J. Walter Thompson is encouraging Christmas shoppers to think about giving their loved ones the “greatest gift of all” this Christmas, by rescuing a pet.

The latest campaign for the agency’s pro bono client Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, builds on its #almosthomeless campaign which helped create 10,000 signatures to lobby the NSW government to find a home for the shelter.

“At Christmas time, when people are all wrapped up in the spirit of giving, we wanted to remind them that giving a rescue pet a home is the greatest gift of all, and for those unable to adopt, donating to our cause helps us to continue giving second chances to every animal in need,” Garth said.
