[-The Dark Heart Alley-]
A young woman, dressed in the latest scene fashion, turned down and alley and stopped at a worn, wooden door. She entered her house and first to greet her as she stepped in was a grey-blue longhair pup, Gunner. She scooped him into her arms and carried him into the kitchen, passing various other cats and dogs on her way. There were many of them, and plenty of room for them to live and interact comfortably. She was their caretaker, and this was their Haven, The Dark Heart Alley.

[-Gunner-]
Name: Gunner
Gender: Male
Breed: Longhair
Mate: Too young
Personality: Gunner is fun loving and innocent. He's not quite fully aware of the ways of life and just wants to be everyones friend, whether they be cats or dogs. He's a loyal friend and always wants to be there for each and every one of them. It's easy to say he's a lovable little guy.
History: He only remembers dark skies and cold rain, and the smell of wet cardboard. He was miserable; didn't know where his mom was, hungry, and freezing. He can remember shivering, blanking in and out of consciousness, and then the feeling of warm hands. He was tucked into warm cloth, near a human. He could smell strongly that the human was female, but soon fell asleep in the warmth she radiated.
When he woke he was laying in a large armchair, wrapped in striped blankets and dry. He blinked a few times and looked around. The house was sporadically decorated, but cozy. A strong scent wafted towards him and he followed it to find the human who had rescued him in the kitchen. She was cooking what he smelled to be chicken.
He tottered up to he leg and yipped. He remembered her saying something he couldn't understand, but it was kind, caring, warm. She put a bowl on the ground. Chicken and rice...
It steamed and burned on the way down, but it didn't bother the pup and he gulped it down as fast as he could. When he had finished she scooped him up and took him to a dog-bed, and over it hung a white wooden sign with black handwritten letters. "Gunner"

[-Heru-]
Name: Heru
Gender: Male
Breed: Jack Russel
Mate: Love
Personality: Heru is a very quiet dog, though friendly. He's still traumatized by the loss of both of his parents and hardly talks because of it, and when he does his voice is soft from lack of use. He wouldn't object to the odd friendly company, but is perfectly fine with being alone.
History: Heru sat at the lake's edge, watching the water fowl swim carelessly. He was in the park, not caring for the people who passed by. Sitting here, the sun setting a lighting up his fur in brilliant colors, it brought memories back to him.
His parents were old when he was born. They'd had no luck with conceiving until this miracle birth, and it resulted in only one pup, Heru. He knew it was awkward for his parents to be so old, and other pups on the street often pointed it out to him, but he loved his parents and that was all that mattered, for he was a sparky little guy and nothing could get him down for long.
Heru could remember the last day he saw his father. His mother had died months before of old age, and though both were severely hurt, they continued there lives. But this day... it was different. He sat with his dad in this very spot, over looking the newborn ducklings. His father seemed upset about something, and it was unsettling to the young pup. What could have made him so quiet? And then he spoke;
"The sunset sure is beautiful tonight." His voice was heavy with sadness.
"Yeah, Dad." Heru responded simply, befuddled.
"I'm glad. It's a perfect end."
"What are you talking about, Dad?" Heru looked up at the old Jack Russel, his brows furrowed.
"Heru, son... There comes a time in every dog's life where he must pass on to greater things. Your grandparents reached this time... Your mother reached this time... And I'm afraid that now I, too, have reached that time. I can feel it in my bones, Heru, it's my time to go."
"No!" Heru stood, tears coming to his eyes. "No you can't!"
"I must. I cannot control fate. It is my time to go, and someday, regretfully, it will be yours too. But know this, I love you, your mother loved you, and someday, you'll find a mate that loves you, and we'll always love you, no matter what."
His father passed away that night. Heru, frightened, alone, and sad, learned how to live on his own. He was quiet, but still friendly. Socializing was less frequent, and soon he was just a silent dog on his own, watching life pass by and waiting for his time to come.
He currently passes in and out of Dark Heart Alley, eating with the other dogs and taking shelter from the weather, but then disappears again to who knows where.

[-Santos-]
Name: Santos
Gender: Male
Breed: Collie
Mate: None
Personality: Santos is the kind, goofy guy everyone in the neighborhood knows. He's protective when it comes to the other animals at Dark Heart Alley, and would demolish anything in his path for a close, even loved, friend.
History: Santos came to Dark Heart on a rainy night, his white fur soaked and hanging off his muscular frame. Not much is known about his past, for he refused to share it with any of the others, not even the two other collies that appeared not much later. All anyone knows is that he's got a close bond with the little pup Gunner, and would eventually make a great father.
