"An unlikely family was found abandoned in front of the Terrell Animal Shelter, which was closed for the Fourth of July holiday.
Someone tied a black Chihuahua mix to a pole in front of the shelter and left a box next to her.
“I looked and saw two little balls of fur with her and I thought it was a couple puppies,” said Officer Steven Johns, who saw the dog and took the three animals to the shelter and gave them food and water.
“I went to move them into a cage and moved the mama dog out of the way; much to my surprise mama dog is nursing two kittens instead of two puppies,” he said.
The mama dog kept a close eye on the officer as he moved her adopted babies, who were days-old kittens. The unusual family caught the eye of Deborah Franklin, a foster mom with Paws Patrol Animal Rescue.
“She’d want to come to you and she’d look at the babies and it’s like, ‘I can’t leave them,’ and I thought, ‘Now, listen, that little dog deserves a good home,’” she said.
