If not I shall still be applying for he/she/it in the end XD.

Picture: Image
Kennel number: F46
Name: Miner "Forty-Niner"
Breed: Impalla
Personality:
Miner is shy and very quiet, she is good at tinkering but doesn't enjoy working with others. She can make anything do anything if she wanted to, as long as you don't pressure her much. When Miner is pressured she feels like she can't do anything, and therefore doesn't even try. She is very unmotivated but when she starts to work she tries to finish the job, she stays quiet but can start to complain a bit. She doesn't like when people try to spend money on her, often trying to pay them back ten fold. She does love when people gift her though.

Miner loves to travel if not walking then by driving a car or, the best way, by train. She hates when random people sit so close but the rhythmic movement can almost put her to sleep. Naps in the car or train are the best kind of naps in the world.

History/Background:
Another day on her own, Miner was alone in her foot ball t shirt that had a giant "49" on the back. She curled up on a worn out brown couch as she looked at the newspaper on the ground. She knew she had a job to get to, but recently moving to her own house had her shooken up over the night. Though not scared of the dark she didn't like to be alone, the house was to empty. Her parents gave her the house when they left to retire but she didn't even like it when she was there.

She sighed and went back to her room, changing into a pair of jean overalls and black t shirt. Throwing on a pair of rubber boots she set out to work getting on her red bike, that she motorized herself, and drove off to work.

"Hey Jeff!" She called out as she drove herself into the drive way of the farm, her bike slowed to a stop in front of their house and she leaned it under the front window. "What we picking today Jeff?" she asked as she scratched behind her horn, stretching her arms to soak up the wakening sunlight. "Oh and a woman is coming by today, if you see her show her the ropes." He said as he lit up a cigarette and walked away.

Miner stood their dazed for a second, she had been the only help they needed at the farm and she only got the job because she was friends with the owner. To hire another person was surprising enough to make her shake her head in disbelief.

Picture: Image
Kennel number: P9
Name: Beau-Mei
Breed: Winged Ragdoll cat
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: Combined with Miner, Beau-Mei's design as well as Miner's are two designs I really love. I think they are rather cute together and contrast nicely.
Personality: Not one to get her wings dirty, Beau-Mei surprises quite a lot of people by working at the farm. Her wings are useful to carry things between the fields and farm house and being the only winged animal in miles she got the job to easily. Though she hates getting dirty she doesn't mind helping others, she actually loves working hard, as long as she doesn't sweat or get dirt on her wings.

She is very conservative about her feelings and tries to be the bravest one out of anybody around. She is terrified of being alone in the dark but she will keep it hidden as long as she can.

Beau-Mei loves to dance, she is always skipping, or at least have a special skip to her step.

History/Background:
"Kanny wait!" Beau-Mei yelled as she hung onto the door frame of her apartment. Down the hall a green and black teenage dragon hauled suitcases full of his own things, shirts and pants sticking out of the sides. "I told you, I'm not paying for the electric bill when you leave all the lights on!" He yelled back as he pushed the button for the elevator. Beau huffed and pulled herself back into her aparment when she realized the neighbors were staring at her in a silky night gown.
..
"I just can't tell him I'm scared, he would never let me live that one down." She growled, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a plate. " I suppose I'm going to have to get a job, and a new room mate..." Throwing some bacon on the plate and tossing it in the microwave she sat herself down at the counter and waited for it to cook, leaning on her elbows and resting her face on her hands she debated putting another ad in the paper. As the microwave beeped she grabbed her food and sat down with the paper. "maybe I ckan fin a job" she muffled as she chewed on her horribly cooked bacon.

"'Farm hands for hire, 4-6 PM shifts Tues -Thurs"

"Just my luck!" She exclaimed standing up and holding the paper victoriously in her hand. "I'll apply right away!... after breakfast" She stuffed her breakfast in her face and ran to her room to change her clothes. "What do you wear to a farm job interview?" She asked herself as she went through her clothing. "Nothing to frilly I spouse, but something that makes it look like you care about yourself!" She exclaimed as she pulled out some regular jeans and a nice casual blouse.

