Cute and cuddly hometown heroes were recruited from 44 animal shelters and rescue groups around the country to compete on #TeamRuff and #TeamFluff and hit the gridiron for the world's most adorable sporting event and pet adoption extravaganza.
Raising awareness and showing passion to support pet adoption is a key feature of this show. There are many homeless pets waiting for their forever family - perhaps you're now thinking about opening your warm heart and home to adopt a new pet.
Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl XII kicks off on Sunday, February 7 at 3 PM and repeats until 2 AM.
