Puppy Bowl 2021: Who Is Announcing The Game? MVP and Game Odds, Start Time & How To Watch Live
The big game is set to take place in just hours. No, not Super Bowl 55, we are talking about the Puppy Bowl! Before the Buccaneers take on the Chiefs, Team Ruff will face off vs. Team Fluff for dog supremacy.
Puppy Bowl – why they play
2021 marks the 17th annual Puppy Bowl. So why do the pups have their own featured game?
According to Mlive, “Puppy Bowl” is a celebration of dogs and the need to promote animal adoption. The Puppy Bowl showcases various shelters and rescues across the country, and so far it has done wonders in getting the word out.
In the first 16 Puppy Bowls, the adoption rate for all the animals participating has been 100-percent. Hopefully, the 17th edition will also help these participants find their forever homes with loving families as well.
This year, 22 shelters and rescues from nine Northeastern states will bring 70 adoptable puppy players out for the event. You can click here to view the starting lineups.
