Volunteering at a dog shelter without falling for one of the dogs is nearly impossible.
If you’ve ever had the chance to spend just a single day caring for these furry friends, you know exactly what I’m referring to!
In a North Carolina shelter, Katherine Ellis was on the verge of her own life-changing realization!
When she made the decision to volunteer, she never imagined that it would lead her to one of the best choices she’d ever make!
And then, it happened.
It Was Just Meant To Be

Along with her partner, Jake, Kate chose to volunteer and foster at the Humane Society of Charlotte for a truly noble cause.
But, on her very first day, something totally unexpected occurred!
As Kate toured the shelter and noticed countless adorable faces looking for love, one particular dog stole her heart.
It was little Santiago – the oldest pup in the shelter, making him the most frequently overlooked.
