History of the Plague Hound (caninae pestis):
Centuries after the first Black Death plague died down, cases began to spring up once more. Soon, the whole world was facing certain death as the disease spread. Instead of mere rats scampering around spreading the pestilence, genetically altered mice dubbed 'Death's Door' were the cause. Death's Door Mouse's origin is unknown, but they were nasty and hazardous creatures. These mice could only be slain by large quantities of radioactive waste. Desperate to end their people's suffering, the governments of all the countries came together as one to create a creature that could vanquish the mice.
The result was the Plague Hound.
A report from a German scientist working on the project described the hounds in detail:
These creatures carry the radioactive materials in their bloodstream and saliva. Their skulls are covered under a 'plague doctor' mask, a head covering that was used by doctors in the 14th century who tried to treat the plague. Little is known what lies under their sacred mask. A mutant face? A twisted muzzle? It is unknown. When they bite down into the Death's Door Mouse, the radioactive waste is transferred into the mutant animals veins and they are killed instantly. I believe that this may be the only hope for humanity to survive.
The invention of the Plague Hound was ingenious, but a problem soon arose. The creatures were harmful to humans because of the radioactive material running through their veins and mouth. They needed people willing to lay their life down to guide these creatures to the mice. These people are called 'Saviours'. Few are chosen to lead these hounds, and it is an honour to do so. These people are treated like heroes to their countries and the world.
So the question is, do you have what it takes to become a Saviour?
Notes from a Russian scientist showed more insight to the breeds of Plague Hounds:
There are two types of Plague Hounds: Hawks and Crows.
They are very similar. They both resemble a fox and have the same amount of radioactivity in their bodies. Their masks are always lighter than their pelt, and their markings range from freckled to tabby, a wide variety. They both are very good at their jobs and are focused during working hours. Both Hawks and Crows like attention, and are very loyal. They both will only choose one Saviour in their whole lives. After their Saviour has died, they usually will have the radioactive waste drained out of their bodies and they will work with the plague victims or retire to a life of comfort in a sanctuary.
Hawks are the more common Plague Hounds. They have short beaks and wings that look as if they are decaying. They have a keen sense of smell and are known for their cat-like ears. Their pelts are usually on the lighter tone, but that isn't always the case. Hawks are friendly and kind to all, despite their menacing appearance. They are the size of a golden retriever once full grown, and it can take up to 30 years until they reach full height. They are very loyal to their Saviour, and never question a word that he or she says. Hawks like a good stomach rub from time to time. They live between 74 and 140 years.
NOTE: There have been recent mishaps in the labs that have concluded in the creation of wingless Hawk Plague Hounds. These creatures are extremely rare, for only some can pass the training. There is no way to tell what went wrong when creating these hounds, but it doesn't seem to affect them for the exception of not being able to fly. The wingless are usually put in ground patrols with Crows.
Crows are less common than Hawks. Their beaks are long and lean, and they have large hollow eyes peering out of their head. They have skinny legs and a fluffy tail. They are about the size of a greyhound when they full grown. It can take between 40-50 years before they reach full height. These creatures are known for their fierce loyalty and seriousness on the job. They are friendly only to their Saviour and the sick. They are solitary and do not like to be with other Plague Hounds. Crows prefer darkness to light, and do not like the daytime. Their fur is usually darker than Hawks, but this isn't always the case. If you see a Crow and a Saviour on the street, steering clear of them is your best bet. They live between 122-180 years.

Rules for Saviours and Saviours in Training:
- You may never abandon your Plague Hound. It has given its loyalty and its life to you, and you may never break your promise.
- You will never sell or trade away your Hound without my consent and the artist's consent. Trading away a Plague Hound is risky, for sometimes that other person does not meet the PH's needs.
- You may take the hound's design off-site, but always credit it's Scientist and you cannot take the direct lines of.
- Freebies cannot be taken off site.
- You can have up to three Plague Hounds at any given time.
- Do not beg or ask to become a Scientist if the forms aren't open for them.
- You can never use the designs as profit for yourself except if it was a custom.
- Never claim the background information, Plague Hound Adoptables, designs, or anything from this adoptable centre as your own.
- Enjoy your Hound and treat it with respect and care.

Customs:
Sometimes Scientists let the public have a few Plague Hounds of their own. These hounds are the same as any other, except for the fact that they do not carry any radioactive material in their blood stream or saliva. Having no hazardous waste in these Plague Hounds keeps the normal citizens safe, but also happy. These non-toxic hounds are sometimes called DPH, or Dry Plague Hounds. Feel free to request one to be made, but just know that the Scientists may be too busy or too tired to create a pet of your liking. Please note that making a DPH takes time and money for the governments, so they will ask you to pay a small fee of 2 wishlist pets to the head researcher, The Doctor. If there are any questions or complications, send a letter (or a PM) to him and he will gladly answer your questions.