"So I have the job!?" She exclaimed clapping her hands together and smiling. "Yes Mam, you can start right now." The brown dog said as he pushed up his green cap. "Oh but I must get proper attire." She said tugging on her blouse. "Oh don't worry, my wife should have something to fix you up in." He said before shouting quite loudly for a Dianna, shocking Beau-Mei enough to make her hair stand on end.

A younger looking cream colored vixen walked into the door way, her blond curly hair tied in a bun. "Yes hun?"

Two minutes later Beau was in the field in a torn up pair of jeans and work shirt with the farm name on it. "This is our other worker Miner, shes the one who can fix anything." He said as he hooked his thumb in his overalls. "Introduce yourselves then start to work on picking the strawberries" He shouted as he had already walked half way back to the house.

Other: Her theme song is "Move it like this - Baha Men"





"Hi, I'm Miner, I guess this is the first day sense you are in t'e bosses clothes." Miner said as she held out a hand. "Beau-Mei, tis very nice to meet you." She said as she admired the Impalas large smooth horns. "So where do I begin?" Beau asked as she clapped her hands together and rubbed them, getting ready to get her hands into the work, without getting dirty of course.

"Well just up the hill is the strawberry patch, be careful though, it's pretty steep." The Impala said as she grabbed onto the tough grass and started to pull herself up. Beau looked at the grass and her freshly clipped nails, she didn't want to get grass stains all over her fur. Spreading out her wings she took a step back and jumped into the air, she laughed as she grabbed the impala by the under arms avoiding the horns and lifted her up the hill. Miner blushed three different shades of red as she felt the cat grab her. "Please you don't have to I'm sure I'm to heavy!" She exclaimed as she scrambled to get back on her feet. "Naw, light as a feather, besides, have you seen my wings? I don't even feel my own weight because of these obnoxiously giant wings." Beau-Mei said, gently setting the nervous girl on the ground. She landed beside her and quickly preening her feathers as she closed her large wings.

Miner was shocked that she hadn't noticed how large her wingspan actually was, they almost dragged along the ground. "Pretty aren't they?" Beau asked as she noticed how much the impala was staring. "Oh I um, I didn't mean to!" She exclaimed her face starting to match the strawberries that surrounded them. "How bout we get to work then!" She said grabbing a large wicker basket and bending down to start picking. "Yea!" Miner said, hurrying to grab a basket and start filling it up.


Their baskets were full and the sun was up, heating the air until it was dense and hot. "Now when you go down make sure you get a good footing, strawberries don't come out very well if you trip and fall into the basket." She said as she began to shuffle down the hill. "Have you forgotten already?" Beau-Mei asked, her wings folded together above her head shielding her from the heat. "Wha-hey!" Miner almost lost her balance as the basket was grabbed from her by her new flying friend, taking all the strain out from her shoulders. "I can fly~" She called, sticking out her tongue. Miner smiled, "Put it by the house!" She yelled as she stumbled back onto the hill top. "Will do~"

The work day had finished, Jeff and Dianna had given them supper but as the sun was setting both of the girls walked to their bikes. "So yours is motorized?" Beau-Mei asked as she looked at the red bike with a large motor attached to the back. "Well um, yea I just, yea." Miner blushed and looked at Beau's bike, "Yours is very nice as well." she said pointing at the powder blue bike that had flowers wrapped around the handle bars. "Ah this old thing? It was given to me by my old roommate but it was to boy looking so I girl-ed it up." Beau looked at the sunset, "I should get rid of it, my room mate left me yesterday with all the bills so that's why I got this job" Beau forced a smile, taking a hold of her handle bars. "So um, if you, I mean are you um. I if, if you are going to look for a room mate, I am looking for a place to stay...if you don't mind, I really don't want to-" The rest of the sentence was blocked as Beau tackled Miner in a hug, "Yes yes yes! You can come over tonight! If you aren't busy!" She exclaimed jumping back, the bright smile on her face almost glowing like an angel to Miner.

It was a short trip but by the time they got to apartment it was nightfall. "Come on hurry." Beau said, ushering her new friend into the apartment as the street lights turned on. "I'm room 632, nice street view." She said as she pushed the button for the elevator. "Um I was-"
"Would you like to stay the night?" Beau asked before Miner could say anything.

