sugar is a very gentle soul and a comforting figure for others. she is a very knowledgeable dog. this spaniel is humble and sweet, just as her name suggests. she cares deeply for others and always helps out in tough situations.
sugar loves puppies very much, including human "puppies". before the flood, sugar was a family dog- a lap dog if you may. her family consisted of two adults and three children, sugar being their companion. she wasn't just a dog to them, she was a member of the family. she might have been considered a couch potato, usually lounging around and just savoring the company of her owners. she was ever so gentle and tolerant with the children. she'd let them dress her up, and sit by happily as a guest of their imaginary "tea parties" with her. it was an easy and nice life for her, she knew this family would be her forever home.

this spaniel seems to never lose her patience or raise her voice at others, even when they are being rude to her (which she has learned through age) . she always tries to see the bright side of every situation if possible for her to do so. she's quite a simple dog and doesn't ask much from the others for herself. although, she does have a pretty bad fear of thunderstorms. being so very affectionate and friendly, she often enjoys the company of other dogs.

chance has a vibrant personality, he's very determined and also confident in himself. this male wants to live life to the fullest, and dislikes the idea of settling down in one area. he craves adventure and action so he's usually on the go,
trying to be productive with the time he has in each day, even if that means just going out for a run. he has an irresistible desire for freedom. chance is focused and intelligent usually speaks his mind and lets his opinions be known. he's very curious and alert, he usually wants to know what's going on and what's being talked about in groups, even when the conversation doesn't really have anything to do with him. chance can seem like a show-off at times, or rather flirtatious when he likes another dog.

his owner adopted him when he was a young puppy, they've been traveling together ever since. his owner was troubled financially but that never stopped their travels.

lavender is an anxious canine who never wants to be noticed by another dog. this girl does everything she can to stay out of the spotlight and keep the attention away from her. she's never really had a chance for socialization, so she's extremely shy around others. once she figures out you aren't a threat, lav is a great friend and even though she doesn't always know what to say, she can always listen and try to help by just simply being there for them. she can be quite sensitive, and feels hurt even if it's just harmless teasing towards her, so it can be difficult for her to be around sarcastic dogs, because she can't take a joke easily. lavender is often dependent on others and wants friends, even though she's too afraid to start a convo with anyone.

her breeder's current generation of dogs were all given floral related names, and that's how she ended up with hers. even from a week old lavvy was expected to be a proper and confident show dog. one to be envied around the world by every dog owner in america, she was once the puppy that every-one cooed at, complimented to her breeders on how pretty and how quickly she was growing. lav was already hand picked to be their champion dog, to pass plenty of great dogs down for her people. sure, they thought it was fine to think this way. they had high expectations because her sire and dam came from great lineage.. but many months later she ended up being the ditsy dog the one that stumbled over her own paws, who usually laid quietly by herself while the others played. as an adult, she's the only dog of her litter that didn't make it to the shows. around five months of age, she then became the odd dog that no one wanted, and was too skittish to ever be a show dog. of course she happened to seem like the great, but quiet dog everyone thought of her to be until she was separated from her mother and didn't have anyone to lean on or look to for comfort, that's when she began to feel fearful of everything. she feels it's her fault for not living up to the humans expectations.

Raven was never much of a family dog, since her first owner mostly just ignored her and took out their anger on her and their other dogs. She grew very competitive and distanced herself from the other dogs. The few other dogs were merely threats. There was no point in getting to know any of the others, so she didn't bother to try. Despite being weak and food-deprived, Raven managed to escape. She learned how to scavenge and hunt occasionally. She also decided to name herself after the black birds she sometimes saw. She felt as though she could relate to them, a solitary scavenger.
However, it didn't last very long. She was caught by animal control and they tried to put her into rehabilitation. She would never show it around the humans or other dogs, but the people frightened her, and she didn't know why they took her. But then the hurricane hit. In a way, she was thankful to get away from humans again even if it meant not having shelter.

Akhaten was born to a breeder and adopted when he was a puppy. His owner was a major geek and didn't get out much, so he was never really socialized or made comfortable with outside objects. He was named after an episode of one of the many sci-fi shows his owner would watch. There was a backyard for him to run around in for exercise, but he stayed inside with his owner most of the time. Even if he didn't play much, Akhaten was close to his owner and still misses him after they were swept apart.

