'cause he's so old.
And this here is Boomer.
He really likes
to roughhouse.
Probably belongs
more in a frat house
than around children.
And our little lady Sadie here
has a ton of skin allergies,
is gonna have to pay
for her shots.
Poor Poppy.
We think that she was
abused and abandoned
by her prior owner.
And we're pretty sure
it was a man
because she's
terrified of them.
So she's afraid of all men?
Yeah.
That's so sad.
And finally, there's Petunia,
our longest-running resident.
She's been here
for over two years now.
How did
she get here anyway?
It was before I started
working here,
but Blair told me that the woman
who brought her in said
she saw her and her mom
in a ditch
filled with water
the day before.
She's pretty sure
Petunia's mom abandoned her
because she was too weak
to climb out of the ditch.
Well, she's not weak anymore.
And besides, how was
she not already adopted?
in here.
Only...
She's not pretty or perfect?
Not all of us can be
like Hillary, huh, Petunia?
I was actually gonna say
that she is
kind of perfect.
Maybe people are just
too blind to see it.
Okay, so I have
the perfect idea
for where we can start
trying to find homes
for these dogs
first thing tomorrow.
You want to come?
We could really use
your persuasive skills.
Huh, Petunia?
Yeah, sure.
in need of a home
for the holidays,
and we thought
if you would be
so kind as to let us,
maybe we could try
and find homes for them
by doing some sort
We? Who's we?
Me and J-- Jack!
Oh, no, not you again!
No way, miss.
Forget it.
Any luck?
Nope, we went 0 for 11.
Not even a nibble.
Well, don't let one bad day
get you down.
You know, it's Christmastime.
It's the season
of miracles and hope.
You are frighteningly
optimistic, Blair.
Well, maybe if we all
get in the Christmas spirit,
it might help our chances,
you know?
Yeah, just gonna
be a lot more work
than I originally thought.
I guess we'll pick
a new neighborhood tomorrow
and see if we can place
any of the dogs there.
Jack, you hear
anything I just said?
Sure, sure, new location.
What are you studying?
It's for
We're learning
target marketing.
Target marketing.
Yeah, you know,
where you target your product
to a particular market
that's perfect for it.
Oh, kinda like what I do
with my stain spray.
Yeah, I guess so.
It's too bad
we can't target-market
Petunia into
a good home too.
Jack, you're a genius.
Huh?
No, we target market
the unadoptable dogs
into new homes.
It's perfect.
So you're saying we use
what's keeping them
from being adopted
to our advantage.
Exactly, we turn
their negatives into positives.
Guys, these are dogs
we're talking about.
I don't think
it works like that.
No, no.
Wait, Hill, they--
they have a good point.
Take the twins for example.
They're super-hyper,
so maybe we need
to find a family
with super-hyper kids
to keep up with them, right?
Exactly.
(Jack)
Target marketing,
I love it.
Thank you
for helping me spawn
this amazing idea with
that book of yours, Hillary.
I can feel your intellect
rubbing off on me
as we speak.
Here, let me
help you there.
Wouldn't want you to fall.
(scoffs)
What?
Nothing.
No, not nothing.
You did that "pfft" thing
like you always do.
Me? No,
I didn't say anything.
Why are you
such a wet spot?
Why are you such
a dirty floor?
You know, you really do
have a way with people, Jack.
While some
might call it charm,
I'd call it selfish,
self-absorbed egotism.
Well, considering
my parents left me
when I was a kid,
I have no real family,
no place to call home--
unless you're considering
the nine different foster homes
I've been in
over the last seven years--
yeah, I guess I am selfish.
Hard not to be
focused on yourself
when all you have
is yourself.
I'm sorry, I didn't know
how rough you had it.
No, I don't want
your pity party.
Just do what you promised,
and fix me up with your sister.
Fine, you help us
target-market
the rest of these dogs
into the right homes,
and I'll get you
your date.
Good.
Ooh, ooh, yeah
I get caught up
in all the hustle and bustle
Of holiday glee
Won't be long
till we're opening presents
Under the tree
(dog snarls)
I love this time
of year
And I know why
Christmas is better
with two
I just want to share
this moment with you
Christmas is
better with two
I just want to share
this moment
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, wah, ah, ah, ah
You came along
Like a winter song
Now, I sing
Around, and around,
and around
Oh
(Blair)
So you have about 10 more days
till Christmas Eve,
left to find homes for?
That's not bad, guys.
I still think the odds
are against us, though.
We've got dogs
with much bigger problems
than the ones
we placed today.
It's gonna take
a Christmas miracle
to find homes for the rest
of these pups.
Well, good thing
one of us believes
in Christmas miracles.
Hey, guys,
I can't stay, though,
I gotta run to rehearsal.
Uh, Jack, would you mind
taking a picture of me?
We need a good one for
Boomer, get your big,
hairy butt out of my picture.
Guys, I just got
a great idea
of how we can get
these dogs adopted.
How?
We host our very own
doggie adoption day,
like, a few days
before Christmas,
hire a photographer
to take pictures
of kids with
some dogs, Santa,
maybe even a pretty
Christmas elf.
That sounds
like a great idea.
That sounds expensive.
No, wait.
What if we got it
at the community center?
I used to volunteer there,
so I'm sure
they'd let us borrow
the space for an adoption day.
And maybe some of the other
pageant elves can come too.
What a great idea, Jack.
Hillary, how do
you always get people
to do things for you
for free?
I don't know,
I guess I'm just--
Hillary.
And hooray for Hillary!
(dog barking)
(door closes)
Sorry, Jack,
dinner's already been served.
Are there any leftovers?
We were gonna tell you
about the move.
We were just trying
to figure out how.
Moving's my middle
name, Josie.
Should have been really easy
for you and old Lou.
It's Trevor and Tony
that I'm worried about.
So we found a family
who's interested
in taking Trevor and Tony.
Really sweet couple.
They live in that fancy
gated community, Honey Brook?
Even have a cute little pug
to play with.
So they might be interested
in taking the boys
before Christmas.
Wow.
So I won't see the boys
for Christmas.
Jack, we'd like you
to think about coming
with us if you want.
(door closes)
(bully)
What up, Frankie?
What you got in the bag?
(laughs)
Give him back the bag.
This don't concern you, Jack.
Hand over the bag now!
Look, I don't wanna
fight you, Jack.
Come on, Terry,
