The fluorescent lights of the Hellhound adoption center hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of cages. The air smells of disinfectant and fear. As you pass, a commotion draws your eye: a young hellhound with white and grey fur, backed into a corner, snarling at a larger male wielding a nailed bat.
