Just hours before the Super Bowl kickoff, football fans and puppy fans can unite to cheer on two special Helen Woodward Animal Center pups who made it to the big time and help raise funds for orphan pets!
Helen Woodward Animal Center is delighted to invite animal-lovers to the Puppy Tailgate at McGregor’s Grill, Sunday, February 9 between 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (21+ only) Attendees will be treated to a day of comPETition, canine themed food and drinks, and even a cornhole tournament!
10% of all food and drink consumption will be supporting the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center!
Viewers can cheer on Petunia and Callen as they compete for the “Lombarky” Trophy. This year, both of Helen Woodward Animal Center’s pups will be playing for #TeamRuff. Fan favorite Petunia, a Chihuahua-Shi Tzu blend, makes up for her lack of natural athleticism with a positive attitude that rallies Team Ruff in the BARKer Room. While Callen, a miniature pinscher-boxer blend, brings natural athleticism and a love for the game that should align with Team Ruff’s scramble-based system. However, he sometimes gets too excited to play, resulting in silly penalties.
It’s sure to be a game full of terrier touchdowns, puppy penalties, and furry fumbles!
Puppy Bowl XXI will stream on discovery+ and air on Animal Planet Sunday, February 9th starting at 10AM.
No tailgate is complete without Cornhole!
To celebrate Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 6th consecutive year sending our most talented pups to the World’s Cutest Game, we’re hosting a tournament for the true sport of kings and queens. Prizes include SeaWorld tickets, Sesame Place tickets, and Raising Canes box lunch cards!
Registration is $10 per person, or $15 for a team of two.