I am looking to adopt...
Image
Kennel number:
P126

Name:
Gentle Breeze ((A.K.A Breeze, Breezie, Gentle))

Breed:
Hokkaidō Wolf

...Yes, it says they are exctint. And yes again, she is one of them. Do you know why? Read her history...

CLICK ME FOR A PICTURE!
Check out this cool picture too!

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Wow, what a great question! Well, first of all, who would not want this beautiful little girl! Her color tones are soft, almost pastel. The colors I like. Shes not too light, or dark. She is perfect in every way possible. Her long, slender muzzle just fits in with the breed of extinct wolf I was looking for a character too be. I would spend all my money on my paypal too buy her wonderful artwork on many different art sites I know. I would also design her a anthromorphic side, and she would be made into a stuffed animal. I also have easy access too one of the best artists' I know {we leave like a hour away} and im sure she would be honored too draw a picture of Breeze! Trust me, she would be in good hands... I have loved her since the first moment she was donated, but silly me, I had my eye on someone else. But I tell you this, I regretted it very much so, and I am so glad she is still here today for me too try my wits at getting. Thank you judges, for taking the time too read my form. </3

Tasha's got my permission to change p46's gender. c: I also asked Tiki to remove the gender preferences from his kennel, so, just in case, there's no confusion.

No, it's optional. c: It just bolsters your form a little bit when it's done right - unfortunately, a lot of people think that just coloring in free lineart works... and that actually hurts them when I judge, because that goes against thread rules. :/

I am looking to adopt and totally fawn over...
Picture: Image &

Kennel number:
P9

Name:
"Pretty Kitty" but I'd like to rename her Asteri, which means "star" in Greek.

Breed:
Winged Feline

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
She will be definitely an RP charrie and my feline fursona, as well as a companion for my canine fursona Skullduggery 8D

Personality:
Calm
She's never really been one to play. She'd rather sit somewhere and just enjoy the sights and scents of a home in the middle of the wilderness. Despite this, she doesn't mind a quick game of air tag with Skullduggery every now and again, but for the most part she'd rather sleep, watch, and study.

Curious
Despite being unable to read, she loves to learn by observation. She's constantly finding new things to learn about and investigate, and when she does she gives it 110%.

Optimistic
No matter the situation, she tries to find the good. Like all others, she had her moments of sadness, but she tries to keep her head up and find the silver lining.

Friendly
Asteri is very easy to get along with. She's a very good listener and enjoys hearing other's stories of their lives and adventures.

Adventurous
This goes hand in hand with her curiousity and hunger for knowledge. She loves the exhiliration of finding new places to explore and learn about, making her always ready to set out on long trips to unknown regions.

Brave
The term "scaredy cat" definitely does not apply to her. Granted, she won't rush headfirst into a situation that will get her killed, but she won't flee from small spooks either. it takes a lot to send her bolting back to Skullduggery's side.

Likes:
+Quiet, polite people, animals, and children.
+Serene, wide open spaces.
+Lakes and waterfalls.
+High places she can perch on.
+Sunsets and nighttime.
+Nature overall.
+Long trips/vacations to unknown places.
+Sushi o3o
+Loyal friends.
+Techno music, some rock like Breaking Benjamin.

Dislikes:
-Loud, boisterous, rude people.
-Extremely loud rap/hip hop music. She's extremely picky about rock and alternative.
-Rabbits.
-Crowded places, especially cities.
-Not very fond of fireworks, too loud.
-Getting wet. Definitely not her forte.
-Vegetables. I mean she's a cat, come on lol

History/Background:
Ah, alright. (Want to sleep T^T) Hmm....

Why did they leave me here? I had such a nice life, and I was a good companion, wasn't I? Asteri looked through the bars of her kennel, watching her old owner leave without so much as looking back. Her ears dropped and her shoulders slumped. Sighing, she moved back to the soft black and pink cat bed that smelled of cheap laundry detergent. She laid down and closed her eyes. If she focused hard enough, she could catch the musky scent of earlier cats who had called this a home....

