Fozzie's mom was surrendered to Louie's Legacy rescue when she was pregnant with Fozzie and his siblings. He was the floofiest of his brood and definitely a real bruiser, so we knew he would be perfect for The Puppy Bowl! Fozzie proved to be a perfect Defensive Back on the field. If there was a ball coming his way, The Fozz jumped in with a massive field tackle. After his show-stopping appearance at the Puppy Bowl, he was adopted by his amazing momma Meghan and is living the best life with his sibling Tonks in Albany.
Bingo was rescued by BARRK LI, coming from a shelter in Georgia where he was on the list for euthanasia. Luckily, Bingo and his sister, Bluey (another Puppy Bowl athlete!) entered foster care in the NYC area. Both siblings thrived in their foster environments, and were first round draft picks for this year's Puppy Bowl! Bingo is now home with newlyweds Razak and Martha, and their dog Macey Gray. Both Bluey and Bingo were showstoppers at the big event. Sweet and shy Bingo loved being on the field with his sister and helped with several show stopping assists!
Bluey, like her brother Bingo, was rescued by BARRK LI from a rescue in Georgia. The siblings were actually named after an Aussie children’s show “Bluey” about two Blue Heeler pups and their family! Once in foster care in the NYC area, Bluey was picked as one of this year's star athletes in the Puppy Bowl! Both Bluey and Bingo were showstoppers at the big event. Bluey being a strong and focused Quarterback, she's a natural leader. Bluey, now named Winnie, moved in with her new mom Marissa and mom’s BFF Jade - and is loving life!
