While the elf delivery service comes at no extra fee, officials said space is limited.

The shelter is also offering “pawtificates”—gift certificates for pet adoptions—listed at $10 for two cats and $20 for a dog. These gifts do not expire and include “vaccinations, microchip, personalized identification card, spay or neuter procedures, and a lifetime of love,” the release continues.

“Our hope through these promotions is to find ‘furever homes’ for our homeless pets this holiday season,” Whitney Boylston, the shelter’s director, said in a news release. “We would love for all of our pets to have a home for the holidays.”
