Puppy Bowl XIV is going to be the best one yet! This year, the puppies were rescued from areas hit by natural disasters
in 2017, such as Houston, Puerto Rico and Florida. About 48 different
animal shelters and rescue organizations from 25 U.S. states and
territories were used to recruit the puppies for both teams Fluff and Ruff and will include roughly 90 puppies play in the Puppy Bowl.. And for the first time ever, a one-hour special airing Feb. 3 (8 p.m. ET) on the Animal Planet Channel called the
Dog Bowl will turn the spotlight on older canines in need of homes. The Dog Bowl, is making its inaugural appearance, which will air the night before the Super Bowl will include 40 dogs and feature
fully grown mutts—adults and seniors—playing their own game of furry
football. The broadcast will also feature a couple of human NFL players:
Logan Ryan and
Eric Decker of the Tennessee Titans, who work with animal shelters and dog rescues in their spare time.
Puppy Bowl XIV kicks off with a furry
group of line barkers and wide retrievers, making adorable fumbles and
tumbles in an effort to score winning touchdowns for Team Ruff and Team Fluff. For the seventh year in a row, America's favorite "Rufferee,"
Dan
Schachner, returns to call the puppy penalties, furry fumbles and
terrier touchdowns. He will also be teamed up with for the first time a new assistant referee named Shirley who is a Sloth. The players include such special needs pups as Ryder, a sight-impaired
Husky; Chance, a deaf Dalmatian; Moonshine, a sight-impaired and deaf
Border Collie; and Luna, Pomeranian mix with a cleft palate from Port Huron, Michigan. The Kitty Half-Time Show features Prince Michael and Phil the cat, and more. Puppy Bowl
will air on the Animal Planet Channel at 3 pm (est) on Sunday, February 4th, 2018 with the Puppy Bowl pregame show starting at 2 pm (est).
The Kitten Bowl
starts
Super Bowl Sunday off at Noon on the Hallmark Channel. All the kittens
and cats are available for adoption. NFL icon Boomer Esiason will return as the Feline Football League Commissioner. Beth Stern again hosts the big showdown from Hallmark Channel Stadium,
featuring adoptable "cat-letes" playing with cat toys, taking cat naps
and generally behaving like the adorable fluffballs they are. Beth has fostered
countless animals in need
while working to find animals homes, and she’s excited that the 2018
Kitten Bowl will highlight the cathlete’s personal stories. This
year's players competing for the "National Championship of Feline
Football" trophy include kittens rescued from recent natural disasters. Other Commentators for Kitten Bowl V include Dean Cain, Alison Sweeney and Rodney Peete, and the
event partner is again North Shore Animal League America. And watch for
such kitty gridiron players as Banzai, J.J. Swatts, Lady Bug (favorite
singer: "Meowly Cyrus"), Boots (quote: "I have always relied upon the
kindness of strays"), Doc (favorite TV show: "Orange is the New Cat")
and Elvis (nickname: "The King.") You can also go onto the
website www.hallmarkchannel.com/kittenbowl for interactive fun including
making your own trading cards featuring any and all of the Cat-Letes in
this years Kitten Bowl V. Chilli, leads The North Shore Bengals. “The Little Hawaiian” might not have the
eye of the tiger, but expect this cat to roar like a lion when leading
the team to victory. Dexter, Honey Bun, Jason Kitten, Murphy, Peaches, Penny and “Mad Cat”
Star
fill out the rest of the Bengals. They’ll have to take on some fierce
competition when they meet the Pouncy Panthers. The “Tiny Terror” of Dew Drop will bring the noise – and the cute – when they hit the field. Along with quartercat Feline Manning, Dumpling, Kazoo, Lulu, Macaroni, Norman and Swirl, the Pouncy Panthers look to get
a tail up on the competition. Turn into the Hallmark Channel on Feb. 4 at 12 PM EST and/or 3 PM EST to watch Kitten Bowl V.
An estimated 40 million viewers will
be watching Puppy Bowl XIV and over 20
million viewers will watch the Kitty Bowl V. Major sponsors who
purchase commercial time for these
Bowls must also commit to being sponsors and advertise all year round
with all programming on these channels. Puppy Bowl XIII official
sponsors include PEDIGREE,
Petco, BISSELL, Dairy Queen, GEICO, AllState, Milkbone, Chewy.com, Purina, PetFinder.com, Twizzlers, Wisdom Panel, Tinder, and Subaru and Southwest. Kitty Bowl IV
official sponsors include Meow Mix and Allegra ,Subaru, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and Pet Smart just to name a few . All the
puppies and
kittens are
available to be adopted right after the Bowls air on television through
the shelters and some are even adopted by staffers of the events. My
favorite part is seeing how cute all the kittens are as well as how well
the puppies play together and knowing that all my friends will get
adopted and go to good homes to be with their new families. So if after
watching the Kitten Bowl and Puppy Bowl you decide you or you and your
family is looking for a kitten or cat, puppy or a dog, please visit the
animal shelters in your area and pick out a new family member. Remember
to always have your Cats and Dogs spayed and neutered.
