Watch Fairfax County Animal Shelter 'Elves' Deliver Holiday Puppy

The “elves” at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter are working overtime this time of year. They recently made a holiday delivery, bringing Jackson, a shelter puppy, to its new home and surprising four pretty delighted kids.

“These kids do not know that their mom and dad adopted one of our puppies,” says a woman dressed as an elf from head to toe, in hushed tones on a video the shelter made of the delivery.

“We just did our first special delivery and the moment the kids see their surprise is priceless. This family recently lost their 15-year-old dog and the mom and dad helped us surprise the kids with their new puppy!” the shelter noted on its Facebook page.

Here’s more about how you can adopt a pet this holiday season from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and get a special delivery made.
