My birth real birth parents were (we think!) a German Shepard and Sheltie.  When I was first taken from my natural parents, I wasn't treated so nicely. I escaped and lived on the streets of Chicago, surviving the best I could. One day, (because I'm so friendly!) I was taken to the city's animal shelter, the David R. Lee Animal Shelter. I had a short stay there before I met my new adoptive parents that are volunteers there.
