Put on your team’s colors and turn on your television because the big game that everyone’s been waiting for is almost here! The Annual Puppy Bowl celebrates its 20th year on Sunday, February 11th at 11 am PST on Animal Planet, Discovery, TBS, truTV, Max, and discovery+. Football fans and puppy fans alike can join forces to cheer on three special Helen Woodward Animal Center pups who were drafted earlier this year to play in the big game and raise funds for orphan pets.
Puppy Bowl XX features two teams of the fluffiest and cuddliest “line barkers” and “wide retrievers” taking to the gridiron for a playful game of terrier touchdowns, puppy penalties and furry fumbles. Hailing from rescues and shelters from across the country, these adoptable fuzzy players that make up #TeamRuff and #TeamFluff are serious when it comes to winning the Most Valuable Puppy title and more importantly…their forever homes.
This year, Helen Woodward Animal Center is excited to announce that three puppies will once again play in the Puppy Bowl and represent the Center’s mission of “people helping animals and animals helping people.” Fred is a Pomeranian/Australian cattle dog blend with a spunky demeanor and a penchant for showPUPship. Dory is a pug/poodle blend who lives for PUPularity and can get a little distracted by her adoring fans. Finally, Hana is a special Chihuahua/Parson Russell terrier blend who was rescued from the Maui Wildfires and has the attitude and will-PAWer of a champion.
