Shelby is right where she is meant to be. The look in her eyes when the puppies climb on her back tells the whole story. My heart melted watching how tender and loving she is with newborn kittens. Shelby has stolen my heart. She is pure love.

So many precioys animals so much love is abundent and they all have the love for any animals A wonderful sweet loving and precious dog cat large or l or as i had one tiny Named Beamer after my car and a very frightened large but sweet dog who i named her Shadpw as she was always by my side Someone hurt her and she was so thin but my husband told me to take off the chain and she was my best friend her and Beamer a tiny little boy They are all so precious and sadly some people are not so loving

Gentle giant. I had rescued two 3 week old kittens and my male dog adopted them. HE groomed them, grabbed them up by the scruff of their necks, corralled them. Everything. HE was their “mama”. An incredible bond formed between the 3 of them. He was so tender, loving, affectionate, patient, attentive, playful. I really felt helped by him. They turned out to be amazingly well adjusted cats and my first foster fail. I just couldn’t separate them. Once they were grown they would play together, eat together, sleep together. It was precious. Magical. Beautiful. And this video reminded me so much of that special time. All 3 of them went on to help me foster for years. I KNOW it made a difference.

There is nothing more sweet to me than the gentle giant type. Reflects greatly on the potential moral character of many animals that she is willing to do this for hindered of animals that are not her own and other species that are not her own. It’s really beautiful.

I love how she mentions about how important a role shelby plays, with people who rescue/raise orphaned kittens or puppies an adult of their species is an incredibly important thing to be present; they cannot learn how to be from humans and we can make their futures very bleak if not raised correctly with respect, love and understanding. Part of that understanding is knowing they need their own kind to learn from, shelby does this job admirably not only is she helping the puppies socialise and experience having a mother she's also allowing cats to go into dog friendly homes with a sense of confience. Whilst they won't learn how to be cats from her they will learn compassion which is equally important. It's clear from how affectionate the cats and puppies are with her that she's a vital part of this operation. I'd find it really interesting to see if she would allow you to attach the bottles to her to allow for a more natural feeding experience, since they can press into her feel her heartbeat and her heat which isn't always present when a human feeds; usually a distance from the body and not snuggled up. I think that might further give comfort to these rescues, assuming that the great dane would allow this.

@nanajiloh

Жыл бұрын

Kittens this young (less than 2 months old) also benefit A LOT from a warm body with a beating heart and fur, because it gives them a sense of comfort and reminds them of mama cat, so even though she can't teach them grooming and other skills, she definitely helps them grow up in a way that is healthy and reassuring for them, which prevents a lot of stress and erratic behavior for cats. She's all around great for all them babies.

Tbf small dogs can also be sweethearts, they just get the stereotype of being absolute gremlins because very often owners don't really train them or correct their behavior (mainly because a small dog biting you is going to hurt a lot less than a big dog doing the same, among other undesireable behaviors)

@@irishuisman1450 Some of it must be nature. I've been bitten by a Jack Russell. I was just walking past a lady walking 2 of them on a lead. It just jumped at me, no warning. Bit through my trousers and broke the skin but not too deep. An ex girlfriend had a Jack Russell that would lunge at anything and everything. Once started on a Great Dane. Thankfully the Dane (not on a lead) just looked at him and didn't move or react at all. The same dog wouldn't let the Dad (who worked nights) get into bed because it had fallen asleep with the Mum. On the other hand had experiences of a large dog (Mastiff) getting pulled by it's tail along a tiled floor by kids and just put up with it. Very placid dog but extremely protective if someone came near the baby of the family. Would always put it's self between the stranger and the baby.

Not necessarily. We had a male beagle and a male terrier mix that both used to be great "moms" and with helping to raise small animals that were orphaned. They helped us raise dozens of baby rabbits, squirrels, opossums, kittens and puppies over the years - once even a baby coon. You just told them "they're babies" and those two were good to go. They'd even keep the other dogs away from the babies until everyone was used to each other.

@@paxhumana2015 This is true. Some people get big dogs (or any animal really) without thinking about the cost and care associated with those animals. I have a Great Dane and she's certainly been an expensive pet to own. When looking at Great Dane rescues you commonly see stories of owners who dropped off (abandoned) them because "he got too big" or "I didn't realize how expensive food or vet bills would be". I'm not sure what those people were thinking. It's a Great Dane you didn't think he/she would get big?!?!
