The excitement is building for Puppy Bowl XXII, which will feature a dog from a Chicago animal rescue. This year, Team Ruff will compete against Team Fluff for the prestigious Lombarky trophy. Among the adorable pups participating is one from One Tail at a Time, a local rescue organization devoted to helping dogs find loving homes.
On February 8, 2024, a viewing party for the Puppy Bowl will take place at Babe’s Sports Bar in Logan Square, from 12:00 to 15:00. This event promises to be a fun gathering for dog lovers and sports fans alike, providing an alternative for those who may not be interested in the Super Bowl.
Alli Rooney, the marketing manager at One Tail at a Time, along with volunteer Candice Burgess, discussed the upcoming event on ABC7 Chicago. They highlighted the significance of the Puppy Bowl in promoting pet adoption and raising awareness about animal shelters.
“We are thrilled to have one of our rescue dogs featured in this year’s Puppy Bowl,” said Rooney. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase how wonderful these animals are and to encourage people to adopt rather than shop for pets.”
The Puppy Bowl has gained popularity over the years for its light-hearted take on football, featuring puppies from various shelters across the United States. It offers viewers a chance to enjoy the spirit of competition while also spotlighting the importance of animal rescue.
Those interested in attending the viewing party can find more information on the One Tail at a Time website, www.onetail.org. With a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs, One Tail at a Time is committed to making a difference in the lives of animals in need.
As the Puppy Bowl nears, the spotlight is on the participating pups, reminding us all of the joy and companionship that dogs bring to our lives. This event not only entertains but also serves as a call to action for pet adoption, making it a win-win for all involved.
