San Diego shelters send three puppy players to the XIX Puppy Bowl pitting team Ruff against team Fluff on national TV
The football field will be meticulously groomed, cheerleaders will energize the crowd and players will suit up — then the fur will begin to fly.
It’s the first time two brothers have played together on a Puppy Bowl team, says Helen Woodward spokeswoman Jessica Gercke. Thompson suspects that the Humane Society’s recent influx of abandoned and stray pets is related to inflation and the rising cost of pet food and health care. At Helen Woodward, a private, nonprofit shelter, a team routinely transfers adoptable animals from overcrowded high-kill shelters elsewhere.
In December, the Humane Society had a record of 606 dogs in its care, says spokeswoman Nina Thompson. Kennels were full, foster families were recruited, and the shelter’s classrooms and conference rooms were turned into makeshift pet enclosures. A couple of days later, the shelter received a casting call notice from the Puppy Bowl. Erin was a great fit because Thompson says she is “easy to handle, likes chasing balls and playing with toys, and loves people and other dogs.”
