ABC News(NEW YORK) — As people are counting down the days to the Superbowl, ABC News’ Good Morning America is kicking off its “Pawdoption Bowl,” by sending NFL stars to rescue shelters across the country in an effort to help pups find new forever homes.
Kicking off the event this year is Baltimore Raven’s offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, who told GMA he took home his beloved six-year-old Pit Bull, Lola, from the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) in Baltimore, Maryland.
“I asked for the most un-adoptable pet pretty much,” Stanley said.
“If you’re thinking about getting a dog, definitely go to the shelter first,” Stanley added. “I think rescue dogs are more appreciative.”
GMA will be live streaming with Stanley from BARCS Monday at 2:30 p.m. ET. Be sure to visit Good Morning America on Facebook to see the adoptable array of dogs currently at the shelter.
