Introduction
Many cruel people abandon there dogs and cats on streets or in the woods. They are left with no hope and no one to give them a second chance. So many pets wander from place to place barely alive and sadden that there owners have tossed them away. Others were abused and escaped from the cruel life to only have a harder time surviving. Most of these poor animals die on the streets, struck by cars, or even shot to death.
You're one of these poor souls abandon and mistreated. Traveling miles on the streets with no hope in sight. It seems the world has forgotten all about you or shuns you from happiness. One day as you travel looking for food and water or whatever you can get, you stumble upon an old house. This house is away from the streets and city it just seems to be there on the outskirts.
Carefully you make your way to the house maybe there's food you think. The paint is peeling and the windows are broken it smells as no human has lived there in a real long time. But still you draw closer and closer to the house as you notice a new smell coming from the supposedly abandon house. You notice the smell of food and your already hungry belly compels you to get food. Circling the house to find an entrance you notice an old white fence with large trees on inside of fence. The rotting fence wood barely hangs there and your malnourished body easily slips through old fence and through the thick tree brush.
As you cautiously peer through you see that the garden is neat as though humans have tend to it. You notice its huge area as though it somehow grew in size. As you look around you see a large, wooden table filled with food, but no one is around. Looking around you see no one and the food makes your starving belly growl more ferociously. Carefully you sneak your way to the food to grab a bite. That's when someone shouts "HEY!" You instantly flee to the brush, but you get tangled in the branches.
Struggling to get away, but poor body conditions are not helping and you almost instantly tire out. You here foot steps behind you draw closer to you and move bushes out the way to see a human, but then again its not a human. This human has the ears of a dog (or cat) they merely smile and untangle you from the branches. They look at you with gentle eyes and small smile across there face.
"Hello stray." The friendly dog human (or cat human) says to you. "You're so lucky to find this place. I would like to welcome you to the Home." Very much confused you ask what is the "Home." They explain that the "Home" is a place where strays can come to live there rest of there lives or until they find a permanent home. Its a sanctuary where dog and cats can get a second chance at life. The reason they could find the place was because of a special gift in them that allows them to see the "Home" for what it truly is.
As you look over to the old house you see its actually a big mansion. He or she smiles and tells you that you can come and stay in a dorm. Where cats and dogs are separated in these rooms as well as separated by girls and guys. They then hand you a collar that allows you to turn into a dog human (or cat human) as well as back to your original form. You are also free to come and go as you please as well as hide your dog ears (or cat ears) from humans when your in your human form. Which also allows you to work in human society to help support the "Home."
You're a normal human who has been working and living a normal life (or not, its up to you). You're heading home (or going to work) when you notice a person with dog ears and dog tail (or cat ears and cat tail) at first you think its just someone dressing up and you think nothing about it. Then the ears move and so does the tail that's when you think its strange, but you still think its nothing maybe there just moveable parts in them so you continue on your day with not much care.
The next day you begin to see more and more of these dog humans (and/or cat humans). When you ask your fellow co-workers or friends to see what the person is wearing. They don't see it and they say its your eyes playing tricks on you. However this is not true because more and more are coming up. Then it comes to the point where you're tired of them not believing you and you follow one of them.
You follow the creature to an old house that seem abandon, but as you look closer you see its not abandon instead right before you're eyes you see its actually a huge mansion. One of the dogs (or cats) see you in shock as they know you can clearly see the house. That's when you're invited in. The mansion is big and beautiful with many of these creatures running around. They explain its a sanctuary for strays who can see this place. Begging you to keep this place a secret you agree to it knowing no one would believe you for know.
You're welcomed to visit them if you wish or completely ignore what you just saw. They just wish for you to keep this a secret from as many humans as possible. Now its up to you to either keep this place a secret or tell people. Although they may not see this place for what it truly is right away.

Kira heard her try to talk and sob at the same time, and started to feel sorry for her. "Takuto, she's gonna cry... What should I do?" Kira let go of her ears and went over to her. She put a smile on her face and clasped her hands behind her back. "I'm Kira. This is Home." She looked at Jace with a smile on her face. "Jace, I think she's a nice human! But, I also think she should keep this place secret..." She went back to Takuto and held his hand. 'I wonder if she'll keep this place a secret?'
Takuto heard the girl talk and thought to himself all the while. 'She looks like she won't tell anyone... But, those sobs looked kind of forced.....' Kira went to him and said, "Takuto, I think she's gonna cry... What should I do?" Before he could reply to her, she let go of her ears and walked over to the girl. 'Kira! What are you doing?' He watched her put a smile on her face and clasp her hands. 'She's nervous....' "I'm Kira. This is Home. Jace, I think she's a nice human! But I also think she should keep this place a secret..." Takuto watched her come back to him and held her hand. 'My poor sister.... When will she ever learn..?'

