Madera County, CA – Lights! Cameras! Puppies! Madera County’s inaugural Puppy Bowl turns into a blowout! Team ‘Bits’ was pawsitively ready for the big game, running up the score 35 to nothing over Team ‘Kibbles’ in what became the most cuddly and cutest matchup of all time. “Arlo” quarterbacked Team Bits to victory scoring 5 touchdowns and was named Most Valuable Pup! Team Kibbles and Team Bits had been training for the big game for the last couple of months practicing their zoomies, toy interceptions and nap breaks. The MadCo Puppy Bowl featured a family of Australian Cattle Dog mix puppies and will be ready for adoption soon. The game was livestreamed with announcers Stephen A. Sniff and Anderson Scooper with the play-by-play action and “Good Bunny” making a cameo at halftime. Our referee for today’s game was Ed Doghuli. Madera County has a rich tradition in the national Puppy Bowl when “Frankie” and “Niner” were featured in the 2024 game and were adopted by a family in Oregon. Madera County Animal Services is open Monday-Friday from 10 AM - 4 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM - 2 PM.
