Does your household need a break from Superbowl's big bruisers? If so, get set for some serious mayhem! In the ultimate showdown of dogged defence, puppy penalties and fido first downs, shelter and rescue pups rush the field on Sunday, February 7 at 6 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT for the special Canadian premiere of PUPPY BOWL on Animal Planet.
Straight from shelters, the pedigree starting line-up is filled with spunky spaniels, fierce French bulldogs and bustling beagles ready for action as they vie for the endzone - or tug-a-toy - and the ultimate title of MVP (Most Valuable Puppy). So if your favourite team is on the bench instead of in the playoffs this year, it's time to forget that post-season slump and tune in to Animal Planet as some very special rookies take on the grand gridiron of the Animal Planet Stadium.
PUPPY BOWL cameras catch all the thrilling action as the puppies pounce and play, mimicking the rough-and-tumble moves of professional ballers. Animal Planet's very own PUPPY BOWL referee, Andrew Schechter, will also be on hand to keep the players in line and to dole out any necessary "puppy penalties." With instant replays, a water bowl camera an
d a panoramic aerial blimp, viewers won't miss any of the action on the field.
And, if "The Who" is not your speed at halftime, don't miss the bevy of frolicking felines show off their stuff on a glittery stage while cheering fans enjoy their halftime performance. These tiny tabbies and cuddly calicos prove that watching curious kittens chasing each other through confetti is truly entertaining.
All of the precious puppies featured in Animal Planet's PUPPY BOWL come from SPCAs, shelters and pet rescue centres from across the U.S. Viewers who are interested in adopting from a shelter in their area can visit petfinder.com for more information.
