Astar
Greyhound | Female | 5 Years | Cage

Astar sat at the back of the cage as usual. Her head rested on her front paw, eyes scanning the space in front of them. The usual noises of pacing, claws clacking on the floor, an unknown squawking, and communication, all seemed to merge as one. The familiar voice of Amelia peaked their attention as the phone chimed. Although she couldn't understand the words, the worried tone of voice gained interest. Maybe another creature had blown their chance of freedom.

Their concentration was broken by a squeaking, mostly drowned out by the sound of Dawn shredding something. Astar's cage is near the back of the place, meaning they don't usually see other animals, only when taken for walks or let out, and as such, has to learn their surroundings through sound. This squeaking is higher pitched than a bird, and therefore must be a rodent. Most likely a rat, as it seems they were gnawing on something beforehand. Heaving herself to her paws, they slunk to the front of the cage silently and gazed outward.

Hogwarts fluttered her wings quietly, huddled in the corner of her cage as she slept through the warmish day. She shuffled slightly on the post she was dangling from as she opened one eye to watch her surroundings.

Diesel | Location: Cage | Mood: Restless, Excited | Tags: Open, Staff?

Diesel paced the walls of his cage- usually, he would have been let out for a walk by now, and the large boxer was growing restless. He flung himself at the metal wire of his cage, denting it slightly but not doing much. Giving up, the 30 kilogram hound started an earsplittingly wobbly howl that echoed down the hallways of the shelter, attempting to alert staff of his annoyance.

Bottlebrush | Location: Hallways | Mood: Neutral | Tags: Open

Bottlebrush wandered the hallways amiably- he had been let out for a while for being good. This was no great accomplishment, though- for Bottlebrush, being "good" was classified as not having attacked someone for 10 minutes. The fat old tomcat wandered around, giving the rats and birds of the sanctuary death stares through the walls of their cage as he searched for something to eat.

Silky limped from the sleeping part of her cage to the main part. The floor was littered with toys and everything a cat could want. But Silky moved to the back of her cage. There were people walking around the front, and she was scared of people. They were so big and they sometimes picked her up and squeezed her and talked loudly in her face. No, people were not the way forward, Silky decided. She went through that thought sequence every day.
She walked over to her food and water bowls, where she ate and drank her fill. Then she sat at the back of her cage, mentally preparing herself for another day of people staring at her and speaking loudly to her in some unintelligible language. She sighed. Here we go again...

They were sitting in their cage, bored because there is nothing to do but to sleep. "At least we are not abused here." Felix meows. "You're right, everything is fine." Poppy says. "Let's talk. What do you think about this shelter?" Felix asks. "Oh, well better than at home. I also saw other animals, they're not aggressive." Poppy exclaims. "Do you think the dogs hate us?" "Probably."

|female | boss | on the phone |

Amelia rubbed her eyes. The alarm on her phone went
off. Today she would decide whether to change the shelter
into the sanctuary. The clock read 6:45.
''Oh no! I need to leave!''
I got up and ran over to the bathroom
to change. When I was out, I put some mascara
on and bolted out of the room. ''Bye girl!" I looked
at my dog. I grabbed my purse and closed the
apartment door. I ran down the stairs and outside
to the car. I turned the keys and heard the car start
up. I drove to work.

Hogwarts continued sleeping, slightly stirred only by the faint howling noise coming somewhere from the dog section of the shelter.

Diesel | Location: Cage | Mood: Restless, Excited | Tags: Open, Staff?

Diesel's wavering howls echoed down the hallways as the large hound continued his attempt to escape, bashing himself against the mesh cage with moves a wrestler would be proud of. Finally giving up, he ran round his room a few times, kicked his food bowl over and took out his anger on his bed.

Bottlebrush | Location: Entrance | Mood: Pissed | Tags: Amelia

As the shelter's owner walked in, Bottlebrush skidded round the corner, claws scraping painfully against the floor with the noise of a fork against a plate. The large tomcat bounded onto Amelia's head, leapt off again and hit the wall with a screech.

Silky pricked up her small ears as Amelia came through the door. She didn’t see her very often, but Silky felt Amelia was one of the only humans she could trust.

As she thought that, another member of staff opened the door to her cage. Silky did not know this woman. She greeted Silky with gentle tones, but despite the woman’s obvious effort to keep her calm, Silky crouched defensively, staring at the unfamiliar woman with wide, fearful eyes. The woman slowly reached out a hand toward Silky, trying to soothe her nerves, but Silky bolted into her sleeping area, breathing heavily and huddling in a corner.

The woman sighed and proceeded to refill Silky’s food and water bowls, glancing sympathetically at her sleeping room occasionally. Silky then heard the door to her cage open and shut again, but she stayed where she was, too fearful to move more than an inch in any direction.

Author
Male/Siberian husky/Cage/Crush:Open/Tagged:Diesel
Author smiled at Keegan."Well im gonna start going. It was nice playng with you!" Author shouted as he walked off and into his cage. The scent of fresh food filled his nose and his mouth began to water. Author bent down to get his food but his attentoin changed to a loud bang followed along with loud howls. He walked over to the ege of his cage and looked through the thin bars when his gaze met with Diesel."You okay there bud?" Author asked his voice abit shaky from being startled becouse of the noise. Not like it wasn't loud all the time but the sound of banging always got him.

Dawn
Female/Sun conure/Cage/Crush:Open/Tagged:Open
Dawn squacked when she finished chewing the wooden rings that hung from the top of her cage. Her head turned to the side when she heard the cage door open and a hand reach through. Dawn flew and landed onto her food bowl which got replenished with fresh fruit and seeds. She gasped when a big round strawberry got blaced into the bowl along with some sunflower seeds and a grape."Good food good good food!" Dawn squacked as she grabbed the strawberry and began to take out and fling the small seeds that were on the outside.

Meria
Female/Domestic longhair/Cage/Crush:Open/Tagged:Open
Meria frowned."Bummer. Fish are the best!" Meria said when her attention was grabbed by the sound of a can opening. She walked over and looked into the bowl."Tuna!" Meria always knew that smell of ground up fish in water. She quickly bent over and began to chow down on this fishy feast.

Brad
Male/Vet/Office/Crush:Amelia/Tagged:Open
Brad walked out of his office and into the cage area. He opened a door and grabbed a little mouse and walked back in."Okay lets see that leg." Brad carefully flipped it over and examined it."Looking alot better today. " Brad said as he smiled. He grabbed the small mouse and carefully began to walk back. Brad opened the cage and placed the mouse in its cage and closed the door and walked off, back into his office

The she-cat groomed her pelt, wiping her paw over her head. She swished her tail around, looking around to see if anyone was seeing her. She continued to wash her pelt.

Dio put on his dust mask. It may be stupid to be working with animals while being allergic to fur, but he wasn't gonna let that get in his way. He check his phone on last time before heading towards the dogs area.

The bat woke up, large ears twitching as she snuffled her way to her water bottle, drinking a bit as she listened out for anything interesting.

Diesel | Location: Cage | Mood: Restless, Curious | Tags: Tiny

Diesel paused the demolishing of his own cage as he noticed another dog. Licking excess drool from his jaws, he barked a greeting.❝Y'new here, kid? ❞ he slobbered, eyeing the black-and-brown mutt.❝Never seen you round here before.❞ the large boxer added, waiting for the hound to respond.
