Poor little Sasha was in a critical situation the day after she was born. The human caring for the 1-day-old pitbull noticed that Sasha wasn’t able to nurse.

“The owner recognized she has a cleft palate and lip and wanted to try and save her,” Courtney Bellew, director of SNARR Animal Rescue Northeast told The Dodo. “He brought her to my house and she was so tiny and fragile.”

Courtney knew Sasha’s best chances for survival would be in the hands of Marie DeMarco a nurse practitioner who is the founder of the non-profit FURRR 911.

That’s when Sasha became Marie’s “miracle” puppy which she has to tube feed. Not only did the 11-ounce pup have a cleft palate, but Marie also noticed that she had Hydrocephalus which causes fluid to build up in her skull.

Her brain is only about one-third of the size it should be as a result of her condition.

Things only got worse from there. She contracted a respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection, and was found to have orthopedic issues too.

Regardless, Sasha has fought through it all.