Duke was serving in the local police force. He was one of the top K-9 units there and was well trained. He liked the police where he worked, especially the one who he went home with. They trained him to be very obedient and to always do his best. He felt the hurricane coming before the humans seemed to know anything.

female | ten years | clumber spaniel | tags;; none

the spaniel lifted her head slowly, her eyes drooping with the rest of her skin. she hopped down from the couch after a yawn, but was shocked when her paws hit the hardwood floor. they had been immediately landed into cold water. sugar looked around her home in surprise. water covered the entire downstairs floor and the back door had been knocked open by the wind. a quiet whine arose and escaped her maw. she didn't understand how she could have slept through this, although it was understandable because she was an older dog and had a couple of stressful days beforehand. sugar definitely needed the rest, but never expected to wake up to this. she let out a sad sigh, her ears and tail dropping. the spaniel's family had left her three days ago, sugar thought they would come back, so she had just been waiting and hoping that her owners would be back by now. she missed them so terribly bad, and sugar would do anything to have them back with her. her stomach rumbled and she felt as though it was being squeezed. she knew she'd have to go out and find food soon enough, but her loyalty kept her held back from attempting to leave the house for the past days. what if she missed their arrival back home? they would have had someone come check up on her by now...right?

she trudged to the window that led to the porch and sat her chin up on the window sill, her jowels curled up slightly against the side of her muzzle while her eyebrows dropped down forward and some over her eyes. sugar looked out at the flooded street longingly, releasing an exasperated sigh. this would definitely be a hard decision for her. if her owners didn't end up coming back, she knew she wouldn't be able to survive in her house without food. the female looked back over her shoulder towards the open door once again.

walking through the water, he followed his nose into an alleyway. chance looked up to see where he had wandered to. the brute smirked at the sight of trashcans, and set off towards one to find some food. of course trash wasn't what most would think of as a meal, but if that was all he had to eat, then that's what he'd have to do. he knocked over a can and began to rummage for anything that seemed edible. he found some left over pizza in the trash, and picked it up in his jaws. chance trotted over to a house and made his way up to the porch. most houses in the neighborhood were ground level, but he was lucky to find one that had steps leading up to it. the collie settled down and placed the food between his paws before eating. it wasn't much food, but enough to subside the pain in his stomach that came from his lasting hunger.

he gnawed happily away at the food, his tail swaying behind him.

Raven
-----------------------------------------------------
female | 7 years | Black Norwegian Elkhound | status;; alone

Raven woke up to water lapping at her paws. Her head resting on them, and she almost breathed in water. The deafening wind tugged at her fur. She scrambled to her paws and looked around. It was storming pretty bad when she had gone to sleep last night, so she had curled up on someone's porch to get off the wet ground. Surprisingly, nobody had come out to shoo her away in the night, which she thought was strange. Usually, humans didn't want her around but now they all seemed to have left, along with the birds she normally heard chirping in the mornings. Even the loud machines they rode around in were gone. She was glad she wouldn't have to deal with them, but at the same time their absence was unsettling. Now, as Raven surveyed her surroundings, she saw that the ground was no longer soaking up water and the storm drains were overflowing. The porch she had been sleeping on was raised, so the water wasn't as high for her as on the ground. She tested the deeper water with a single paw. It moving quickly and extremely cold. She couldn't stay on the porch forever, though. Her stomach growled to remind her to look for food. Hesitantly, Raven waded into the water. After walking around to the side of the house, she found a soggy, partially eaten sandwich near a trash can and ate it to satisfy her hunger.

Akhaten
----------------------------------------------------
male | 3 years | Cirneco dell'Eta | status;; alone

Akhaten lifted his head out of the bag of dog food he had found. His owner left a few days ago and hadn't come back. All of the computer and gaming equipment was gone too, and the dresser was open and half-empty. Thankfully, the cabinet with the dog food was left open. Akhaten missed his owner, and now he was scared to be alone. He had hardly been sleeping, with being worried about his owner and the storm outside. Akhaten wondered around his house, jumping whenever he heard a sound. Water was coming in the doors and his doggy door had flown away. He glanced at some glass on the floor that had once been a window, broken by a branch being blown into it. Akhaten wanted his owner to come back, and he wanted to get out but was too scared to go through the doggy door into the storm outside. Just as he stuck his muzzle outside to smell the air, the door flew outward. He jumped back in surprise at the sudden gust of wind. The fence around his small yard was mostly gone by now, and more water rushed into the house. Akhaten saw the wind and water pushing things around inside, and decided he was more scared of getting hit by a chair than going outside and jumped through the doorway. He waded into the front yard and saw a car in the neighbor's yard. He jumped onto the hood to get out of the water and, not knowing what else to do, laid down miserably. He watched the bent over trees and the rain, hoping to see something else that was alive.

