Hey there! Welcome to the state of Florida, also known as the Sunshine State. Here, the best strays live! Though, there are some problems here, minor and major, but that doesn't stop us dogs from living the lives that we want to. For your sake, here are some things about Florida.
The Everglades are near here well, because we live in South Florida. The Everglades is a dangerous place and we don't go there unless you're wishing for a death wish. Now, here is the Wildlife around us. Some are predatory, others are easy prey for us!
Wildlife
There are Alligators, Crocodiles, Pythons and Boa Constrictors (which were released illegally), Bobcats, Panthers, Pumas, Cougars, Jaguars, Foxes, Coyotes, Deer, and occasionally a Black Bear that traveled here from Ocala. There are Red Wolves, which I am part Red Wolf, but they are close to extinct so we don't see them much.
Then there are some annoying animals like the Skunks, Weasels, Minks, Otters, Raccoons, Mice, Chipmunks, Squirrels, Rats, Voles, Beavers, Gophers, Capybaras, Pigs, Armadillos, Rabbits, Oppossum, Shres, Bats Muskrats, and Moles.

Meadow and Woodland Vole.
Eastern and Mexican Gray, Southern Flying, and Fox Squirrel.
Red, Sambar, and White-Tailed Deer.
Black-tailed, Eastern Cottontail, Marsh and Swamp Rabbits.
Southeastern, and Short-tailed Shrew,
Eastern and Star-Nosed Mole.

Atlantic Spotted, Bottle-nose, Common, Risso's, Spinner, Rough-Toothed, and Striped Dolphins.
Sorry about the long, list, but I want you all to be prepared. None of you want to be gobbled up by an Alligator do you? Well, moving on.
There are three 'packs' here, but we like to call them gangs for the whole essence of the situation. It makes us dogs sound rougher and tougher so we don't get fooled with.
About the Gangs
The first gang is mine. My name's Echo, and I've been in charge of my gang since it was made. I actually created it, getting dogs together to make the best one yet, though it isn't the biggest. The dogs in my gang don't really have a normal characteristic. We have big and small dogs, strong and weak dogs, fast and slow dogs, smart, and dumb dogs. You name it, we have 'em. I have an ally gang that belongs to my friend Reese. He has the bigger pack out of the three though.
The second gang belongs to my friend, Reese. He has the biggest pack, and has the same thing as me. All sorts of dogs, big small, you get the picture, right? Reese, though he is a strong leader, he has a bit of a soft side, which is good that he has the bigger gang If he had a smaller one, I'm not sure if Reese's pack will be anymore!
The third gang belongs to Amio. He's not the nicest and usually just has the bigger and stronger dogs. He also has the more aggressive ones that aren't afriad to rip your neck open. Though he has the bigger dogs, they aren't the fastest which is good for Reese's and my gangs.
Common Enemies[b]
There are a few enemies though. The Coyote Clan is very mischievous and is usuallly seen stealing all of the dogs and gangs food.
There is also a dog called Shadow. He's the biggest dog you could have ever seen. He is around six to seven feet tall on four paws and seems to be a malamute mixed with a doberman. Though he hasn't been seen much, when he is, be ready for trouble.
[b]The Territories[b]
Echo's gang is in the grassy plains, rather than in the city. The gang hub is an old, abandoned clubhouse. It has different blankets and beds that the dogs have pulled together. It is a place for the dogs to rest, socialize, pretty much do anything. Around that area, a few cows live here and there which is good for them to hunt when no humans area around. Though, domesticated dogs were trained to protect herds, their wild dogs so they don't follow most of the rules that humans have set. A few miles North is a small and unknown town where Amio's gang is held at.
Reese's Gang is near the highway, but not a very busy part. Their hub is the forests around the highway (you'd understand if you lived in Florida) Inside the forest is some planks of wood, blankets, and debris, all put together to form a small campsite. Though it isn't ideal, it is something comfortable for most of the dogs. Though, being near the highway is good and bad. The good news is that Echo's Gang is a few miles away, the bad news id that one of them could get hit if they were to go across for some odd reason.
Amio's Gang is in a small town. There are a few alleys here and there with many houses. There is one apartment building, but then everything else is either a duplex, stand-alone house, or a gated community. Yes, in the town there is a separate community. The dogs usually go into the gated community because it is a bit safer for the dogs against enemies and the humans usually give the, food because they have a lot to spare.

His owners has cut them with scissors when he was a pup, leaving only a very small remainder, so it looks like he barely has ears. His tail was also docked inhumanely. It was cut off with a knife when he was also a pup, but he could barely feel it. Since then, he had ran away, started the gang, and despises human. He hasn't told many about his story, but sometimes it just spills out.
