Chris and Mariesa, a couple from the state of Ohio, are avid dog lovers. Though the couple has their pet-related quarrels once in a while, they sincerely enjoy their crazy, happy life with their 12 dogs.
During a visit to the Cuyahoga County Kennel, an animal shelter based in Valley View, Ohio, Chris and Mariesa discovered Storie, a heavily pregnant dog. They wanted to help her as soon as they saw her current state.
They knew it would be better for the dog to give birth at home rather than have her puppies at the shelter, where the conditions are more stressful.
The couple took Storie to the veterinarian for a check-up, and they discovered that she was pregnant with twelve puppies. The ultrasound scans revealed a clear image of 12 skulls and spines!
As Chris and Mariesa got home, they quickly arranged Storie’s kennel and bed, anticipating that Storie’s puppies would arrive in a few days. But to their surprise, Storie went into labor later that day, exactly 18 hours after the couple fostered her.
It seemed that Storie waited for the perfect time to deliver her babies, and she did when she felt safe at home with Chris and Marissa.
The couple happily welcomed all 12 puppies and cared for them until they were old enough for adoption. Soon enough, they found their forever homes, thanks to Pibbles and More Animal Rescue, a nonprofit rescue organization, who helped expedite their adoption process. Meanwhile, Chris’s best friend, Ryan, adopted Storie.
Chris and Mariesa did an excellent job helping Storie find her happy ending! We hope Storie’s journey will inspire more people to open their hearts and homes for fostering shelter dogs if adoption is not an option.
To take a dog into one’s home, albeit temporarily, is a beautiful, exciting, and fulfilling experience for both humans and dogs – take Storie’s case, for example!
