Think of it as a contemporary asexual romance story with talking animal adventure story thrown in the middle of it. I hope to make it fun and entertaining. Enjoy!","content":"Mavery curled up in her kennel, trying to sleep off her depression.\u0026nbsp; She'd been at this shelter for \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;18 long weeks and no human had seen fit to adopt her.\u0026nbsp; She was depressed because she really wanted a good and stable home.\n\n  \n\nMeanwhile, \u0026nbsp;Iyke was attacking his food dish playfully. “Today's the day, Maves, I can smell it\"\n\n  \n\n“Maybe for you\"\n\n  \n\n“Aw, don't be that way.\"\n\n  \n\n“Why not?\"\n\n  \n\n“Tell ya what. When I get adopted, I won't leave unless they take you with me, okay? That way we get to be \u0026nbsp;like brother \u0026nbsp;and sister and best friends of course\"\n\n  \n\n“Thanks, Iyke.\u0026nbsp; You're a pal\" Mavery said brightening a bit.\u0026nbsp; Iyke was adorable and full of energy and upbeat attitude it was hard to stay depressed around him too long. \u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n\nThe door opened.\n\n  \n\n“Oooh, Humans! Put on your happy face, Maves\"\n\n  \n\nBry and Kells were seeing each other for \u0026nbsp;3 years and wanted to bring their relationship to the next level.\u0026nbsp; Both women agreed that a puppy was the way to go. So they stopped by the shelter.\u0026nbsp; Bry wanted a sporting dog, one with energy who she could take on her morning runs. Kells wanted a \u0026nbsp;working dog that they could trust to protect them at night.\n\n  \n\nSo they agreed to get a mutt from a shelter and hope it was in the cards that they find what they both wanted and needed.\u0026nbsp; Torush, who was a short Indian gentleman, and the owner of the shelter lead them to the first of the four kennels in the large no-kill shelter that never seemed to have enough space but never turned a pup in need away.\n\n  \n\nBatz, a doberman/australian shepherd\u0026nbsp;mix in the kennel next to Mavery, spoke up, “I bet they'll pick me, not either of you, two runts.\u0026nbsp; Look \u0026nbsp;can't you tell \u0026nbsp;they want a guard dog?\"\n\n  \n\n“Psh, \u0026nbsp;whatever, can you smell the sweat and look at that one's legs, I bet she wants a fun dog to play and run with, like me!\" Iyke retorted. \u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n\nAll the dogs were barking loudly, \u0026nbsp;as the prospective owners walked the halls of \u0026nbsp;Kennel A. All the dogs, of course…. Except for Mavery. She lay her head on her paws and looked up, pathetically sad. Kells saw her. \u0026nbsp;“Oh look, Bry, \u0026nbsp;this one is adorable\"\n\n  \n\n“Oh, I don't know…\" Bry looked at the label tag on her cage.\n\n  \n\nMavery.\u0026nbsp; German Shepherd/Golden Retriever Mix. 18 months old.\u0026nbsp; Female.\n\n  \n\n“She doesn't look like a runner or a guard dog. What about him?\"\n\n  \n\nBry was gesturing to Batz in the cage next to Mavery.\n\n  \n\n“I suppose,\" \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Kells said as \u0026nbsp;Bry's attention was stolen by \u0026nbsp;Iyke's high energy tricks. \u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n\n“You're a ball of energy, aren't ya .. Iyke?\" she said as she looked at his label.\n\n  \n\nIyke. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Terrier/??? Mix. Definite Mutt.\u0026nbsp; Male. \u0026nbsp;9 months old. \u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n\nTorush came in and checked on them. \u0026nbsp;“See any you love?\"\n\n  \n\n“Yes!\"\n\n  \n\n“Great!\"\n\n  \n\nAnd at the same time, Kells and Bry replied,\n\n  \n\n“That one!\"\n\n“These two!\"\n\n  \n\nBry looked at her girlfriend. “Two? Kells, \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;we agreed on one dog\"\n\n  \n\n“But what if they get lonely?\"\n\n  \n\n“Then we get two, maybe, \u0026nbsp;but we can't afford \u0026nbsp;three!\"\n\n  \n\n“Well you shouldn't have shown me, Batz\"\n\n  \n\n“Bat-- oh the doberman mix.\" Bry sighed, “What \u0026nbsp;is it about the girl dog that has you so attached to her?\"\n\n  \n\n“I don't know. I just … connected with her\" Kells said as she waved at Mavery, who was sitting up, ears perked a little, tail twitching, hope in her eyes.\n\n  \n\n“Look at that face!\u0026nbsp; You can't say no to that face!\"\n\nBry turned and looked at the hopeful Mavery. Then the enthusiastic, \u0026nbsp;Iyke, and the protective stance of \u0026nbsp;Batz,\u0026nbsp;who was a full-year-old.\u0026nbsp; Mavery was the oldest being a little over a year.\u0026nbsp; It would make them hard but not impossible to train.\u0026nbsp; But she couldn't say no to any of them.\"\n\n  \n\n“How much for the three of them?\"\n\n  \n\nTorush grinned. \u0026nbsp;“For those three? How about an even 300. Including shots, spaying fees and vet insurance up to a year.Then you'll have to renew of course.\"\n\n  \n\nBry and Kells looked at each other and smiled back at Torush. \u0026nbsp;“Done,\" they said in unison again.\n\n  \n\n“I'll get the paperwork…\"\n\n\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_","series":{"name":"Shelter Dogs: A Non-Yiff Puppy Adventure","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1247596-bringing-home-the-new-additions.json"}}
