Username: Lex.
Name: CHK's "Dainty as a Daisy" || Daenerys
Name Meaning(s): Named after the phrase, "Dainty Daisy" meaning "movement, person, or object as dainty, you mean that they are small, delicate, and pretty." Her call name is named after the character Daenerys Targaryen. I've never watched the show but I'd say she's pretty!
Gender: Female
Prompt:
Daenerys had already met her owners a few times before, and today was the day she was going to be taken home. On the car ride home, she peered out the window, taking in the sights of her new home. As the car pulled into the driveway, she stood and waited for the door to swing open.

She stepped out onto the cold concrete, seeing the lovely home in front of her. It was decorated with bright lights and cute snowmen. Her owners urged her to come with them inside, as it was quite cold. She trotted towards the door and upon entering, she was rushed to a room. They closed the door, and showed her to a very comfortable bed. Daenerys was exhausted, and once she laid down, she was given a few treats to eat, and fell asleep.

It was the next morning. The sun was peeking from the clouds, brightening up the world. The snow outside was glistening, it was a beautiful day. She woke and stretched, yawning. From the distance she heard exited screeches from a small animal. Confused, she sat by the door, trying to hear. She heard her owner's footsteps approach the door and she stepped back. The female owner put a small bit of fabric on her back and told her to sit, while handing her a piece of jerky. She chewed away happily, and her owner opened the door.

A large gasp came from the small animal she had heard, apparently a human pup. She tilted her head, and her tail began to wag. "How cute!" she thought. She trotted on over to the cute pup as it stared at her in awe. He nuzzled against the pup and the pup hugged her. They played around for a bit, having lots of fun. They played in the snow later, tiring themselves out.

Meeting this strange human pup was fun, and they will make countless fun memories together.

Name: Hyrule
Name Meaning(s): Named after the world of Legend of Zelda videogame franchise.
Gender: Male
Prompt:
Hyrule was nervous. He was always a bit of independent, but knowing he was going to meet his new family and home was something that no one could stay still with. He noticed how the car he has been travelling in stopped, and he quickly incorporated, perking his ears and looking around: where was he? He could hear dogs barking.
Soon, a young tanned woman came to greet his soon-to-be-previous owner, and they seemed to be talking a few things before the man handled her all Hyrule’s papers. Suddenly, the head of another dog appeared in front of him, making Hyrule step back surprised. Typhoon came to greet him! Soon, the door was open and he was brought out of the car. The tanned woman slowly approached her hand to Hyrule’s head, wanting to give him a soft pet. “We are your family now, little one… Guys, be polite and nice to the newcomer” The woman mumbled to the dogs that were now around them.
“Greetings!” –Typhoon said politely to Hyrule, wagging his tail– “Hope we can be good friends! I may be your guide through the place until you are comfy enough!”
“Erm… Hi…” –Hyrule slowly said, a bit shy and confused.
The human and Typhoon took him to a big house, where he had a special room only for him– “You’ll stay here for a while and for sleeping until you are adapted” –The human said leaving him without leash in it– “Only one thing left… I want to introduce you someone”
And minutes later, the human appeared with a cream female that gave a gentle smile to Hyrule. That’s how, Nuriel and him met. They would be penmates, and as both dogs recently joined the kennels, would make it easier for them to bond together and help each other to integrate in the pack.
It didn’t take long for Hyrule to be friends with Typhoon and Lucas, both dogs did their best to help Hyrule to feel at home as soon as possible, while how sweet Nuriel was; only made everything a little warmer. She always was there, licking him or worrying about him. Hyrule still had his independent personality, but now, he also had a friend that would go with him in his lonely patrols. He was at home at last.

Username: Luxio
Name: Olive
Name Meaning(s): The first name that popped into my mind! Her eyes reminded me of green olives
Gender: Female
Prompt: Olive couldn't stop moving; she circled around in her kennel in anticipation of meeting her new owner; it had been months since she was resting by the fireplace with friendly dogs by her side. A rescue kennels was no place for her, Olive was the type of dog to need a comforting hand on her fur, the faces that greeted her behind bars were simply not enough for her needs, however friendly they were. Olive couldn't help but notice the voices of the people at the rescue, they were talking about her! It was a long conversation but when it came to an end one of the workers came to olives kennel, to which she was greeted by a friendly lick from Olive.
"You've got a home girl!"
Home was the last thing that she knew before everything would become so dark, that's all she could remember, not the faces but the warm fire that would crackle away in the background as the soft embrace of the little girl she lived with filled her with warmth. After that, Olive couldn't sit still for days, she ate all of her food and was on the best of her behaviour. Finally, the time came. One of the workers slipped a leash over Olive's head, she could hear a faint whining from the meeting room. The worker opened the door and Olive saw the origin of the noise, with a happy yap and a wagging tail the two dogs greeted each other as the people shook hands. Olive bounded around the room happily almost pulling over the worker as she tugged the lead from her hands, "Haven" the new and unfamiliar person said softly, as the dog walked to their side, Olive was confused at first but soon followed suit which was met with a chuckle from who would be her new owner, who patted her on her head, handing over the signed adoption papers with a smile.

