In the holiday spirit, rescue pug Kilo, who looks like SantaPaws, sings the Twelve Dogs of Christmas and tells us what is on his wishlist.
He wants to see other rescue dogs find forever homes with new families in time for Christmas. However but he wants to encourage people do their research about different dog breeds before they adopt a dog.
We should all try to help those in need, especially at this time of year, but pets should never be impulsive holiday gifts. Getting a puppy or an older dog is a big commitment so it is very important to get the right dog breed for your personality, lifestyle, time and budget. We love rescues, but if you do decide to buy a puppy, it is very important that you find a responsible breeder and do not support puppy mills.
Try our funny quiz to see which dog breed might make your perfect companion.
Check out our breed library to see dog photos, stories and information from our community members.
Check out Petfinder or visit a local animal shelter or Humane Society near you. Or contact a rescue organization – we can recommend several here in Ontario.
We will donate the YouTube revenue on this video until the end of the year to Kilo’s Rescue Homeward Bound. You can save a life today by donating as they are in urgent need of funds to save some Puppy Mill Dogs.

Very cute, for dogs, that is. MOL!
Talent Hounds says
Haha- I know- we’ll have to do one for cats as well in honour of Nala. Have a wonderful week XS

Kilo looks so cute in his Santa Paws suit!
And those are great holiday wishes. I too really wish people would do more research about dog breeds and what dogs need to be happy before adopting. I am all for adoption, but (as a dog trainer) I have seen the frustration and stress that can occur when a family adopts a pup that probably isn’t the best fit for their life style.
Talent Hounds says
Well I am biased but I agree Kilo looks adorable. He is actually OK with the sweater now after lots of treats but still not keen on the jacket LOL. Definitely grumpy Santa. I also agree about the research. Have a great week. XS

Thanks so much- we were thrilled!! What a great way to start the month. Have a great week XS
Amy says
Haha! We took your quiz and got British Bulldog… Interesting 🙂 Kilo has a good point. Before we got our Pug and Min Pin we did lots of research to ensure we could give them the best home possible.
Talent Hounds says
Hi Amy- the Pug and British Bull Dog are my daughter’s 2 favourite breeds LOL. Kilo’s rescue specializes in both. Hugs and tail wags to your Pug and Min Pin. Have a great week! XS

Thanks so much! We love it. We will be donating over $10 so far to Homeward Bound, target is $100 as that is what was needed to save a mill dog last week.X Susie and Kilo
