A very nice lady could not bear that a small dog was about to be euthanized. She decided it was up to her. What she didn’t realize at the time was that she wouldn’t save a single life. No, she was about to save 19 lives in total!
Ashley Holland realizes that a golden mix of retrievers and treats called Ava is about to go on sale. She knew she had to save the precious dog. The Netherlands are convinced that no pet should be killed to make room for someone else.
Holland spoke with Fox4News about his decision. She said Ava was on the euthanasia list and had no other choice. She said it was her last resort. She said every dog deserves to live, no matter how much space their shelter provides.
Holland knew saving Ava was urgent because the dog was pregnant at the time. She knew Ava was about to have puppies, but not all x-rays taken of the dog showed how many children there were.
Holland is a mother herself and has always had a real passion for animal rescue. She said she always wanted to get a job in the veterinary field. It is by pure instinct that she wants to take care of animals.
I was able to bring Ava home just two weeks before she was born. When she did, Holland was shocked. Ava was carrying 18 puppies! Incredibly, each pup survived and is doing well.