Name: Neon
Name Meaning(s): Chemical element, as well as an extremely bright and luminescent version of a color
Gender: Female
Prompt: Neon paced up and down the white picket fence next to a quaint little house. Neon had been a street dog all her life. She had been frequently visiting this house lately, because one day she had discovered a tasty bowl of meat left outside for her by the human who lived inside, and the next day she returned to find the same thing waiting for her. Ever since then she came back once a day to collect her delicious food. On this day, however, no bowl of food was present. She sniffed all over, searching by the grassy areas, the black road, and even in the back of the house, but it wasn’t there. Frustrated and hungry, Neon laid down by the fence and peered inside, hoping that the human would see her. But instead, another dog suddenly appeared inside the fence, running towards her. Neon sprang to her feet and started to growl, but the other dog was inside the fence so it couldn’t reach her. She was mostly white and wagged her tail gleefully at Neon. Feeling a bit more safe, Neon stuck her nose through the fence and the two collies sniffed each other. “Who did you find, Pochemuchka? Good girl. Don’t scare her.” Neon darted away at the sound of the voice and saw a human making her way over to them with a bowl of food in her hands. She patted the other white collie on the head. Neon was scared but the bowl of food smelled so good that she didn't completely run away. “Here girl… come here. Sorry I didn’t put your food out earlier.” She set the bowl of food down near her feet and opened the fence gate. Neon thought that surely the human must not be so scary if the white collie, Pochemuchka, trusted her. And the food did smell really good. She warily crept through the gate opening and when she got to the bowl of food she started wolfing it up. After she finished, she quickly left and heard the human say “Bye sweet girl, see you tomorrow!” This cycle continued for about a week before Neon decided that she didn’t want to leave anymore! She really enjoyed the company of her new owner and the other collies in her new home, especially Pochemuchka.

Name: GSK From The Moors Of Argyll // Conochie
Name Meaning(s): Named after the poem "The moors of Argyll" by Alfred de Breanski Sr and after a sept (division of a family) of the Clan Campbell who lived in Argyll, Scotland. Fun fact: The commonly known pattern of argyle derives from the tartan of Clan Campbell.
Gender: Female
Prompt:

Conochie paced excitedly back and forth in the large dog kennel she was in. She could tell today was different, the routine of the shelter staff was different, she could smell their excitement and their sadness. Mixed emotions about her leaving. It was just coming up to midday when the door to the kennels opened and a staff member walked in, alongside her was a young woman with shockingly bright ginger curly hair.

"She's just over here Miss Kasabian, i'll get her out for you" the staff member said as he opened up the kennel door and attempted to clip the leash onto the excited dog's collar. Conochie was not cooperating though, she was jumping against the metal barrier trying to get at Cosette.

"She's an excitable one isnt she" Cosette chuckled and watched the staff member struggle with Conochie. He was finally able to get the clip on underneath all that fluff and walked Conochie out the kennel before handing her off to Cosette. "I definitely agree with you there miss" he laughed nervously and led the two back out to the front desk.

Conochie was wagging her tail so much that her whole back side was wagging too, she bounced beside Cosette, jumping up and licking her hands. "Alright girl, i know, i know, i love you too" Cosette cooed trying to calm the dog down a little.

After all the information was double checked and sorted Cosette smiled and thanked the staff member before proudly walking her new dog out to the car. The two shared a moment of joy and hugging before making their way back home.

There was more excitement to come however, as Cosette pulled up in the driveway Conochie could hear another dog barking inside the house. She barked in response and the other dog went quiet for a moment before barking louder and more frequently.

Cosette took a deep breath as she led Conochie inside, from the smell alone Conochie could tell that the other dog was a young male. She surveyed her surroundings, silently appreciating the coziness of the house. Cosette gave some slack on the leash and pushed open a door that led into the lounge. The barking only increased as they entered, inside a travel cage in the center of the room was the male dog. He was stunning to look at, a beautiful masked blue and cream sable with some white markings. Cosette let Conochie sniff around the cage and let the two get to know each others scents for a little bit. Coxaise ceased barking and started wagging his tail and sticking his nose through the bars of the cage. "Coxaise, this is your new friend, Conochie. You best not be too boisterous around her, im pretty sure she's able to stand up for herself and be just as boisterous back" Cosette teased.

After a few minutes of sniffing, Cosette opened the travel cage and let Coxaise out. The two dogs were both the same height but Conochie had weight on her side (and a lot of fluff). The two played with each other for a while before Coxaise ran to the back door and barked. "Fine, lets go play outside" Cosette smiled, she was glad they were getting along so far, she unclipped the leash from Conochie's collar and opened up the back door. Conochie wagged her tail so fast it was a blur before bounding out into the back garden to chase Coxaise around.

The three of them had a lot of fun together and when the day was over, both of the dogs fell asleep on either side of Cosette, cuddled up underneath the warm duvet.

Conochie knew then that she had found her forever home.
