As the New Orleans Saints make their Super Bowl debut against the Indianapolis Colts, 20 puppies will steal my attention in Animal Planet's 6th annual Puppy Bowl this Sunday, 3 p.m. E/P.
Not only are the puppies irresistibly adorable, they're all Petfinder alumni, making Petfinder the temporary "home team" for all the players. (See a full list of the participating shelters.)
Of course, it's Petfinder tradition to recognize the many adoptable namesakes of this year's Super Bowl stars. Take a look at some of these adorable adoptables as you get yourself hyped up for the game:
In the Indianapolis Area:
- 27 dogs named "Indy"
- Six dogs named "Colt"
- 39 dogs named "Austin" (perhaps after wide receiver Austin Collie)
- 38 dogs named "Dallas" (perhaps after tight end Dallas Clark)
- 38 dogs named "Reggie" (perhaps after receiver Reggie Wayne)
- 12 dogs named "Pierre" (perhaps after wide receiver Pierre Garcon)
