Why do you want these animals and what will you do for them?:
|Oh my gosh golly goodness! How did these sweetie pies get left here? When I saw Trigger, I knew, hands down, up front, I gotta have him. With Chance, it took a little more time. Only when I saw his revamp was it that I realized his true potential. Now, I feel it's as if he's pushing on my heart, saying, "Let me in! Let me in!"

I enter these things called OC tournaments. It is a great way to get art of your character(s) and make new friends along the way! I love these two, and they would be absolutely amazing additions to my little crew of characters.|
Personalities:
/Trigger/
|Trigger is a very adventurous pup with a keen sense for trouble. He is very caring towards his friends, and a great companion....That is, if you don't mind his constant yammering.|
-Heroic-
|Trigger is obsessed with being the hero. There's someone in trouble? Expect him to rush in with a cape on his back. Someone's feeling down? He'll be there to comfort them. But with this trait comes a negative side. He never accepts help from anyone, and will commonly just sulk in a corner if he's depressed.|
-Funny-
|Trigger is a true ironic character. Made only for the role as a protagonist, Trigger is quite serious most of the time. His ideas are just so far fetched and ridiculous that everyone takes them as a joke. It's very difficult to tell whether he is being serious or not.|
-Obnoxious-
|All that heroism and funniness has to have a downfall. Trigger is very loud and annoying, asking questions every five seconds such as, "Are we there yet?" "Can we go to the park?!" "WHY WON'T YOU GIVE ME COOKIES?!?" ... Don't ask about the last one. Just...just don't.|
-Light Hearted-
|Trigger has a very positive outlook on life. He always looks towards the brighter side of the situation, and never once has had an issue with being so low he can't pick himself up. Even when he's sad, he'll sing a little song his Mama taught him.|

Here's the story of a girl,
Who grew up lost and lonely.
Thinking love was fairy tale,
And trouble was made only for me...

Even in the darkness, every colour can be found.
And every drop of rain brings water flowing
To seeds growing in the ground...

Grief replaced with pity,
For a city barely coping.
Dreams are easy to achieve,
If hope is all I'm hoping to be...

Anytime you're hurt, there's one who has it worse around.
And every day of rain leaves water growing seeds you're sowing in the ground...

So keep your head up, Trigger buddy.

Felicia Dayes, "Penny's Song." From Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Altered slightly to fit this character.
-"Chick Magnet"-
|Yes, you read this right: Chick magnet. Of course, being a pup, he isn't actually a chick magnet. He's just very perverted, in his own...pup like way.
But baby chickens seem to like him//shot.|

\Chance\
|Chance is a devoted German shepherd who speaks in a slight British accent, for some odd reason. He has dedicated his time to caring for Trigger and Happy.|

-Loyal-
|Chance has an undying loyalty to his closest friends, and will just about die if anything happened to them. He loves his Happy and Trigger to death. Especially Happy. (He has a crush on her!) Trigger is more like his son to Chance.|
-Brave-
|Remember what I said about 'undying loyalty?' It pretty much gives him a good and bad trait in one, like this. On the plus side: he's great at defending his friends and can easily defeat opponents. On the downside: it gets him into a lot of crazy and stupid situations. Most of which, are all Trigger's fault, I might add.|
-Stern-
|Chance is very protective of his little family, and with that comes his strictness. It's mostly directed towards Trigger, who commonly does stupid stunts. An example: If they're in a tournament or a fight, Trigger will pose as Chance to whoever they're fighting to 'prove his worth .' Of course, this only earns him a tongue lashing.|
-Overprotective-
|Chance, along with being strict, can be a little...too overprotective. Meaning, if anyone comes in a five distance radius of them, they're going to get bitten.|
-Loving-
|Although he seems like a big rough and tough guy, Chance is actually a total sweetheart once you get to know him. He'll constantly care for you and show you affection. He might even take you into his family if he likes you enough!|

History/Background - Trigger:

Once upon a time, there lived a little pup named Trigger.

That was so. Freaking. Annoying.

Ever since the day he could walk, Trigger had been getting himself into all kinds of trouble. While his littermates grew older and were adopted by the kind twoleg folk that lived across from their little barn, Trigger yearned for adventure, waiting for his chance to be a true hero.
And that day finally came, when he literally saw his Chance.

History/Background - Chance:

It was a cold, quiet evening the night Chance got adopted. By a cute little girl and her parents; said they needed a guard dog. Chance was glad to be out, sure, but it just wasn't the same. He couldn't wander around freely. He was forced to play constantly, and was treated like a toy.

So one day, he gathered up all his things (which wasn't much) and ran off, never to be seen again. This is where our story begins.

