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.
An employee at the gas station has adopted the fifth and final pup, meaning that all of them have successfully landed their forever homes.
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.
The department also encouraged readers to adopt any new pet companions they wish to add to the family rather than buy from breeders.
"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 Facebook post.
On Thursday, December 30, the Tulsa Police Department said in a second Facebook post that the puppies saved after being dropped at the QuckTrip on Christmas "are now growing fast and doing great."
The four officers made their national TV debut on Thursday's episode of Fox & Friends, where they talked about the rescued puppies with the animals sitting in their laps.
They added: "Officer Cordova, Officer Pashley, Officer Perry and Officer Johns each brought their pups out early this morning for their national TV debut!"
"We're so glad the pups have found a good home, and we can't wait to watch them grow up!" the department wrote on its Facebook page.