Duke
--------------------------------------------------
male | 4 years | Malinois | status;; at police station

The kennel door was swinging wildly. Duke stared at it, knowing he was supposed to stay in his kennel until his handler told him to come out. Even though they had all left, he wanted to make them happy and stay obedient. That's what he was trained to do. Duke hadn't seen the only other K-9 unit at the police station, and wondered what happened to them. A few days ago, he had been moved to one of the indoor kennels and given some food. The humans left, and they hadn't come back. Duke waited patiently, confused as to why he was alone. He laid down the bed, even though it was soaked. His food and water bowls were empty and he hadn't touched his toys for a while. He wondered if he should look for his handlers, but he knew their scents had been washed away by the rain and he wouldn't be able to trace them. He remembered his training, thinking they might be in danger. On the other hand, nobody had told him to find them. Was it just a drill to see if he would stay? The door to outside had never been left open before, and now Duke was pretty sure it was gone. He remained on alert in case an intruder or his handlers came in.

after finishing and resting for a little bit, he headed off of the porch and out towards the streets again. he walked along casually until he caught a different smell in the air. this scent wasn't the garbage carried by the muddy water, it was a faint smoke scent with something else. his nose once again led him in a different direction rather than the one he had been traveling. perhaps chance was too curious, but he never saw this as an issue. he turned a corner and his eyes scanned over something that had an ebony pelt and perked ears. for a moment, he had mistaken them for a wolf but realized she was just another dog. unable to tell if the other dog was a threat, he kept a safe distance from her. "hey, what are you doing here?" the collie asked with some hesitance, but it was mostly curiosity that sounded in his voice. chance hoped she'd be friendly, but if not he was on all fours and prepared to run if he needed to, or fight. there was no way he wanted to fight, but if it needed to happen, that would happen whether he wanted it to or not.

female | two years | tolling retriever | tags;; none

she bounded towards her master, whimpering as joy spread through her body. her owner cradled her in their arms while lavender savored the warmth and comfort from the human. licking her owner's hands happily, her tail wagged like a jet propeller. harsh winds tugged at her ears, causing a loud whistling sound. she jolted up and hit her head right on the top of her dog house. lavender let out a startled yelp, wishing that her dream had been real. in the moment, reality was more like a nightmare that wouldn't end. she had been howling her heart out for days in the rusty kennel, just hoping someone would hear her and help. she was tethered to her dog house by a rope, with a metal cage surrounding her area. she had been too afraid and confused to gather her thoughts and think of a solution, that was the original cause for her slumber. she hoped after resting she'd be able to at least think straight. the retriever reminded herself to breathe, and to stay calm so that a plan could be made. first, she tried at pulling her head out from the rope, holding it down firmly with her paws while she pulled her neck back. lavender worked at this method for a while, but the rope was just too tight. in the middle of this, her rope got caught on a sharp edge of the dog house and then she began to panic. barely having any space between where the rope was stuck and the dog house, she tried to pull herself away. the leash finally snapped after a minute of her struggling. well, that didn't work out as she had planned.. but at least she was no longer tethered.
after taking a few moments to collect herself once again, the fae turned and continued on with the next part of her plan. she began to dig at the dirt under the side of her kennel. she dug like her life depended on it, the water and thick mud distracting her away from her stinging paws. lavender backed away when she noticed her paws really beginning to burn. she noticed that there was some thin wire fence that her previous handler planted into the soil directly under her kennel to prevent her from digging through the bottom of the kennel and escaping. she would need a way to work around this, or a new plan. lavender felt defeated,
but wouldn't give up yet as her adrenaline was still pumping.