I padded along the empty dirt trail across from the old barn house, swishing my tail back and forth lowly, patiently. It had been almost a week since I'd run off, and goshdarnit, I was getting hungry.

I sniffed at the air and stared longingly at the barn. They wouldn't notice if I just took a few chickens, would they? No. Twolegs weren't that smart. Or at least, I thought they weren't.

Tugging my maw back so my fangs were bared, glistening raindrops in the moonlight, I stalked towards my prey. My tail fluffed up and held high, I prowled around in circles, waiting for the first unfortunate hen to come into my clutches. Just as I heard a stir from inside the chicken coop, a voice rang out like a silver bell.

"Hey, Mister! What're you doin' near the Chicken House?"

I whirled around, seeing a small multi-coloured pup. He was about a quarter of my size, not that big. He wore a proud yet curious expression on his little face, hope twinkling in his bright blue eyes.

The pup blinked and repeated, "What're you doin' near the Chicken House? Are you lost? Why aren't you talking? Are you a mute? Ooh! Ooh! Are you an adventurer?!" He hopped around excitedly, wagging his fluffy little tail.

I sighed. I knew I had to be careful, or else this pup might turn out to be the guard mutt. "Oh, I just lost my way," I lied, sitting down. "I don't really like talking that much... And an adventurer? Me? Kid, that don't even begin to describe me!"

The pup squealed excitedly and hopped around in circles in front of me. "Omigosh, you're an adventurer? I'm an adventurer too! Hey, we should team up! We'll be the greatest adventurers that ever lived, doncha think?"

While the pup rambled on, I sat down patiently, my stomach growling. Maybe I could eat the pup...No. I'm a carnivore. Not a cannibal.

I sighed and started off, walking away. "Pup, I know yer type. The hero. Always wantin' t' help others. But y' don't wanna mess with my kinda dog. Er...wolf."

The pup blinked and dashed over to my side, pawing at my leg. "You're a wolf? Cool! Can we be the Wolf Squad? We'll totally crush every bad guy out there! So can we? Huh? Can we?"

I rolled my eyes and padded off, the pup following close behind. I swore I'd ditch him as soon as he fell asleep. But I just couldn't. Still can't.

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:

Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.

Kennel number:
|17|
Name:

Happy, even though she doesn't look it.

Breed:

Platypus. Obvious enough? XD

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

My gosh golly goodness -3B-, you're just trying to give me a heart attack with this gorgeous baby, aren't you?! XD Well, she's caught my eye, and that's for sure. She would be greatly loved in my care and (if I get them) will be Chance and Trigger's "Partner in Crime."

Personality:

I don't wanna be the girl that laughs the loudest.
Or the girl who never wants to be alone.

Happy is that misunderstood girl, always trying to make everyone else happy, but never once thinking for herself.

I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence.
The quiet scares me cause it screams the truth.

As quoted in the song, Happy hates being the girl that has to make the first move to make friends. She'd rather be alone than have to fill the silence. It scares her because before she met Trigger and Chance, she was in exile of her tribe.

When it's good, then it's good, it's so good til it goes bad,
Then you're trying to find the you that you once had.
I have heard myself cry, "Never again!"
Broken down and in agony and still trying to find a friend...

All Happy truly wants is a family...Won't you give her that?

AreYouAWitch

Its been almost a month and shes not being added or acknowledged anywhere, if you don't want her please tell me and I will give her to another pound.

[Desmond]

Tiki hasn't had time to put new donations in the kennels yet. Please be patient with her; she has school and three jobs, on top of her duties as CS mod and POH staff. She's busy. I live with her and hardly see her some days.

[Tiikeria]

Despite being in class, and supposed to be working on my project...

Like B said, I haven't had a chance to update any that I noticed I missed, which yours was included. I'll get them up...sometime. X.X Between work at the library, work at the museum, work back home, classes and organizations, coupled with homework and my mod duties, I have to schedule my life.

Hopefully, I'll have time this weekend, possibly Friday to update with all the revamps, and the donations I missed, though I may wait until Octo finishes the CD that's coming up.

[Loenna]

Just pointing it out because others donated after me have been added,

[Desmond]

Just pointing it out because others donated after me have been added,

I just checked, and yours shows up in the search after the cutoff where Tiki last updated the kennels - which is the post with my donations. Check, if you want. I don't know where the original post is, but it's probably a search problem that stopped it from appearing the first time. It will go up the next time Tiki updates, though, if you are patient.

[Tiikeria]

So, I decided to make a survey about PoH. We want to know what you guys think of the center, and how we do as staff. Be honest, it's anonymous. Link is here, and I'll be putting it in the first post. :3
