While the Super Bowl is the game of the year for most households, the Puppy Bowl doesn't fail to come in at a close second! This ruff game has pups from all over the United States competing tail-to-tail for the winning trophy and lots of treats. In the last 20 years of the Puppy Bowl, 100% of the pets featured have been adopted shortly after, making it one of the most successful annual adoption events.
1. Marshall, a Boston Terrier
Marshall, a Boston Terrier from Virginia, was a member of Team Fluff's starting lineup! He is a hearing impaired puppy, but that didn't stop him from being a great team player.
2. Gina, a Lab & Chow Chow Mix
While Team Fluff won the 2020 Puppy Bowl, Gina from Team Rough ended being that year's MVP! Gina, a Lab & Chow Chow Mix from Maryland, was playing in her rookie year and ended up stealing the hearts of the viewers and managed to get two touchdowns!
3. Bumble, an Australian & German Shepherd Mix
Bumble, an Australian & German Shepherd Mix from Spokane Valley, became the first Special Needs MVP in Puppy Bowl History! Bumble is deaf and blind, but that didn't stop her from playing her best. Bumble was just hours away from euthanasia because of her disabilities, when a local ranch rescued her and signed her up for the Puppy Bowl. She was immediately adopted by a Spokane Valley family and now is a Spokes-dog for other disabled pups.
4. Bear, a Pit Bull & Foxhound Mix
Bear, a Pit Bull & Foxhound Mix from Virginia Beach, was on the winning Team Fluff! Scoring two touchdowns, Bear managed to make a full field run for one of them while other puppies were distracted.

Loren, a Brittany Spaniel Mix, has been noted as one of the best Puppy Bowl players of all time! Scoring a touchdown for his team and winning the “Drive of the day” it’s no wonder why this undefeated pup was crowned MVP.
9. Marta, a Schnauzer & Beagle Mix
