Smith took the unlikely duo to local animal shelter Anderson County PAWS where the animals were placed in an enclosure together.
Shelter director Jessica Cwynar said the dog was likely going through a "pseudo-pregnancy," which allowed her to produce some milk. However, it wasn't enough to sustain the kitten, so shelter staff had to bottle-feed her.
When the story of the adorable pair broke, the shelter was inundated with offers of adoption from across the nation, but the Shih Tzu was well-groomed and had a collar so workers suspected she had an owner.
