Numerous Rescue Dogs from Philly Area Will Compete in Puppy Bowl!
The Eagles are going to the Super Bowl, and we also have a few local pooches going to the famous Puppy Bowl!
Here are the details from our friends at PhillyVoice:
The Puppy Bowl returns to Animal Planet for its 19th season at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12, and this year’s lineup includes many rescue dogs from the greater Philadelphia region. There’s Pierogi, a 35-pound lab mix from the Center for Animal Health and Welfare in Easton, who’s sure to deliver devastating tackles, and Amanda, a slight pit-chow chow from Philly’s own Wet Nose Rescue with energy to burn.
Representing Bucks County is Ritz, a shaggy Aussie-poodle from Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue. (Yes, he’s named after the cracker, but no, he will not crumble.) Gordon and Chaos, meanwhile, hail from Delaware County’s Providence Animal Center. They’re both chihuahua mixes, meaning they’re small, scrappy fighters with something to prove.
There is a puppy named after Eagles QB Jalen Hurts – Tailen Hurts from Brandywine Valley SPCA
