Pets can be a lot of hard work but the effort is always worth it. 

Kind couple Chris and Mariesa love rescuing dogs, but already had a houseful! They couldn't say no to the heavily pregnant Storie however and took the dog home to have her puppies, which she did 18 hours after her arrival!

Chris and Mariesa are a married couple that makes it their mission to rescue dogs. They both believe that rescuing the pups and providing them with a loving home makes their relationship stronger.

The couple had eight rescue dogs in their home, giving them quite the collection. They did not expect to grow their brood but that is exactly what happened when they met a pregnant pit bull named Storie at the Cuyahoga County Kennel as reported here in The Holidog Times.

The couple was able to work out an arrangement with the animal shelter to give her a home while she was waiting to give birth to her puppies.

Although Chris was a little hesitant to foster a pregnant dog, Mariesa convinced him that they were doing the right thing. Once they moved Storie into their home, they began the wait for the puppies.

Chris and Mariesa squeezed in a quick trip to the vet to find out how many puppies she was going to have. Imagine their surprise when they learned that Storie was pregnant with 12 puppies, a full dozen.

The night after the vet visit, Storie went into labor and began having the puppies the next day.

They have now successfully found homes for all the cute pups, and Storie herself has been adopted by Chris's best friend Ryan, so the couple can see her regularly.
