“Great American Rescue Bowl,” America’s most beloved pet adoption special, features spectacular scrimmages between SU-PURR teams of shelter kittens matriculating the ball down the field. Once the kittens hit the showers, it’s time for puppy playoffs in a dogged game of punt, pass and kick. “Great American Rescue Bowl” showcases the nation’s passion and commitment to animal rescues, features stories of saving pet lives through fostering and honors Animal League America and its lifesaving work with a vast network of national and international shelter partners enabling potential adopters to find a best friend while saving more pets lives.

Every year, an estimated 1.5 million homeless pets are euthanized. The goal of “Great American Rescue Bowl” is to create awareness for pet adoption while showing the most beautiful pets in the world are available in shelters right in your own neighborhood.

“Saving pet lives has been a personal mission of mine for more than a decade and North Shore Animal League America is a profound partner in saving as many homeless pets as possible each year,” said Bill Abbott, president and CEO, Great American Media. “I am always grateful to showcase these cuddly animals available for adoption because every life saved brings us one step closer to emptying the shelters forever.”

“North Shore Animal League America is truly grateful to Great American Media for their continued commitment to shining a light on the plight of homeless animals,” said Joanne Yohannan, SVP of operations, North Shore Animal League America. “Great American Rescue Bowl gives voice to the voiceless by telling the compelling stories of our lifesaving work with passion, humor and lots of cuteness all while encouraging adoption.”
