Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2018

76 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasant.Pet | www.MountPleasantBuilders.com feature Society, had the idea one night while watching “Animal Planet.” After bringing her idea to fruition, the Puppy Bowl has simply grown in numbers and popularity over the past three years as people from all over the Lowcountry have traveled to Mount Pleasant to find their familial companions. This year’s game included 23 “pupletes” who fearlessly charged the field. Knowing that the stakes were high, the pups ran, kicked, chewed and played their hearts out, leaving it all on the field and enticing the crowd to cheer and adopt. The field was flooded with puppies of all mixes and sizes, donning their jerseys and monogrammed bandanas. They all competed in the 2018 Puppy Bowl, exhibiting their talent, athleticism and winning personalities. Their performance, along with their charm, enticed the crowd to gawk, cheer and give all 23 champions their forever homes. The Charleston Animal Society partners with many businesses and organizations throughout the year to host various adoption events. However, the Puppy Bowl is always among their most successful events. The Puppy Bowl is not just for the puppies; it is also a fun family day with games and activities for all to enjoy. Visitors appreciated a Fido Family Photo Booth provided by King & Fields Studios; a bounce house; face painting; balloon animals; and exhibits from various stores such as Hairy Winston Pet Boutique, Lily Rain, Apricot Lane Boutique, Camp Bow Wow, Bark West Mobile Dog Spa, Solardogz and Central Square at Watermark. The Charleston Animal Society, along with other sponsors and participants, strives each year to make the Puppy Bowl more than just an adoption event. Instead, they have created a fun, family-centered day that helps raise awareness along with money for a worthy cause. This year, the Charleston Animal Society raised $6,116 for the shelter, and all 23 puppy participants won the gift of a lifetime – their own loving furever homes. The Eagles may be going to Disney World, but these puppies get to go somewhere even more magical: home. pe s This is not a sofa bed, it’s an eye-catching, sleep-inducing, marvel of modern engineering.
