For the first time, puppies from Miami-Dade County Animal Services will participate in Puppy Bowl XII.
Animal Services is the only public shelter in Florida that will have puppies participating. The puppies were chosen based on their playfulness and unique personalities.
They include a Labrador/Chow mix named Star, a Cocker Spaniel named Luna, a Terrier mix named Timon and a Labrador mix named Donny. Star and Timon were the pups that made the starting lineup.
Animal Planet worked with 44 different animal shelters and rescue organizations from across the U.S. this year to fill the rosters of #TeamRuff and #TeamFluff with adoptable players.
The event will return to Animal Planet on Sunday, Feb. 7 from 3-5 p.m.
