalik was not born to the alpha male and female of his pack. He was born to a rogue named Thara. Her mate was Troy, the Winter Wolf Pack deputy. Many looked on at the couple in disgust, and there was much crude dispatch when news burst that the two were expecting to have a litter. When the time came the only pup born to the circumvent dam and sire was a single sickly cub. By Winter Wolf law they were permitted to slaughter the firstborn of their litter, but Thara was unwilling to witness the murder of her newborn. The sire agreed to the terms, but not long after he began to regret his decision. A beautiful fae named Aphrodite was hopelessly in love with Troy, and resented Thara for having been able to capture the males heart despite her position as a rogue.
Seeking revenge on Thara for taking away what was 'rightfully hers' she conceived a delusive animus to separate the two. She slowly but surely convinced Troy that his mate wasn't fit to be the deputy's mate, seducing him with her feminine charm. Troy soon had poor Thara kicked out of the pack, and took Aphrodite in as his official mate. Thankfully for Thara Troy still held some emotion for her, and so kept their sole pup. Although, he refused to let it take on his position as deputy. Instead, he mated with Aphrodite, hoping to produce a stronger generation for him to select from. Too young to fully grasp the concept of his mothers disappearance Kalik expected her to come back soon. But with a neglectful father and banished mother he soon found himself to be in the staggering position of both parents being inattentive, and as a result he was forced to nurture his own independence.

Soon enough the pups of Troy and Aphrodite were conveyed. The whole pack was overjoyed with the new arrivals, all except the elders. They saw the disgrace in Troy taking in a new mate, and they pitied poor Kalik. But, Kalik being strong as he was welcomed his newborn brothers just as warmly as his sire did. In fact, he was possibly even more excited about them than his kin. His two siblings were named Kento and Liken. Both were strong, thick legged cubs. Kalik bathed his blood brothers in licks, only to be pushed away from time to time by Aphrodite. While Troy looked on in pride at Kalik's kind gestures of ardour Aphrodite looked on in arrogance. She wanted Kalik dead, so her sons would be the sole heirs. She feared the pack may argue that since he was Troy's first born he still kept the birth right.

As time passed the boys spent more and more time together until they were finally inseparable. Particularly Kalik and Liken, the first born. They fought together and taught each other battling techniques. Liken grew to be headstrong and dense minded, while Kento attained an heir of pacific acuity.

My mind whirled as I glanced wildly around the room,
eyes wide with shock and fear. It was only a matter of time before I encountered the product of my tormentors persistent efforts to avenge their past experiences by ridding themselves of their present affairs.
The abrupt sound of a painful howl in the distance awoke me from my thoughts as I struggled to find an exit. As the speech of my irritations neared I began to feel frantic and headstrong, and out of my desperation I saw no option but the most critical.
Light streamed into the room, proving I had no chance of clinging to crumbs of shadow for protection. Pricking my ears I clambered onto the edge of one of the window sills, snorting when I saw the drop down. But as the voices grew nearer I knew I had run out of discretion, and with a bristle I leaped from the heights. I outstretched my forepaws and narrowed my eyes as I whipped through the air, plummeting towards the earth. Managing to gain my balance I landed on all fours, which was to my complete satisfaction. Though I had little time to steady my landing before armed gun men burst from the tents close by, their weapons raised. I snarled, raking my gaze across the lot. “Pathetic runts.” I growled. My muscles rippled under my smooth pelt as I flattened my ears, readying myself. It was a few moments before I managed to burst into gear.
I all most smirked when I saw their astonished expressions as I rushed towards the wooden fencing that bordered the human dens, managing to evade their gunfire. Lifting my head, without hesitation I bounded over the oaken fence. A chuckle escaped my grin as I glanced back, their yowls of surprise echoing behind me as I raced into the wood, slipping into the underbrush.
I was finally free.

Kennel number: P133

Name:

{ r o g u e }
rogue by name, rogue by nature ;

Species:

Timber Wolf
Canis Lupus

¦¦ Timber wolves are widely distributed. They are found in various parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. In the United States, they range from the Rocky Mountain ranges to areas in the Great Lakes states. Timbers can be found of prairies and forests, but usually not in high mountain ranges because of the lack of food. Their color ranges from nearly white to nearly black, but are usually grayish. The "pack" is a very complex and strict organization. They communicate through posture, voice, and scent. The alpha, or dominant, male is the leader. Only the alpha male and alpha female are allowed to breed. The entire pack cooperates in feeding, protecting, and training the pups. The pack distinguishes its territory by marking it with urine and feces. Dominant males can stare down other wolves in the pack to prevent a fight and dominate females do the same to prevent females from mating with her mate, but fights are very rare. Some members may stay with the pack for life. ¦¦

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
To put it simply - everything. That's what I love about Rogue. To be honest, compared to a few of the other entries, his design isn't the most vibrant. But I love the naturalism of it. However, the first feature of his that drew me in was that scowl on his muzzle and how young and innocent it made him seem.

