Love the Puppy Bowl?

Animal Planet’s answer to today’s gridiron behemoth of a game, Puppy Bowl V, starts at 3pm ET and seems to have the dog world in a tizzy.  After all, who can resist the hijinks of an adorable puppy, let alone 20?  The icing on the cake is that all of the dogs participating in this year’s Puppy Bowl are available for adoption (hello, Mr. President, are you listening?).  While your chances of scoring one of the ACTUAL puppies involved aren’t great, there are PLENTY of others in local Charlotte-area shelters that need good homes.  And as cute as puppies are, please don’t overlook the older dogs that are available for adoption.  One of the best resources for finding local dogs that need their furever homes is Petfinder, which allows you to search for pets based on your preference for gender, breed, age, size etc.  So if you’re looking to bring home a new family member, check out your local shelters and save a life!
