Puppy Bowl

Cute alert: Denver Int’l Airport Puppy Bowl

Animals, ,

Football fan or not, if you like puppies (and who doesn’t?) you’ll want to tune in to Denver International Airport’s (DEN) Facebook live broadcast of this year’s Puppy Bowl.

The adorable face-off takes place Friday, Feb 10 from 10 a.m. to noon (Denver time).

If you’re in the DEN terminal, make your way to Level 5, near passenger arrival, to see it live.

DEN teams up with the Denver Animal Shelter (DAS) for this event, which doubles as an adoption event.

Here are some adorable puppy pics from past DEN Puppy Bowls so you know what to expect.

Sports, ,

For the past five years, Denver International Airport (DEN) has been hosting its own version of the Super Bowl Puppy Bowl.

The event usually takes place in Jeppesen Terminal. But this year, like everything else, DEN’s 6th Annual Puppy Bowl will operate a bit differently.

Instead of being live in the terminal, the puppy playoff will be taking place offsite and broadcast live on Denver International Airport’s Facebook page.

This big game will take place on Friday, February 5 from 10 a.m. MST to 11 p.m. MST.

The mini football “stadium” will be filled with six Australian Shepherd puppies that will up for adoption on a first-come, first serve basis through Denver’s Dumb Friends League, a socially conscious animal welfare organization.

Cute, right?

Before this year’s Super Bowl kickoff, fans of football – and puppies – will be tuning in for Animal Planet’s 16th annual Puppy Bowl.

This year’s pre-Super Bowl event takes place at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb 3.

96 adoptable puppies from animal shelters around the country are lined up to play this year on Team Ruff and Team Fluff.

But that’s not the only Puppy Bowl taking place this year.

Inspired by Animal Planet’s puppy-themed event, Denver International Airport will hold its own Puppy Bowl.

DEN’s event will take place in the center of the Jeppesen Terminal on Friday, January 31 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Adoptable puppies from Denver’s Dumb Friends League will play in Denver International Airports’ fifth Puppy Bowl. Members of DEN’s Canine Airport Therapy Squad (CATS) will serve as “rufferrees”.

The rules? Who cares – these are puppies.

Here are are few photos from past DEN Puppy Bowls, including some of the fun giveaways travelers can take home.

Adorable, right?

Football fan or not, it’s hard not to love the Puppy Bowl pre-game event that is now a Super Bowl-day tradition.

The event is so cute – and so good for promoting the adoption of puppies and dogs (and cats), that Denver International Airport holds is own Puppy Bowl.

DEN’s fourth annual Puppy Bowl will take place in the main terminal from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, ­Feb. 1.

The “players” will include eight adoptable puppies and two adoptable adult dogs from the Denver’s animal shelter/humane society, called the Dumb Friends League.

Pets featured at the DEN Puppy Bowl will be available for adoption the following day or following week at the Petco Adoption Center in Denver on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you’re not able to attend the event in-person, be assured the airport will be sharing snaps of the puppies in action on social media (#DENPuppyBowl) and showing all the DEN Puppy Bowl “game footage” on the DEN Facebook page after the event.
