Dog gives birth to 18 pups after woman saves her from euthanasia list – Atlanta Journal Constitution

BLUE SPRINGS. Mo.

A Missouri woman who fostered a pregnant dog that was on a euthanasia list was rewarded Sunday when 18 puppies were born to the mixed-breed dog.

Its heaven. Puppy pile, you cant get any better than that, Ashlee Holland toldWDAF.

Holland fostered Ava, a pregnant golden retriever-chow mix two weeks before the dog was due.

She had no other choice, no other hope, Holland toldPeople magazine.No dog deserves to be put to sleep for space.

I was aware she was having puppies but X-rays didnt show how many, Holland told WDAF.

Holland said her 9-year-old son, a big Kansas City Royals fan, named the puppies after some sports figures.

We got Ned Yost, Dayton Moore, Buck ONeil, Holland said.We got Esky and Royal.

Holland said Ava and her puppies will be ready for adoption in eight weeks, pending medical examinations. She has sincestarted aFacebook page for Ava and her pups.

And just to clarify, I know that a lot of articles are reporting that I adopted Ava, Holland wrote on the page.That is not the case. She is my foster.

Time to end this night with some puppy dreams
