When a nurse practitioner in Westchester County, New York, welcomed a tiny newborn pit bull just barely clinging to life into her home, she knew there was an uphill struggle ahead of her. Marie DeMarco loved little Sasha all the same, though, and that love is what’s pulling both of them through.
Meet Sasha, a 3-month-old pit bull who is defying all odds in her struggle to stay alive
Little Sasha’s life got off to a rough start, as she was born with cleft lip and palette, making her unable to nurse
Animal rescuer Courtney Bellew saw her need for urgent care, and placed her with nurse Marie DeMarco
The bad news? Sasha also had fluid in her brain, as well as respiratory, urinary and orthopedic issues
The good news? DeMarco, who was experienced in caring for ill kittens, was prepared to help
3 and a half months into her life, Sasha is getting stronger by day, and has even gained weight
“She has an amazing will and determination,” DeMarco said. “Through all this, she really shouldn’t be here”
Perhaps the most important element in Sasha’s recovery has been the unconditional love surrounding her
“When I hold her and I’m kissing her, if I hold her near my face, she licks my nose”
Though Sasha has a long road ahead of her, she has all the support she needs to live as happily as other dogs
“She was dealt some bad cards in life… Boy, is she loved”
