All 84 puppies playing in this weekend’s Puppy Bowl are up for adoption.
The puppies come from 44 animal rescue organizations from across the United States, CBS News reports.
The Puppy Bowl pups will be competing on Team Ruff and Team Fluff for show, which airs at 3 p.m. Sunday on Animal Planet. In addition to gridiron antics, the show features special slow motion, water bowl and kiss cams. This year’s event also will include a Hall of Fame to honor legacy players, according to the CBS report.
Puppies in the bowl range from 12 to 24 weeks old. Breeds include basset hound, beagle, boxer, English bulldog, Chihuahua, cocker spaniel, dachshund, French bulldog, German shepherd, Great Dane, Labrador retriever, pit bull, Pomeranian, poodle, shar-pei, shih tzu, springer spaniel and more.
Puppies aren’t the only animals showing off their cuteness: kittens take center stage for the halftime show.
