Rescue dogs from Tampa Bay to Compete in 2024 Puppy Bowl
Puppy Bowl is a beloved annual event showcasing a multitude of adorable pups from various regions across the country. This year, viewers will encounter at least two rescue puppies from the Tampa Bay region – a canine named Maisey and a dog named Kalani.
St. Petersburg non-profit, Compassion Kind , rescued Maisey in 2023. Founder of Compassion Kind, Aja Nikiya Estro, said, “During Puppy Bowl, she would just sit and pose in the cutest ways, and I think her pictures really just stole their hearts.”
They further elaborate that they often come across cases involving dogs on the streets or experiencing abuse. Maisey is one of the dogs they rescued from the streets.
Maisey’s journey has taken a delightful turn, transitioning from the streets to basking in her newfound stardom. Compassion Kind facilitated her submission to Puppy Bowl. Subsequently, she joined “Team Ruff” this year.
