A stray dog was found by the side of the road keeping a family of abandoned kittens warm.

The dog, since named Serenity by shelter workers, was discovered guarding the five baby cats by the side of a road in Ontario, Canada, last week. It is unclear whether the kittens were dumped by their owner, or abandoned by a feral mother cat.

Pet and Wildlife Rescue wrote on Facebook: ‘I have been getting A LOT of attention on social media, but let me fill you in just in case you don’t know my name and my story!

‘My name is Serenity and I was found last week on the side of the road keeping 5 kittens warm.

‘A good citizen called the shelter, a kind Animal Control Officer picked the 6 of us up and we’ve been living our best lives ever since!’

A shelter spokesman said the kittens Serenity rescued are currently in a foster home, and will be put up for adoption as soon as they are old enough.

They have said that while they would like to offer the dog and kittens together, doing so would mean Serenity has to wait several months to find her forever home.

Serenity’s good deed has also seen the shelter flooded with offers from prospective new owners keen to rescue the dog.

The shelter said she is ‘obviously great with cats’ and would happily live in a home with kitties.

Serenity, who is believed to be around two years old, also loves playing outside, but is a little too boisterous to live with children, or other dogs with dominant personalities.
