Foggy, a puppy who was selected to participate in Puppy Bowl XXII, didn\u2019t begin her life under bright lights or cheering crowds. She started it as a stray in California\u2019s Central Valley.<\/p>\n

Small, scrappy, and full of spark, Foggy arrived at Fresno Animal Center when she was just a few weeks old. She had an uncertain future, one shared by hundreds of thousands of puppies and dogs across California looking for homes, often in communities where veterinary care is difficult to access.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0Fresno\u00a0stray to\u00a0Puppy\u00a0Bowl Sunday<\/h2>\n

Thanks to our partnership with Fresno Animal Center, Foggy was transferred to the San Francisco SPCA to give her a better chance at adoption. This kind of collaboration is crucial to how we work, strengthening access to care in San Francisco while also supporting animals in regions like the Central Valley, where veterinary services are scarce.<\/p>\n

Foggy\u00a0received the medical care, attention, and support she needed to grow healthy, strong, and ready for adoption.\u00a0It\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0take long for her personality to shine. Determined, playful, hilarious, and a little sassy, Foggy quickly made it clear she was ready for whatever came next.<\/p>\n

Foggy\u2019s journey includes\u00a0participating\u00a0in Puppy Bowl XXII<\/a>. This February, Foggy is taking the field for the beloved\u00a0canine counterprogramming to the Super Bowl.\u00a0Airing Sunday, February 8,\u00a0on\u00a0Animal Planet, the\u00a0Discovery Channel, TBS,\u00a0truTV, HBO Max, and\u00a0discovery+, the\u00a0Puppy Bowl is the longest-running call-to-adoption event on\u00a0television, airing during the biggest football game of the year.\u00a0The\u00a0three-hour broadcast\u00a0will\u00a0feature a record 150 rescue dogs from 72 shelters across the country\u2014proof that shelter animals are ready for the spotlight\u00a0and<\/i> loving homes.<\/p>\n

How\u00a0access to care and\u00a0partnerships save lives<\/h2>\n

Foggy\u2019s journey from Central Valley stray to national television is more than just adorable. It is an example of what\u2019s possible when access to care meets collaboration.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s Central Valley faces some of our state\u2019s most significant gaps in veterinary access. Many communities are under-resourced, and shelters are often stretched beyond capacity.\u00a0At the same time, San Francisco is facing its own challenges, which is why the SF SPCA has doubled down on expanding services locally while also partnering statewide to improve outcomes for local animals.<\/p>\n

By investing in care in San Francisco and supporting shelters throughout the Central Valley,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0building a more connected animal welfare system, one that helps animals like Foggy get the care they need.<\/p>\n

This Puppy Bowl Sunday,\u00a0Foggy will take the field alongside an\u00a0unforgettable lineup of fellow\u00a0participants<\/a>, including Chappell Bone, Rupaw, and Carrie Pawshaw. And while Foggy is ready to take on the competition, her biggest win has already happened.<\/p>\n

Foggy has been adopted and is settling into her forever home full of cuddles and lifelong companionship. The outcome of her journey is what we work toward every day, one animal at a time.<\/p>\n

During\u00a0fiscal year 2025<\/span><\/a>, the SF\u00a0SPCA provided care to\u00a0nearly 98,000\u00a0animals and delivered more than $5.2 million in free and reduced-cost veterinary services in San Francisco, while supporting thousands\u00a0of\u00a0animals through partnerships in the Central Valley. Foggy\u2019s Puppy Bowl moment helps share that work on a national stage, reminding viewers everywhere that adoption changes lives, and that access to veterinary care makes even more Happy Tails possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
