Five puppies abandoned in Oklahoma have landed their forever homes thanks to a little festive cheer. Tulsa police officers have adopted four of the five pups found stuffed inside a zipped duffel bag abandoned on the counter of a QuickTrip gas station on Christmas day, the department shared Sunday on Facebook. The officers were "overwhelmed with Christmas feelings" when they came upon the situation, according to their social media post.

Along with the post, the department also shared photos of Officers Cordova, Pashley, Perry, and Johns posing with the rescued puppies outside the police station. "Big thanks to the cute pups, awesome officers, and QT employee," the department wrote on social media about the rescue and pet adoptions.

"If you're looking for a pet, please adopt don't shop, there are lots of rescues and shelters that are over capacity for abandoned pets," the Tulse Police Department added in their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tulsapolice/posts/277047781124854" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook post</a>.
