The Main Slums are the only, and main slums located in Bloodtown Slums, and crossing a certain trail will lead you to the Olden Village. In The Main Slums, there's many homeless humans and dogs, drug-dealers, drinkers, and old and abandoned houses. There's also tons of alleys, and this provides quite an adventure place for stray dogs. Vermin and cats like to roam around here, and hungry stray dogs also looking for a chance to have fun are definite to come here. However, because of all the bad conditions of The Main Slums, most of the stray dogs have diseases, like mange and rabies, making this place very unsafe.

Within Bloodtown Slums is a very disgusting and poor-looking village, full of druggies, drunk humans, humans, and of course, stray dogs. There seems to however be more stray dogs than humans, being how there is only a few houses. The ground seems to be rotting along with the houses among the old village, and to be honest, it's only perfect for stray dogs, especially if they are looking to recruit any dogs to their packs.

In this category you'll find information on all the four packs in a provided thread, and this is the place to go to if you don't know much about a pack and want to learn more.

In this board, you'll find a thread containing a guide to all herbs found in the fictional city of Halfshire, New England, and the herbs are only used by the Healers and Lead Healers of the four stray dog packs. You'll also find where they are located in Halfshire, what they are used for, and some images provided!

The last forest in The Wildwoods holds the exit to the beautiful whole group of forests in one, called the Oak Forest. The name is pretty self-explanatory. There's many oak trees, and there's some herbs here and there. You may be lucky enough to catch a unique-looking herb, but Oak Forest is usually at its best when the weather is very windy. The oak leaves are hard to catch, and herbs become rare.

Within The Wildwoods is another forest called Elm Forest, and there's many elm trees and herbs. Like the other forests in The Wildwood, this forest is a Healer's heaven. So many pretty herbs and plants that any kind of Healer and Lead Healer could use. Anyone will be infatuated by the beauty the Elm Forest provides.

In The Wildwoods is the third forest called Dogwood Forest, and for a reason! The forest mainly consists of dogwood trees, but there's normal trees and herbs dogs and humans can find. Healers and Lead Healers tend to travel here to collect the dogwood trees' flowers and they also collect the herbs, or peel off some of the bark, and they also use the branches of the dogwood.

Within The Wildwoods is the second forest, a Japanese-styled one called Ookami Forest. Instead of trees, there's rather more bamboo, but no pandas live there. Lead Healers sometimes bring fellow Healers on searches to Ookami Forest to collect the other herbs they find there, and it's more of an herb garden to the Healers and Lead Healers of the packs. However, besides bamboo mainly covering up the whole of Ookami Forest, there's also some cherry blossom trees and dogwood trees, and the plants and blossoms on the branches are used as herbs by the Healers and Lead Healers of the packs.

Once a dog or human enters the great forest known as The Wildwoods, they will come across the first forest known as Canopy Forest. There's tons of prey, and other sources of food a dog may need, and tons of shade provided during the hotter and warmer months within the tall trees. There's benches for humans, and dogs, to sit and relax in, and many years ago, only a year before the four packs were founded, there was a pack known as the Foresters, who had used to live in Canopy Forest before a fire happened, destroying nearly all of the beautiful forest.

While not being part of The Main Alley, there's a special alley known as The Labyrinth Alley. It has sandy-colored walls and courtyards, making humans and dogs wonder why it's called The Labyrinth Alley despite not really being much of an alley. There's also houses, mostly old and abandoned, and garbage cans. There's platforms for dogs and homeless humans to rest on, and water puddles for dogs to drink if they can't find the special water fountain located within The Labyrinth Alley. A perfect place for a pack, this could be, maybe the long-lost Scrapiers chose to live here after going missing.

Deeper into Walker's Alleys but not found inside The Main Alley is the Secondary Alley, and it's a simple alley, with houses and garbage cans around. This alley is not as overpopulated with dogs as The Main Alley, but perhaps just a random loner dog could end up starting a whole pack here by finding some other dogs. During autumn, many humans decorate their houses with leaf stickers and other things, but in The Main Alley, it looks absolutely crazy. Inside the Secondary Alley is a few places The Main Alley doesn't have.

In the entrance of Walker's Alleys is one large, labyrinth-like alley called The Main Alley, the first alley any human and dog will come across when entering Walker's Alleys. The Main Alley is very hard to navigate, and many dogs can get lost unless they have great tracking and thinking skills. Humans roam here, houses everywhere, and plenty of garbage cans. A place like this is incredibly hard to navigate if you want to find the other alleys.

Among Brisdale Forest and the beautiful grove, Turner's Grove, lies a major sight for sore eyes, a beautiful lake with shimmering water, populated with ducks and other water-inhabitating animals. They don't call this place Shining Sun Lakes for nothing! Many dogs come here to hang out, form a romantic relationship or strengthen them, and meeting up in secret. When the sun is shining through the trees is when Shining Sun Lakes is at its best.

In one of the places in Halfshire called Turner's Grove is a beautiful forest called The Brisdale Forest. Many dogs hunt there, and choose to even live there. Lynxes, wolves, and other forest-dwellers, however, can cause harm, but the wolves aren't so bad. Dog couples also come here to reflect on romance and maybe some come here to hide a forbidden relationship.