Scarlet was watching Blyss and tried to get her back in the bush, when she followed her gaze to the house. She narrowed her blue eyes, seeing it change, then go back to the abandoned look. What the...
She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Blyss hissed, her eyes snapping back to her cat friend to see another cat near her friend. Protective as always, she jumped out of the bush and pounced on Moss, growling loudly.

"I promise, I won't tell a soul. Is there anything you want me to pick up at the store?" her tone was sincere, and she looked up at the man, shivering gently and naturally leaning back, being unused to close quarters.

"Scar, don't." Scarlet paused at Blyss' voice, but never moved from her position over the male cat. "We.... Where are we?" Blyss directed the last question at Moss, knowing Scarlet wouldn't move off of him until she was sure he was safe.

Jace looked over to Angel. "Anything you can afford so long as its meat." He then backed off seeing as close quarters were making her uncomfortable.

Blyss' eyes widened just like Scarlet's as Moss transformed, but instead of thinking, she said her thoughts outloud. "How'd you do that?" She looked back at her foot and tried to put it down, hissing when pain shot through. Ow, she thought and lifted her leg up and frowning. Then she looked back up as she remembered something he said. "We can stay here?"

Jace nodded and went back to where his food was. Collected his now cold breakfast and went through the kitchen to the gardens. He didn't know why he did what he did only that he did. Calmly he found a quiet place under a tree where he sat and continue to finish his breakfast in peace. Once finished he turned into his dog form to lay down and enjoy the calm and quietness of the gardens.
"Hey, are you alright? Do you live here?" she noticed his ears and looked quizzical, but took a half step forward. "Do you need help...?"

"Hey, are you alright? Do you live here?" she noticed his ears and looked quizzical, but took a half step forward. "Do you need help...?" Moss looked over to where the voice was coming from. He saw a human girl and from what she said she could clearly see the 'Home' smiling as big as he could. "I think we're okay. I just thought these nice cat and dog could come and stay with us." Moss looked back to the pair. "So are you willing to stay with us?"

Kira watched the girl leave the house. She felt happy inside, knowing that even though someone had seen them, she would keep their Home a secret from outsiders. "Hey Takuto, that Angel human seemed really nice, right?" Kira smiled happily and took a leftover sausage link off the plate. "Mmm! It's good!" She got a glass of water and drank her fill. Kira then went outside the house to go play in the sun. "Ahh, it feels so nice and warm..!"
Takuto saw the girl leave the house. "Hey Takuto, that Angel human seemed really nice, right?" He smiled at his sister and replied, "Indeed..." He looked over at Cody, who had been standing there for a while. "Hey Cody, think you can make some more sausage links?" Takuto saw Kira take a sausage link off a plate then go outside to play. 'Geez.... Kira's gonna get a sunburn if she doesn't put sunscreen....' He got a glass of water and had to refill it three times. He smiled to himself and thought, 'I better go get the sunblock before she gets a burn...

Blyss knew Scarlet was gonna have a long talking with her, especially for jumping out of the bush. But right now, she didn't care. These people, animals, whatever they were had a house and a food that they were willing to extend to them, who would pass that up? Blyss watched Angel just like Scar did, except she watched in curiousity. "These humans seem nice Scar," she murmured to Scarlet, but she didn't notice because she had her full attention on watching the human. Moss looked back to the pair. "So are you willing to stay with us?" Blyss looked back at Moss when he addressed them. She wasn't sure what to say, but a quick glance over at Scarlet showed that she wasn't even paying attention. Blyss looked back up at the not-so-abandoned house only to see that it didn't look old anymore... it looked like a mansion! So the animals turn into humans, they have a mansion that looks like an old cabin, and they have food and rooms... Should we take it? Blyss was nervous, but she hesitantly nodded to Moss' question. "Sure..."

Then remembering the noise that had woken her up she asked out loud, "What went on here?" pulling the oversized hoody to cover her up.

Kira stayed outside for a while, feeling the sun on her skin. "Ahhh, it feels so warm! I only Takuto could come out and play with me sometimes..." She went back into the house and passed by Cody. She kept walking and went to the kitchen. Kira went over to Takuto, who had decided to sit in a chair and put his head on the table. "Takuto! Let's go out! Come on! I wanna play!" She pulled at his shirt and knocked on his head. "Ta-ku-to! Let's play!"
Takuto stayed in the kitchen and sat in a chair. He put his head down and decided to rest for a bit. When he heard Kira come in, he pretended like he didn't hear her. He felt her pulling at his shirt and knock on his head. "Takuto! Let's go out! I wanna play!" He moaned slightly to show that he didn't feel like going outside. She kept pulling at him, though. "Ta-ku-to! Let's play!" Takuto smiled inside, knowing how much she wanted to play with him. 'She'll leave me alone eventually.... Maybe...'
