Puppy Bowl IX Lineup Announced

For the ninth year running, Animal Planet will be hosting the Puppy Bowl. Aired at 3 PM on Sunday, before that other Bowl, the Puppy Bowl features 35 mixed-breed puppies brought in from different shelters playing in a model stadium. There is also a kitten half-time show and the occasional pig has been known to wander onto the playing field. The goal of the show (other than raining cuteness down upon us all) is to bring attention to pets available for adoption that wouldn't otherwise receive it and encourage people to consider adopting mixed breed shelter animals rather than buying purebred animals. Click above to see pictures of this year's Puppy Bowl starting lineup, as well as pictures from past Puppy Bowls.
