Danny and the pack live in Apartment 100 at the end of the ground floor. The outer door and patio of that suite, as well as a fair expanse of yard space, have all been enclosed in tall chain link kennel fencing. There are gates in the fencing that are kept closed but not locked. Signs hung on the gates read 'Don't Let The Dogs Out, No Matter What They Tell You'.
The ground's been covered in artificial turf. There's a storage shed in one corner of the enclosure. Along one side of the fence are ranked igloo shaped dog houses, arranged from largest to smallest.

Left forearm: Hecate wheel
Left bicep: Infidel band
Left Deltoid: Recon Jack
Ursula: She's enormous, mellow, and motherly - gentle with both humans and other animals. As befits a Newfoundland, she loves the water and adores pulling people on rafts in the summer months. Not the most agile of the Circus, but she's steady and tremendously strong.
Beren: He's a good-natured Malamute who loves carrying around his stuffed polar bear. It's taken some convincing by Danny to keep him from clutching it during performances. He's actually harness-broken (as is Joker) and Danny's bought a folding cart to give the pair more exercise during the cooler months.
Joker: Joker was born and raised in the military's dog breeding program. Impeccable bloodlines, physically perfect....and without any interest at all in aggression towards people. He washed out, earning himself the nickname Ferdinand in the process, and was put up for adoption. Danny got him as something of a consolation prize, since his attempt to adopt one of the dogs he'd deployed with fell through. He's proven to be an excellent performer and is essentially Danny's second in command.
Kuma: Kuma and his sister Yukiko are rescues. Kuma's the bolder of the pair, carrying himself as if he's sure he's as big as Ursula. He's got a bond with Beren in particular; they enjoy playing and digging together. Here's hoping the artificial turf in their enclosure can hold up against their attempts to excavate a route to China.
Yukiko: By far the smallest of the pack, she was the runt of her litter. She's very much a lapdog and enjoys being carried around whenever she can find some sucker willing to do just that. Ursula is her favorite and she'll cuddle up to the bigger dog at every opportunity.

Danny Theo
Leader Of The Pack: Danny's the ringmaster of a fluffy, barking little circus. His performers are Ursula the Newfoundland, Beren the Malamute, Joker the Malinois, and Kuma and Yukiko the Shiba Inu.
Equestrian: He's not shy about helping with the horses, either. In fact, he seems to have just as much an affinity for them as he does the dogs. Those who've followed certain sorts of equestrian sports might've known of him as a highly rated junior competitor in show jumping, back in his adolescence.
Veteran: He served as a dog handler in the Marines, deploying overseas several times. Iraq and Syria once, Afghanistan twice, even got to do a short stint as an embassy guard in Japan.
Michigan J. Frog: Onstage, Dan's lively and articulate. Offstage...not so much. Not unfriendly, but quiet and reserved. Clearly one that prefers the company of animals to humans.
Shapeshifter: He can assume multiple forms. Most often he's seen as a peregrine, perched atop the tallest structures of the park. Groundbound, he tends to take on the form of a black dog, apparently a German Shepherd.
Away Down South: Accent and diction make it pretty clear he's a long way from home. The chill of the North doesn't seem to bother him much, though. If anything, he likes it, for he nearly always seems underdressed in terms of layers versus the current weather.
He's tall, blonde, with fair skin and blue eyes set deep. Just muscular enough to keep from being merely skinny. His hands are long-fingered, worn and knotted at the joints in a way that speaks of a life spent doing physical labor.