In this gallery you'll find pictures of characters and some information about them. If you want to know about any random characters thrown in or characters, this is the place! Feel free to post YOUR characters here too!

In this gallery place, you can find pictures of the many places in the fictional world of Halfshire, New England if you're having trouble imagining what they look like.

In Downtown, far away from most locations, is one place almost overpopulated by stray dogs, and it's called Old Man's Scrapyards. Many garbage is found there, and dumped there, and hungry stray dogs come here to scavenge some food, along with trying to just make a living there. Dog legends say that there was once a dog pack called the Scrapiers that lived there, and were never seen again after a large amount of garbage was dumped. No one knows if the Scrapiers are still around, and some say their ancestors included the Scrappers pack up in the Main City.

In the Downtown area of the Main City is a nightclub usually full of people and drunken people, and loud music. Not many dogs enjoy coming here because of this, but they can still manage to steal some things. The nightclub's abandoned storage room seems to be the main place dogs like to go to.

In the Downtown area of the Main City is the Downtown Mall, made by a beautiful glass material, and the logo is red. On the inside, it looks like your typical dream mall with a small motel at the top. Many dogs can find owners and a home here!

At the Dog Park, many dogs that are usually pets play here and befriend other dogs, a perfect place for stray and pack dogs. Socializing here is one thing many dogs can do! However, the wire fences and certain things hidden in the lush green grass can provide dangers.

Hello! Are you new to Dogs of Halfshire? Here, you can introduce yourself and get some welcomes from members!

Inside the Abandoned Motel is where anyone will find the territory belonging to the Scrappers pack. They make their "beds" out of scraps, and they're known for being fast and quick-thinking, and they tend to be at war with the other packs. They are wary of strangers, and may attack unless the strangers prove their loyalty. The pack leader addresses everyone on a platform.

Inside one of the apartments in Angel Block Apartments is the home of the Silver Tail pack. Identified by a fish symbol on the window, any dog seeking to join this rather friendlier pack can enter the apartment. The door of the apartment is half-open, and the apartment's interior looks like the inside of all the other apartments. The pack leader addresses everyone else on a couch.

Inside Poor Man's Pub's storage room is the home of the Ravagers pack. Strong and fierce dogs, they'll attack anyone unless they seek to join. The Ravagers make their "beds" out of scraps and old paper, and they hunt all they can find. There's broken wine bottles, and whiskey bottles, and other things. The pack leader addresses the pack on a table.

Inside the Abandoned Autoshop is the territory of the Scrappers pack. They are a very dangerous and fast pack, and their name not only comes from the fact that they live in an autoshop, but they are also speedy. They choose to make their "beds" out of car parts and whatever else they can find.

Close to the Downtown area of the Main City is a place that many dogs are scared of, and it's called The Pound, though some dogs prefer to call it "The Death Place", even though hardly any death occurs there, except if dogs are old or really unwell. There's offices for dog catchers and the ceiling and walls are all greyish-blue, and the left and right is lined up with cages containing caught dogs, young and old. Some pack dogs come here to recruit any dogs to join their packs and even rescue them. Secretly, there's a special place inside The Pound where all loners live, away from dog catchers. It's a secret room no dog catcher goes to.

At the end of the Main City is the Abandoned Motel, and it looks like a usual motel except for some decaying stuff here and there. A pack of strays known as the Scrappers live there, making their "beds" out of scraps, hence their name. The door is slightly open, and can never be locked or closed without swinging open again.

Deep in the Main City, close to Downtown, is an abandoned autoshop with old and broken cars with dents and scuffed-up paint on old signs. The inside is more haunting than the outside. It's dark, full of old car parts, and decaying walls and ceilings. This, however, is the home of the Zoomers pack, and perhaps you can join them here.

In the Main City, there's a group of apartments called Angel Block Apartments. They are all brown apartments, but they look very pretty on the inside, but there's one thing about them. There's no people residing in them! There's a reasonable reason why. Angel Block Apartments is located behind Poor Man's Pub, where there are alleys, but by one of the alleys is where a separate group of apartments, marked by a sign saying "ANGEL BLOCK APARTMENTS", is. The main question is if the place is called Angel Block, or it's just the name of the group of apartments. Many dogs live inside the apartments, and one of the apartments with a fish symbol on the window is the home of the Silver Tail pack.

On the sidewalk lies a pub, and many humans visit there and are usually found drunk. Where most people don't go is the storage room, which is the home of the Ravagers pack, where they hide from humans and hunt rats and vermin in there. Dogs that aren't members of the Ravagers can perform tricks and can even get adopted. The pub is dark and small, and many poor people go and even live there. The storage room is gray and dirty, and members of the Ravagers use scraps they find as their "beds".
No wonder why this place is called Poor Man's Pub...

Known for being surrounded by buildings, apartments, and some litter, North Street is quite famous. Many cats and stray dogs inhabit North Street, living in some apartments when they cannot find shelter. There's many prey here.
