The New England Patriots? What about the New England Pup-triots? If the latter sounds more your style, you're going to love Animal Planet's 2019 Puppy Bowl XV.
With 93 contestants hailing from 51 shelters all over the U.S. and Costa Rica, the talent pool in this year's lineup is just as diverse as it is adorable. Want your stats? Each pup took a Wisdom Panel canine DNA test to help predict advantages on the field as well as to provide potential adopters more information on the breed.

Regardless of which team takes the gold, every contestant will be going home with … well, a home. That's right, the Puppy Bowl has a 100-percent adoption rate for its contestants.
