Does your dog get gifts for the holidays?! 🎅🎁🐶

[@Dizzy_Kitty_Cat]

Heck yaaaa

[@brookstokes5091]

Yes

[@Alienfrommars613]

Yep lots of toys and bones

[@brookstokes5091]

[@lillypie792]

[@barbc7698]

I would totally adopt that shepherd mix, who’s been there longest! What a beautiful dog. All my critters get presents from Santa Paws! The Border Collie totally understands what it’s about! It’s a hoot watching him open his gift every year. Even the chickens get a treat- dried mealworms!

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Isn't it fun watching a dog open their presents? 🥰🐶🐕🐾 One of mine is elderly now, so I don't tape the paper anymore, I just wrap it with folds, so she can paw it open (she doesn't have many teeth). It's so cute how much joy dogs get from a simple present! ❤❤❤

[@darcyadelle]

OMG these pups are KILLING ME!! They're soooo friggen CUTE!! Yeti with those SPINS!?!? COME ONNN!! It's just about the CUTEST thing I have EVER SEEN!!! 😍😍😍

I fell in love with Yogi the second I saw him, I wish I could adopt him but I live on the other side of the world from this center. I really hope he gets adopted by a loving family soon!

[@googleman4141]

He was just adopted recently! 💕

[@doggymama63]

I'm in love with Yogi too❤

[@brendayoungblood9484]

I only adopt seniors from the shelter. I'm a senior myself and don't have the health or energy handle a young dog. But seniors need love too. Once they cross the rainbow bridge, I look for another senior dog that needs a loving home.

[@jessedavis1591]

Those dogs deserved that feeling of Christmas! 😄

[@koalafication1018]

I wish I could adopt every single one of these dogs because they are just so cute and unique. All shelter dogs make great pets because they are unique. Yet, I cant adopt one because I still live with my parents, and they are considering a second dog, but they want a specific day

[@koalafication1018]

I meant breed. I dont know how it turned up as day

[@ES11777]

Tell them they can find any breed they want in dog rescues and shelters ❤

[@cb7048]

From golden retrievers to boxers to Australian shepherds there are breed-specific rescues all across the country. Unless your parents want a very uncommon breed that’s harder to come by in shelters consider looking up rescues in your area that focus on the breed your family wants. I’m about to adopt a second dog and while there are breeds I’ve always loved I’m a big believer in letting shelter and foster workers who have come to know all the dogs personally guide you to the right dog based on your desired traits (ex: good with kids, size preference, high energy vs. lower energy, etc.). A friend recently adopted a husky-a breed she never would have considered-but after explaining to the shelter what traits she wanted they introduced her to the dog that checked all her boxes: mellow, gets along great with other dogs, is a bigtime cuddlebug, loves activities like hiking and beaches, and is gentle with cats. She walked in wanting a Labrador because it’s the only breed she’d ever owned but the shelter staff knew the husky would be a better fit than the labs they currently had. But if you can’t convince your parents to be open when it comes to breed, chances are they can still adopt a puppy or adult dog in the breed of their choice through a rescue.

[@graysonsnyder3819]

Me too because I already have a dog but if I didn't I will adopt a dog

[@worstgamerever3639]

I was dogs as well but I live with my parents and my mom doesn't want a dog because the house is too loud and my dad doesn't want a second dog and I don't know why. I hope you find special dogs that will bring you as much happiness as you want

[@Cheere]

All dogs are worth toys, love, care, a home, food etc GOD BLESS THEM ALL AND ALL HELPERS, SAVERS

[@user-tv7bd8ho5e]

I can't believe my eyes!!!! The first dog is my Roux Roux aka Prancer. Roux is living her best life in The Great Park, Irvine. She loves sunbathing, meal times and long walks. Thank you Rocky for showing her love before we could. ADOPT DON'T SHOP.

[@theh.p.lovecraftlunaticasy5186]

Who could pass up Moose? He was gorgeous! They were all beautiful, I hope Bear gets adopted!

[@laurat1129]

All these dogs are so adoptably, adorably cute and deserving of a home. (I'm partial to the mixes myself but even moreso the overlooked longterm shelter residents like that beautiful shepherd...) Thanks for helping them before the holidaze and as always.💕🐶🕎🎄☮️

[@MarisaAndChew]

Bear is just like my shepherd cross was! The playful spirit, beautiful body. She was my therapist and best friend for 14.5 years! Any of these sweet babies will love you unconditionally, and likely won't go through the newborn phase that a fresh puppy does!

[@rykleditz]

Yeti, Moose, Rudolph, Dasher, YOGI, Bear, Pee-Mastiff, Kobeee.. LOVED THEM ALL!

Oh my goodness! The bloodhound/mastiff is GORGEOUS! 🥰 If my current pupper WASN'T dog aggressive (he came out of a horrible situation), I'd try adopting him, in a second.

[@heatherrennie2692]

I've just lost my male Chihuahua Spike in April. If that Chihuahua was in the UK I would definitely be adopting her. I have a female Chihuahua on my left arm from my Chihuahua Gypsy who I lost 6 years ago. She didn't like me watch any animals with four legs on TV. I would love to give the Chihuahua a loving home. Poor baby.

[@PresleySad]

The first puppy needs to be named Bella, coco or something Christmas theme. The blood hound mix I use to have but a blue one and it was named blue but that should be named oran or jingle or ginger or Clifford the big tan dog

[@thewife6466]

You can tell those ladies take great care of them.

I really love these videos, but I cry ! I wish I could adopt all of them. From 2lbs to 103lbs. They all need so much love and companionship. Praying they find their furever homes !!! 🥰🐕🦴❤️

[@bensmith6095]

I loved all of the dogs but Yeti was my favorite I love Yeti because I love playing outside playing with my other dogs but they rarely ever really play with me that's why I think Yeti is the perfect dog for me because I love playing just like he does!!!! Your videos always cheer me up because I LOVE dogs that's why I already have 4 dogs but their way smaller than Yeti.

There is NOTHING like rescuing a dog. You get to show them what love is, and then watch them become the dog they were always meant to be. It's SUCH a beautiful and rewarding thing. No dog loves you and appreciates you like a rescue dogs. ALL of the dogs I've loved were rescued...and rescued me.

[@marissag.Vs_winterbear]

Hnnngh, I was completely mesmerized by moose and the 'blastiff'. Big dogs like them are so so adorable, but it doesn't take away from the other little cuties one bit 🥰

[@dsm4462]

This video today was my first time seeing anything from your channel. The shelter dogs are pure love! I’ve rescued all of my beagles, and we’ve seen some horrific things. The incredible news is all my dogs are (and were) fabulous pups! Time, love and structure that’s all a rescue pup needs. I lost my boy on thanksgiving. He wasn’t feeling well, no symptoms before that morning, we rushed him to the emergency vet and it was cancer and it was everywhere. He left this world in my arms. The holidays have been sad this year. When we are ready we will adopt again, especially our remaining dog deserves a friend. So to all don’t shop please adopt! It’s the best decision you’ll ever make.

I have 2 cats VERY CUTE 🥰 come to Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 please it’s my home country

[@charriemiller1774]

My dogs love BarkBox. If they tear the toy up then you can contact them and they will send you another one. They also take the allergies of your dogs into consideration on what treats they send you. They are wonderful company. Their dog foods are so good. So are their treats.
