Television’s cutest sports competition and original call-to-adoption TV event is almost upon us.
On Sunday, Feb. 7, Puppy Bowl returns for its 17th iteration.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, Team Ruff and Team Fluff will go paw-to-paw in their bid for the Chewy “Lombarky” trophy.
Team Ruff, which lost last year’s matchup, is looking to reclaim its title.
Featuring 22 shelters and rescue organizations from across the northeast, the event boasts 70 adoptable puppy players.
