Jenna Dewan Tatum Dresses Up as Santa Claus to Help Needy Dogs Find Forever Homes For the Holidays (VIDEO)

There is so much to love about Jenna Dewan Tatum and she just gave us another reason! The actress, dancer, and now Youtuber, recently spread joy to all the nice (and naughty) dogs for adoption at Barks N’ Bitches.

Dressed as Santa Claus aka Jenna Claus (it has a nice ring to it, don’t ya think?!), she passed out gifts, treats, and tons of kisses and cuddles to all the deserving dogs. She also tried putting reindeer ears on a few but they weren’t having it, go figure!

The Barks N’ Bitches facility is a part retail store and part adoption center that works hard at finding forever homes for dogs in need. They bring in adoptable dogs from the local shelters to give them another chance at being adopted. We think this is great because it allows people to see them in a different setting while giving the dogs a fun, new experience outside the shelter walls.

There are over 70 million dogs and cats living on the streets in the U.S. and as Jenna states, shelters receive only around six million. That means millions of dogs left to survive on their own. By choosing to adopt and not shop for a pet, you are freeing up space in shelters, allowing another stray to be taken in and given a second chance at finding a permanent place to call home.

If you would like to do your part in addressing the homeless pet crisis but aren’t in a position to adopt a shelter pet, consider volunteering, donating, or even fostering.

Thanks to Jenna for spreading the word about all the wonderful dogs waiting for homes in shelters across the country!
