     I totally skipped out on puppy bowl. I just feel like they are skirted so far away from their original purpose.

     Puppy Bowl was started to promote adopting shelter dogs.

     This year (and probably previous years as well) the puppies in the puppy bowl were decided several weeks before puppy bowl. Most of the dogs already been adopted, with very few actually put ON HOLD and unavailable to adopt for multiple weeks until after the event.

     On top of that, all the dogs shown this year were either apparent highly sought after purebreds or designer dogs. Pekinese, Pugs, English Bulldogs, Frenchies, Min Pin x Doodle, Chi x doodle, Cocker Spaniels, Great dane, carin terrier, Schipperke, even a fucking rough collie which is exceptionally rare let alone as a puppy in a shelter.

     I just feel like puppy bowl went from promoting adoption to just finding the cutest and rarest puppies to get better ratings. And it just makes me sick.