Raven
-----------------------------------------------------
female | 7 years | Black Norwegian Elkhound | status;; w/ Chance

Raven caught a new, earthy smell in the air just as she heard a voice. The fur along her spine rose and her muscles tensed as she recognized the sound as another dog. She whipped her head towards the collie and took a cautious step towards him. Her first thought was that she should chase him off so she wouldn't have competition for food, but she decided against it. Even from a distance, she could tell that the collie's long legs made him at least slightly taller than her, and he likely had proper care. Also, she didn't want more problems, since she was already cold and wet. "Who are you?" she responded, ignoring his question. She wanted to know more about his motives for approaching her and why he was still here before answering any questions about herself. Her ears perked forward so she could hear over the wind.

Akhaten
----------------------------------------------------
male | 3 years | Cirneco dell'Eta | status;; alone

Shivering, Akhaten walked to the edge of the car he was on and looked down at the water. His short coat wasn't doing much to protect him from the weather, and debated going back inside his house. He was bored of sitting around and decided it might be better than outside. He jumped down to the hood of the car and then to the ground, shaking out his coat even though it was useless. The water had risen some, and was now about at his knees. Thunder rumbled in the distance. Startled, Akhaten jumped and ran back onto his car. Thunderstorms scared him, and now he couldn't even run to his owner for comfort.

Duke
--------------------------------------------------
male | 4 years | Malinois | status;; w/ Lavender

Duke looked back at his kennel door. He was getting worried about his owners. There was water on the sloping concrete floor of his kennel, soaking his paws. He noticed it was higher outside. That was new. Even with other storms, Duke never saw more than puddles on the ground. He sniffed around his kennel one more time, hoping to get even a trace of his owners, but he only smelled rain. Even though nobody had told him to, Duke finally decided to walk away from the police station to look for the others. He told himself they would probably be nearby, and that the rain was just a training exercise to see what he would do under different circumstances. That was it, and once he found his owners he would be rewarded with treats and praise for doing so well. That had to be it, his owners wouldn't just be... gone. He walked out with his head held high, ready to do what he needed. It was a long time before Duke realized that his owners must have left somewhere, along with their cars. Feeling down, Duke ventured further into a neighborhood and left the station behind.
Wandering the streets, Duke didn't see anyone left. Suddenly, he thought he heard something in the distance and walked quickly towards the sound. As he neared it, it sounded more and more like a howl. Even after it stopped, he kept going in the direction it had been in. Maybe his owners wanted him to do this? He could smell cedar now, and realized the scent was coming from a dog trying to dig out of a kennel. He sprinted over to help, digging vigorously at the muddy ground by the kennel. His paws stung from a wire, but he ignored it.

she looked into the backyard and noticed that the fence was knocked down. the spaniel stepped over it carefully and began to walk down the sidewalk. her head hung low while her lengthy ears did the same. she felt so guilty for leaving, but hoped it would benefit her more than not in the long run. sugar observed her surroundings, slowly walking so that she could take everything in. everything was flooded, the sky was cloudy and much too dark for her liking. she definitely preferred a nice sunny day outside with her owners over her current situation.

his muzzle and nose crinkled up slightly at the stranger's response. he had asked her a question first, didn't he? chance loosened up and let go of his hesitance. narrowing his almond eyes, he let out a quiet huff through his nostrils. chance didn't particularity want to answer since she hadn't answered his own question, but knew that being stubborn would never help him in this tough situation. he pushed his stubbornness aside and held his head high. "i'm chance. now since i've answered i expect you to do the same." he said boldly, swishing his tail behind him. now his demeanor had changed from curious to slightly irritated with the other dog for her not responding with what he wanted her to. it was easy to see that he was bold and also took great pride in himself. he thought it was better to come off as overly confident than it was to be submissive and fearful by first glance.

she was taken aback when she caught the sight of a male dog rushing in the direction of her kennel. her tail tucked between her legs, her muscles tensing. lavender was terrified, she thought he was going to attack her. although it wasn't long until she realized he was trying to help. she slunk over to the side of the kennel, still quite afraid of the other dog. the retriever slowly picked up a paw and began to dig at the dirt again. they both dug for a few moments, lavender remaining frightened through working at the mud. she let out a sharp whine when her paw got caught on the wiring and it cut her paw pad. they couldn't do this anymore, even if they did then it wouldn't be safe for her to push herself under it. stepping away, she checked around the bottom of the kennel on other sides. lavender found a part in the dirt without wire fencing! the fae let out one woof at duke, quickly motioning her snout to the opening she had discovered.

