"Wow! I had such a scary experience during the recent rain storms. I got lost and was roaming around unfamiliar streets in search of my family. I was very cold, wet, frightened and tired. I finally made my way to an Auto Parts Store. As luck would have it, the owners took me in, dried me off, fed me and gave me a safe place to hang out.

"I'm very lucky and thankful to the wonderful people who realized how cold and frightened I was. They took time out of their busy day to dry me off and give me a warm place to stay. They said I can stay with them until I find my forever home since my family didn't care enough to come for me.

"I'm very sweet and get along well with other dogs. I'm also mellow and calm around people although a little scared right now. Considering my unfortunate past, the Vet said I'm in good health, around 2 years old and a beautiful coated Shepherd."
