This year, Christmas came a little early for Tessa, Tarz, Stevie and many other adoptable dogs at Save-A-Dog Scheme, Inc. in Victoria, Australia. While these pups are still waiting for their forever homes, the shelter staff found a heartwarming way to make their holiday season special.
Last week, the team surprised their four-legged residents with a festive treat: a variety of toys set out for them to choose from. Each dog got the chance to pick out their own Christmas gift, and the joy on their faces was absolutely priceless, reports The Dodo.

Some pups approached the task with careful thought, sniffing through the options before selecting their favorite toy. Others couldn’t contain their excitement, jumping up and down with wagging tails and grabbing the first toy that caught their eye. The activity showcased the unique personalities of each dog, from the cautious to the exuberant.
The shelter staff captured these magical moments in a video that has since warmed the hearts of viewers around the world. Seeing the pure happiness of these dogs, even while they wait to be adopted, reminds us of their resilience and ability to feel joy.

While the toys are a wonderful addition to their lives, the staff at Save-A-Dog Scheme, Inc. hopes to give each of these pups an even greater gift: a loving, forever home.
“We are doing everything we can to give them the love they deserve while they are with us,” the shelter wrote. “But our greatest wish is that each of them finds their forever family.”
As the holiday season continues, this touching gesture reminds us of the joy that simple acts of kindness can bring—and the importance of opening our hearts and homes to animals in need.
