As we all know, the Super Bowl is coming up in just about a week; however, the more important event, which is happening on the same day, is called the Puppy Bowl (plus, it’s much cuter than the actual football game going on).
Here’s a little bit more about the puppies and where they come from:
- Animal Planet announced a lineup of 104 ‘canine competitors’
- All adoptable pups are hailing from 67 shelters and rescues, from 33 states
- Let’s be honest – they really are way too cute to even describe
The Puppy Bowl has all puppies up for adoption! How do you adopt?
Well, let’s head on over to Discovery’s page where it lists the available adoptions. As of right now, it says ‘Coming Soon’, so please be sure to keep an eye out for the page and keep refreshing. Make sure to act fast, should you wish to adopt because guess what? They go fast! In fact, by the time the Puppy Bowl actually airs, most of the puppies are already adopted. How sad for us, but good for all of the pups going to loving and deserving homes!
ANOTHER FUN FACT ABOUT THE 2022 PUPPY BOWL
They are finally shooting in an actual sports venue, even though someone said that they are technically a ‘fake’ sporting event. Um, excuse me……the Puppy Bowl is one million percent a real sporting event, and by far the best one that happens all year!