Raven

Her ears lowered at the male's response. For a moment, Raven was surprised by his boldness but she quickly pushed it away. She debated whether or not she should give in or snap at him for a moment, staring at him. Raven decided she should comply, at least for now. Hesitantly, she growled "Why do you want to know?" Not really an answer, but it was as much as she was willing to give. She narrowed her eyes at him, head held high. Raven didn't want to give in to such a cocky male, but she didn't want to directly start a conflict.

Akhaten
----------------------------------------------------
male | 3 years | Cirneco dell'Eta | status;; alone

The wind was picking up now, and Akhaten saw twigs and small objects being flung around. Akhaten wanted to find shelter, so he slowly jumped down from the car. Water swirled around his legs, and Akhaten had to put effort into not stumbling. He waded aimlessly down the street, flinching at every flash of lightning. He wished his owner would come back to get him out of the storm and comfort him. His Somehow, though, he knew it wouldn't happen. He had a feeling it would be a while before he saw his owner again. Akhaten thought about his owner and his bed, trying to memorize how they felt and smelled as he walked to the sidewalk. For a moment, he though he could hear other footsteps moving through the water and paused, cocking his head towards the sound. He didn't know whether to be excited or scared. Maybe he had just imagined it, because Akhaten didn't know why anyone else would be outside here.

Duke
--------------------------------------------------
male | 4 years | Malinois | status;; w/ Lavender

Duke looked up at the female dog when he heard her bark. He just noticed that she looked scared of him, and it confused him. He stared at her for a moment before going to the place she had pointed out. He dug slowly at first this time to be careful of the wire. His paw pads still stung, and he wondered if he had cut them. Not finding any wire at the new spot, Duke started scooping mud away faster to free the dog trapped in the kennel. Maybe if he did good, his owners would come out of hiding and praise him and take him back home, and everything would be okay. He glanced at the other dog curiously, wondering what made her look so scared of him. She did realize he was trying to help, right? He decided he would try to comfort her once he was done, and maybe she wouldn't be so frightened. There was a hole under the kennel now, almost big enough for her to get through. Mud kept sliding back into the hole, slowing his progress.

female | ten years | clumber spaniel | tags;; none

she looked into the backyard and noticed that the fence was knocked down. the spaniel stepped over it carefully and began to walk down the sidewalk. her head hung low while her lengthy ears did the same. she felt so guilty for leaving, but hoped it would benefit her more than not in the long run. sugar observed her surroundings, slowly walking so that she could take everything in. everything was flooded, the sky was cloudy and much too dark for her liking. she definitely preferred a nice sunny day outside with her owners over her current situation.

male | four years | border collie | tags;; raven

he rolled his eyes and grumbled at the fae. chance was done with this dog's stupid answers- if you could even call them answers. he turned quickly on his paws, trotting away with high steps and his nose pointed up to express his displeasure with her. in the act of walking away, he thought he was playing "hard to get" so she would go running after him to apologize, desperate for his help. he had that kind of effect on female dogs, but it didn't seem she was impressed by his charm... maybe she was just too shy. he nodded firmly in agreement with his own thoughts. chance couldn't simply face the fact that some females just didn't really like him in that way. the collie couldn't understand why though. in his mind, chance was handsome, intelligent, and a very good dog. he knew he was a good boy because his owner would tell him every day!

female | two years | tolling retriever | tags;; duke

she watched him work at the mud, her ears and tail both low. after the hole was large enough for her, lavender looked directly to the male with clear hesitance. the female was suddenly trembling with fear and she was nauseous with stress. everything felt too overwhelming for her. lavender hung her head low, trying to stop herself from shaking so duke wouldn't get aggressive towards her for being so scared. she swallowed down the nausea quickly, and pushed herself under the kennel. the retriever was now standing in front of the malinois and looked pitiful. her posture was low and her entire body was trembling just as it was before. her tail stayed firmly tucked under her belly. she hadn't said a word in fear that he'd snap. lavender took in a quick breath, trying to find her voice through the fear. all she wanted to do was thank him, but could barely speak up.
