The Austin Humane Society’s beloved Puppy Bowl is back and better than ever in 2023! The 16th annual event, presented by Heritage Ranch by H-E-B, will be held on Saturday, February 11 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the AHS shelter (124 W. Anderson Lane). The fun will continue that afternoon with Puppy Bowl LIVE! at Yard Bar (6700 Burnet Road) from 2:00-5:00 p.m.
Our 16th Annual Puppy Bowl will be an epic day of delicious tailgate bites, puppy races, Super Bowl puppy predictions, pet adoptions, and wrapping up with Puppy Bowl LIVE! at Yard Bar. The fun starts at 11:00 a.m. at the Austin Humane Society with adorable adoptables, vendors, a Kid Zone and family fun, great eats, and our 5th Annual Tailgate Competition. Puppy Bowl is free to attend, or you can upgrade your experience with our V.I.P.

Want to be a part of our 5th Annual Tailgate Food Competition? This year’s competition is bigger and better than ever! Participants are challenged to put out their best bite, and tailgaters will decide who should be named top dog. Each competitor is asked to provide 400 bites and be on-site for the competition, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on February 11th. The winner will be crowned at 1:30 p.m. and will have their name and logo proudly displayed on an AHS kennel through our Adopt a Kennel program.
