When Montana mother, Ashlee Holland, adopted, Ava, she had no idea the golden chow mix would soon give birth to 18 healthy puppies.
“She was on the euthanasia list. She had no other choice, no other hope. I was basically her last resort.. Holland said of Ava”
On Sunday evening, less than two weeks after bringing Ava home, she gave birth to a litter of puppies.
“First puppy came out at 10:02. She then popped up four more within 57 minutes. She had two more in the next hour and a half or so. I thought she was done. Cleaned her off, went to bed, woke up, there were eight more puppies. Got my kids ready for school, there are now three more puppies,” Holland said.
Holland and Ava are now enjoying 18 healthy puppies romping around their new digs.
Holland said Ava and her puppies will be ready for adoption, pending their medical examinations, in eight weeks.