**All was quiet. The sun shone through the emerald leaves, turning the ground into a dancing mottled pattern of light and dark, illuminating parts of the tall green grass. There was a gentle breeze, just enough to stave off the summer heat and cause the grass to wave lazily. A mouse sat on the nearest tree root, happily munching on one of the last seeds of spring, the little furry body making tiny squeaks and chirps of contentment. So happy enjoying the sweet sunflower seeds from the cabin's garden, it did not notice the shadow slowly creeping towards it. Walking slowly, her belly fur brushing the ground and her blue-tinged wings tucked carefully against her back. She crept, waiting, unnaturally patient as she gauged the right moment to pounce. She saw it approaching; wait for it, wait for it, there! The small mouse blinked once and Asteri pounced, trapping the small body underneath her paw. The small creature squeaked and squealed wath alarm, desperately trying to free itself from death's grip.

"It's alright, little one," she meowed quietly, her purple eyes softening despite the fact that she new the animal couldn't understand her. "Your time is not with me." Smiling to herself, Asteri lifted her blue gradient paw and allowing the mouse to scurry once more into the underbrush and live another day. She liked it that way.

Stretching her lean, graceful form, Asteri yawned and beat her wings, flapping upwards until she reached the lowest branch on a neighboring pine tree. From there she used a combination of her wings and claws, climbing ever closer to the top of the ancient pine. Finally after much effort, she perched herself precariously on the uppermost branches. Being able to climb the tallest tree in the forest had its perks. From here, she could look out over the tops of the trees for miles. In the far distance she could see the towering skyscrapers of the city, a very different world from the country life she was used to. Looking around again, she saw the sparkling lake, the rippling water shining brilliantly in the late afternoon sunlight, disturbed only by the occasional aquatic life or rare fisherman making his way back home. Turning to the nearby trees, she could see the hawk's nest some distance away; the mother was out finding food for her chicks. Soon they'd be strong and dangerous hunters. Asteri sighed happily, she hoped this never changed.

"Asteri! Come for dinner!" She heard her human call from the cabin near to her location. Spreading her wings, Asteri leaptand glided down slowly, landing perfectly at her owner's feet, meowing happily as she tucked her wings again. The woman smiled at the feline as she opened the door, the homey scent of the cabin greeting Asteri's sensitive nose. Trotting briskly over to her blue and silver ceramic food dish, the winged feline crouched and ate the dry, flavorful pieces, purring loudly as she allowed the young woman to pet her. After she had eaten her fill, Asteri wandered over to the couch and laid down lazily, curling up near her favorite pillow for a nice long nap before midnight arrived....

Suddenly Asteri was startled awake by the sound of a slamming door and raised voices. "I can't believe this!" A new male voice said. "They told me that I wasn't going to be moving again, that I could serve the rest of my time here. But no, guess what I got today? New orders! They're moving me out to California. California! I spent my entire life trying to get away from that place, only to be forced to live there once more until I leave the military!" The man continued to curse and rant, throwing the papers against the wall in anger. Asteri sat up and gave a soft meow.

"It's ok hun," the woman said, moving towards the man and hugging him, laying her head against his shoulder. As soon as we're done, we'll move again. We don't have alot so it's no trouble at all. I'll ask my parents to take care of the cabin while we're gone, they have enough money."

"Annie, it will be another four years."

"That's alright," she replied. "They love this place as much as we do."

The man gave her a sad look. "There are no animals allowed. We can't take Asteri, Neon, or Harvey with us. They have to go." The woman looked stricken; these were her babies, her best friends while he was overseas! She looked down as she started to cry. "I know," the man said, hugging her and rubbing her shoulder. "I love them too, but I can't do anything. The only way to keep them is for you to stay here."

"No," she said. "But I'll have to trust that their next owner will take as good care of them as I have."

The rest of the night and throughout the next morning, a grim silence hung over the two and became increasingly worse as they loaded the animals into the truck and drove into town. Handing over the two to one of the shelter staff, the woman turned and quickly left before she could break down again. She only prayed that their next owner would be good to them.

Just she'll have a silver bracelet on her left forepaw and a silver heart pendant. That's all o3o

Satira, you may want to add a history. ^.^;; We put a lot of stock in personality and history; the more thought out the personality and history are, the better your chances. Plus, history can really show the personality in action, which really helps your chances. :3
