Show Your City's Support For Animals
This year has been incredibly challenging for animal shelters across the country. With adoptions slowing and heartbreaking cases of abandonment and cruelty on the rise, our furry friends need us more than ever. That’s why we’re bringing you the Shelter Showdown—a tail-wagging, heartwarming fundraising competition! Shelters from playoff cities are going head-to-head to see who can raise the most funds to provide love, care, and second chances for animals in need. Your support could make all the difference for the underdogs—literally!
About The Shelter Showdown
How It Works
Each city in the final playoff games through the big game are represented by its local animal shelter.
From kickoff to the final whistle of the playoffs, these shelters will compete to see who can rally the most support from their communities.
Donations raised during the competition go directly to each shelter, supporting their lifesaving efforts.
Why It Matters
Animal shelters are critical resources for pets in need, providing care, medical treatment, and a second chance at life. By supporting your local shelter in the Shelter Showdown, you’re helping them continue this vital work.
