Animal shelters are overflowing with homeless dogs and cats who have just one thing on their Christmas list - a forever home. 

With your support, The Animal Rescue Site and Greater Good Charities will fly dozens of dogs and cats out of overcrowded shelters in Louisiana and Alabama to loving homes in New Jersey on December 16. 

Meet some of the hopeful animals that are waiting for their one-way ticket to freedom and a new life.

Wynter

This eight-month-old kitten is ready to experience all the joy of the holidays in a loving home. She is friendly, playful, and ready to be someone's new companion. 

Bonnie

This sweet gal is ready to find her special someone and never leave their side. The four-year-old terrier mix loves everyone she meets and makes friends wherever she goes. She hopes her Christmas wish comes true. 

Molly

Molly is everything you could want in a best friend. She is intelligent, sweet, and a great listener. She gets along with other dogs and is ready to find a family of her own. The two-year-old collie mix is counting down the days until the flight. 

Lola

This adorable five-month-old kitten will entertain you with her antics and then curl up in your lap for a nap. She is spunky and a bit of a princess, so only a home where she is the center of attention (and their world) will do. 

Sammy 

Sammy is a laid-back fella even though he is just a year old. He loves to greet people and is happy to just lounge around or jump into a play session with other dogs. He is patiently waiting for a Christmas miracle. 

Eli

Eli arrived as a stray and was never claimed. The three-year-old Labrador retriever is calm, gentle, and affectionate. He is sure to steal someone's heart in New Jersey and anyone else he meets along the way.
