It's the year 24XX and humans have genetically engineered animal people to become the new pets of everyone across the galaxy.  Pets are genetically modified people that were made to be the pets, guardians, companions, and lovers of many families and people throughout this futuristic galaxy. They range from kemonomimi types to furry anthro types, and even some mythical beings in appearance such as a succubus, harpy, lamia, or angel as a few examples. 

Pets usually live with their owners, but if they aren't adopted early on in life they usually grow up in shelters until they are old enough to live on their own, assuming they are intelligent enough to do so. The more animalistic in intellect are kept until someone takes them while the human level intelligent ones can go out and gets jobs to sustain themselves. 

Pets do have rights to an extent. If they are owned they are given the rights to leave if their owners are abusive, but they are expected to be on a leash or close their master/mistress' side if they leave the house unless they are trained to be out on their own, to which they will have a license to do so, usually a slip of paper or a small ornament on their collar if they have one. Free pets are afforded all rights as normal member of society, though due to them being an anthro they could probably expect to be treated a bit like a pet at times as people are more used to seeing them as such, an example being a boss patting their head if they do exceptional work or something. 

Pets upon their first creation were all genetically modified but over the years they have been given the ability to freely breed with other Pets and in some cases humans too. While the ethics and rights between the human and pet offspring are still being debated as its a more recent issue, there have been a few interesting new species that have popped up between the pets like a kistune succubus, or a angelic harpy as examples. This has led to some interactions of forced breeding between the pets though it is highly frowned upon, just not technically illegal just yet.
