It took 11 staff members at the veterinary clinic to safely and successfully deliver each of the adorable puppies by C-section.

In a Facebook post, Kingman Animal Hospital said that all 19 puppies are alive and healthy, and that "mom is doing great!"

They said the puppies were crying and very active. They were placed in warming units until their mother was able to get back on her feet from the surgery.
