A Great Dane being fostered was so welcoming to the orphaned puppies and kittens with her foster family that they decided to keep her.
Shelby was just 8 months old when her family surrendered her to a California shelter. Shirley Zindler, with Dogwood Animal Rescue Project, took Shelby in to foster and soon noticed that the big dog had a wonderful way with the babies she brought home.
