BLUE SPRINGS. Mo. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Its heaven. Puppy pile, you cant get any better than that, Ashlee Holland toldWDAF. <\/p>\n
Holland fostered Ava, a pregnant golden retriever-chow mix two weeks before the dog was due. <\/p>\n
She had no other choice, no other hope, Holland toldPeople magazine.No dog deserves to be put to sleep for space. <\/p>\n
I was aware she was having puppies but X-rays didnt show how many, Holland told WDAF. <\/p>\n
Holland said her 9-year-old son, a big Kansas City Royals fan, named the puppies after some sports figures. <\/p>\n
We got Ned Yost, Dayton Moore, Buck ONeil, Holland said.We got Esky and Royal. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Time to end this night with some puppy dreams <\/p>\n
