Animal Planet has reinvented the Big Game with the cutest, fuzziest and - at times- fiercest players on the field. When we say "rookie" we aren't kidding - some of these athletes are just nine weeks old. From bulldogs to boxers and everything in between, it's a fantastic team playing in a spectacular brand-new stadium. Join us for tackles, fumbles and fouls on the third annual Animal Planet Puppy Bowl premiering Sunday, February 4, 3-6 p.m. ET with encore presentations at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET only on Animal Planet.
As part of this unique special, viewers will learn how they can adopt a pet of their own here, at animalplanet.com, where viewers can link to Petfinder, our online, zip code-enabled database, and learn more about adopting or fostering a pet in their own community through reputable shelters, animal hospitals and vets.
Don't miss the kitty half-time show with adorable bundles of energy playing their hearts out! After the show, watch for the world premiere of the Puppy Bowl Tailgate Party - featuring Choop the Chihuahua, T-Rex the Poodle and Jake the Jack Russell as they watch the big plays from Game Day's hottest tailgate party.
I'm sure they'll re-run it. I did watch parts of it, and the puppies made me laugh. The kitten halftime show was kind of boring. I wonder how many people gave serious consideration to adopting a shelter animal. I really want to get a dog, I've just been hesitant because I travel a fair amount, and most weeks I have some kind of meeting in the evenings after work so I'm not on a regular schedule. Plus I don't have the time that it would require to train a puppy. I'm taking some old blankets over to an animal shelter one day this week, and I don't know if I can walk out of there without bringing a dog with me, though.
Many shelter animals are already trained, though, aren't they?

Yes, when I was looking at the Petfinder website I noticed that all of them are spayed or neutered. There are so many, it kind of made me a little sad. Plus they have all of the stories of how each one ended up at the shelter. Some people treat animals so badly.
