Puppy Bowl XVII features 70 puppies from 22 shelters. The big game starts Sunday, February 7th @ 11 a.m. Pacific time on Animal Planet. The puppies have been placed on Team Ruff and Team Fluff and will showcase their skills with toys and teammates. The event is hosted this year by Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg and will feature special appearances by their dogs. Throughout the game, Animal Planet will highlight dogs and puppies currently available for adoption through non-profit rescue organizations.
The Kitten Bowl will be aired on the Hallmark Channel on Sunday, February 7th @ 11 a.m. Pacific time. It airs hours before Super Bowl LV, so you don’t have to choose between the big games. The kitten athletes are provided by the North Shore Animal League, a no-kill rescue and adoption organization. Their partner shelters across the country are holding Kitten Bowl Party adoption events to help. For a list of participating shelters, visit Hallmarkchannel.com or AnimalLeague.org.
