The Mayor's Alliance for Animals is beginning a campaign to find pets homes for the holidays.

Earlier today, the Humane Society of New York and the Mayor's Alliance for Animals was in Bryant Park trying to place cats and dogs in homes.

The adoption campaign lasts until January 4.

Organizers say it's important to meet the pets and find the right match.

"Pet adoption is always important. We want the families to really think about it," said Humane Society of New York Associate Director Anne Marie Karash. "We don't do same-day adoptions because we really want to match you up with the right animal, but if someone's thinking about getting a pet for the holidays, maybe get everything ready for the dog."
