A stray dog in Canada was recently discovered by the side of the road taking care of abandoned kittens.

The caring pooch was found taking care of the 5 baby cats by the side of a road in Ontario, Canada.

It is still not known if the 5 kittens were dumped by their owner or abandoned by a feral mother cat.

The Pet and Wildlife Rescue shared the heartwarming story on social media with hopes of finding a forever home for the puppy.

The stray dog that took care of the stray cats has been named Serenity.

According to the staff of the Pet and Wildlife Rescue, a good citizen called the animal shelter to alert them of the situation.

An animal control officer was sent to collect the animals.

The amazing story was shared by local news agencies in Ontario.

Requests for adoption for Serenity, the pooch, have been flooding in since the amazing story was shared on social media.

According to the staff of the animal shelter, Serenity is around 2 years old that has the energy of a puppy.

Serenity is reportedly really amazing with cats.

The staff said Serenity needs some help with house training and is in dire need of getting taught with proper manners.

The shelter staff said they would love to rehome Serenity, the pooch, and the kittens together.

The goal of the shelter home is to get the animals out of the shelter and into a forever home as soon as possible.

The kittens that Serenity took care of are currently being taken care of in a warm foster home.

Once the kittens get old enough, the staff will rehome them.

Responses to the touching story have been flooding in from around the globe.

Social media users love the protective instinct of Serenity.
