The 12 Pets Of Christmas: A Video Featuring The 12 Christmas Wishes Of Homeless Pets

| Published on December 10, 2015

Just a few days more to go and it’s Christmas. Have you done your Christmas shopping already?

While we are all busy with the Holiday season, making lists, buying gifts, decorating our houses, and putting up Christmas trees, there are homeless animals out there who are still wishing to have a home and a family.

The Animal Welfare League Australia (AWLA) has a campaign for homeless pets this festive season. To encourage people to adopt and give homeless animals a loving home in time for the holidays, they created a video entitled “The 12 Pets Of Christmas”.

In partnership with Purina, AWLA produced this video that features shelter animals singing, or shall we say–meowing and barking, to the tune of the Christmas song “12 Days Of Christmas”.

All the animals in this video are currently in AWLA shelters in Sydney. Watch the video below and see what these cats and dogs wish for this Christmas!

These animals may have different wishes, but they have one thing in common that they all want and need–a forever home with a loving family!

To those who are looking for an additional member of the family, please consider adopting one of these beautiful animals and make their Christmas wishes come true. Visit AWLA’s website or drop by their Facebook Page.

But before you leave this page, here are some adorable, behind the scenes photos! Meet the stars of the video!
