There is no age, breed, or size restrictions in the most anticipated game of the year. The only requirement is that each player is a rescue dog. Dog Bowl III will not disappoint. Animal Planet is once again hosting a friendly game of football for adult and senior rescue dogs. The goal is to shed light on overlooked senior and special needs dogs in shelters.
