If you’ve been thinking about adding a puppy to your family, this is your chance to make the adoption unforgettable.

On Saturday, July 25, Second Chance will join the New England Patriots, the Kraft family, and the New England Pawtriots for Adoption Day at Patriots Training Camp at Gillette Stadium. Dogs from shelters and rescues across the region will be looking for loving homes during a special adoption event in the CVS Plaza.

Families who adopt an eligible Second Chance puppy before the event can choose to finalize their adoption at Training Camp, where they’ll be on the receiving end of the hand off as a Patriots player delivers their new puppy on the field.

Before the adoption event begins, our puppies will take the practice field alongside Patriots players, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adopters and some unforgettable photo opportunities.

Our puppies are already getting ready for the big day, and they can’t wait to meet their future families.

The event is part of the Patriots’ annual effort to help local shelter and rescue dogs find loving homes. Joining Second Chance will be the Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts, Animal Rescue League of Boston, Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton, Buddy and Friends Animal Rescue, and Potter League of Rhode Island. Together, we’ll have dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes available for adoption.

If you’re interested in having a Patriots player hand off your new best friend, don’t wait. Eligible puppies are being added to the website as soon as they are ready for adoption, and families who adopt before Training Camp can choose this special adoption experience.

We are grateful to the New England Patriots Foundation, and the Pawtriots initiative, led by Dr. Dana Kraft, for their commitment to promoting adoption as a powerful way to improve the lives of animals and make a lasting difference.
