Winona, Minnesota – Hey there, dog lovers and animal enthusiasts, mark your calendars for a paw-some event! Puppy Bowl XX is almost here, and it’s going to be the cutest showdown on TV. This annual television program on Animal Planet gives you all the Super Bowl feels, but with a twist ā it’s played by adorable puppies!
Every year, on Super Bowl Sunday, you can catch this heartwarming show. Picture a mini stadium filled with a bunch of playful puppies, and you’ve got Puppy Bowl XX. But it’s not just about the cuteness overload; there’s some exciting action too, with commentators giving you the lowdown on the puppy plays.
The tradition started back on February 6, 2005, as an alternative to Super Bowl XXXIX. What makes it even more special is that all these fluffy athletes are rescue puppies from shelters. The whole program has a mission ā to raise awareness about adopting pets from shelters and giving abandoned animals a loving home.
Meet the Stars of Puppy Bowl XX
Now, let’s meet the stars of Puppy Bowl XX! Scheduled for Sunday, February 11th, this year’s game features 131 puppies from 73 shelters and rescues across 36 states and territories. Talk about a diverse lineup! From the tiniest pup, Sweetpea, weighing in at just 1.7 lbs, to the giant of the pack, Levi the Great Dane, tipping the scales at a whopping 70 lbs. Wanna learn more? Visit them here.
The big question on everyone’s minds: Will Team Ruff or Team Fluff take home the Lombarky trophy? You won’t want to miss it! Tune in on Sunday, February 11 at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT on Animal Planet for some feel-good sports competition that’ll warm your heart.
The Kitty Half-Time Show
But wait, there’s more! Starting with Puppy Bowl II, there’s a Kitty Half-Time Show. At the 1 hour, 15-minute mark, the puppies take a break, and a bunch of playful kittens steal the spotlight. Imagine these adorable furballs having a blast with laser pointers, yarn balls, scratching posts, and more. It’s 30 minutes of pure kitten cuteness.
Every year that we watch the Puppy Bowl, my hubby Jack always makes a joke about me performing at the Half-Time Show. Probably because my name is Kitty and besides being a travel writer and fiction author, I’m also singer! LOL.
Looking for Furr-ever Homes
All these kittens are also rescue animals, just like the puppies, and they’re looking for forever homes. The “stadium” is decked out with all sorts of toys to keep the kittens entertained. Sometimes, they need a little catnip to get them in the groove, but it’s all in good fun.
So, there you have it ā Puppy Bowl XX is going to be an epic showdown of puppy paws and kitten antics. Don’t forget to catch the action and maybe even consider adopting a furry friend of your own. It’s all about spreading love and joy in the animal kingdom! š¾šš±
