Artemis Rai
Name:: Artemis Rai
Alias:: Art or "Ghost."
Age:: 3 years.
Gender:: Stud.
Breed:: Australian Shepherd.
Status:: Loner
Pack:: None, but is willing to join any.
Appearance::
He stands at an average 23 inches at the shoulder and weighs no more than 53lbs. He has a beautiful silky blue Merle coat; about medium in length, but from the days he's spent out on the streets that beautiful coat has become dull and vaguely matted. The rare amount of people that he has come in contact with have nicknamed him "Ghost," because of his two multi-colored eyes; a natural trait of the Aussie breed. His right eye being a deep chocolate color and his left, a bright icy-blue. He has a small, naturally docked tail and his ears are as equally small, triangular in shape and only reach midway down his skull, but are held up with pride. The pads of his feet are all a dull pink color, except for one; his right front paw, which is speckled with black.
Being a street dog, Artemis has acquired a few scars, mainly on his forelegs and neck, but these are vaguely hidden by his long, (not so) luxurious coat. The scars were given to him by a much bigger stray, believed to be a Rottie.
Personality::
Artemis is a very easy-going stray, but that doesn't mean that he's submissive. He's more of a pacifist, but he's not afraid to protect the rights of others. Because of his past, he doesn't take kindly to over-bearing alpha males who use their power to take advantage of the ones willing to follow; hence why his future dreams are to become an alpha, to help those who are willing to have faith in him. Unlike some strays he's run into, Artemis is proud of who he is and has no regrets about his life.

History::
Artemis was born a stray, but his mother was a gorgeous champion showdog who came from a rich home. She won many titles including; Best Of Show and Best Of Breed. After years of successful victories, her owners made the decision to breed her so that her offspring could carry on her name.
Once she was bred, her owners decided that they would move to a bigger home, to support the upcoming newborn pups, but on the night of the move, during all of the hectic packing and loading onto the truck, his mother was mistakenly left behind. Frantic and afraid, she tried to chase the truck down, but it moved too fast for her tired legs to catch. Heartbroken and now lost, she slunk her way back home, but got lost in doing so. Because she was a housepet, she had no street smarts what so ever, but thankfully a group of strays were willing to take her in given her condition and help her through her first ever litter of pups.
Two years later, Artemis found himself caught in a fight to save his mother's life. A large alpha male had cornered her hours after Art had left to find food. When he came back, she was laying on the ground, bloody and weak from refusing the male courtship. Enraged by the males actions, Artemis attacked him, blinding the male in one eye and receiving massive wounds himself. Seeing the young Aussie's tenacity, the alpha backed off and returned to the rest of his wild hounds. The rest of the night Artemis spent lying by his dying mothers side, refusing to abandon her.