Kennel number:
P7
~~
Common creatures Pound 7

Name:
The Sparkle of a Moonrise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sparkle or Moonrise for short

Breed:
Red Wolf
~~~~~~~~
Canis lupus rufus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fast Facts
~~~~~~~~~~
Height: About 26 inches at shoulders.
Length: 4.5-5.5 feet long (including the tail).
Weight: 50-80 lbs.
Lifespan: 6-7 years in the wild; up to 15 years in captivity.

Diet
~~~~
The red wolf’s diet consists primarily of small mammals such as rabbits and rodents. Also known to eat insects, berries and occasionally deer.

Population
~~~~~~~~~~
Almost hunted to the brink of extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rounded up fewer than 20 pure red wolves to be bred in captivity in 1980. As of 2007, approximately 207 captive red wolves reside at 38 captive breeding facilities across the United States. Thanks to these programs, more than 100 red wolves currently live in the wild.

Range
~~~~~
Historically, red wolves ranged throughout the southeastern U.S. from Pennsylvania to Florida and as far west as Texas. Today, wild populations roam more than 1.7 million acres throughout northeastern North Carolina, including Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.

Behavior
~~~~~~~~
Red wolves are primarily nocturnal (active at night), and communicate by scent marking, vocalizations (including howling), facial expressions and body postures.
Shy and secretive, red wolves hunt alone or in small packs -- complex social structures that include the breeding adult pair (the alpha male and female) and their offspring. Red wolves tend to form pair-bonds for life.
Size of the pack varies with the size of available prey populations. A hierarchy of dominant and subordinate animals within the pack helps it to function as a unit. Dens are often located in hollow trees, stream banks and sand knolls.

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Why do I want Moonrise?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer's simple,I love her and her lovely design. While I was scrolling trough the kennels,I saw her. I stared at her for about ten seconds before scrolling up and searching for the adoption form. Her design just speaks to me. I get attracted by weird and unique designs,and hers was the first to speak up. <3

What will I do for Moonrise?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything. Draw her,love her,write stories about her,put her in Roleplays and make her one of Snowy's friends,even if she doesn't want it. 'Nuff said.

Personality:
Antisocial
~~~~~~~~~~
Moonrise doesn't like to be in a large group. In fact,she would rather be alone for a eternity rather than talk to another wolf. Some wolves say she's got Antisocial Personality Disorder,but that is far from the truth. the only reason she is antisocial is because she was treated like a weakling,so she wants to show that she can be strong.

History/Background:
Moonrise has been hated from her birth,since her mother Luna was a arctic wolf from the neighboring pack that was at war with her pack and the fact that she was oddly colored. This is her story of love and hate,luck and fate that turned her world upside down. Now sit back,relax,and enjoy the show.

The sound of screams echoed in the forest. For those who didn't know what was happening,that sound would've scare them to bones. Something white ran between the trees,carrying a white package,a brown bird flying behind it. "Quick! We mustn't get caught,Lara! The other wolves are still behind us!",the bird yelled with a British accent.

"I know,Luna,I'm not stupid!",the white blur spoke up. The bird sighed and flew a little faster,almost flying right into a tree. She was struggling to keep up with Lara.

The duo arrived to a huge waterfall that almost splashed both of them. Lara quickly ran trough the waterfall,entering a cave that had various drawings of ancient mammals painted on the walls. Lara placed the package on the ground and licked whatever was in it. "Sweet dreams,Moonrise...",she said. A sad sounding sigh escaped her lips. She looked at the package once again before running trough the waterfall once again,shedding tears.

When she opened her eyes,she saw the other wolves running towards them.She sighed and looked at the bird. "Listen,the other eagles need you,Luna."

"B-but...Lara...W-what about you...?",Luna asked,trembling at the thought of her friend being killed by her own pack.

"I'll be fine. Now go",Lara said,a sad smile appearing on her face. She knew that Luna was sometimes too emotionally attached to her friends.

Luna's eyes started tearing up. "Goodbye Lara...",she whispered before flying away,leaving a trail of tears behind her.

Lara smiled and turned to her pack,frowning. "Take me",she spat out harshly.
