The countdown to the big game is on (whether or not you like it), and this year, Humane Animal Partners is celebrating in the best way possible… by helping pets find their forever homes!

Tuesday, February 3 – Sunday, February 8 HAP joins the 2026 Great American Rescue Bowl Adoption Event, a nationwide celebration of adoption in partnership with North Shore Animal League America and Great American Family, and in honor of the 60th Super Bowl, we’re bringing some very special adoption incentives to the lineup:

• $60 adoption fees for adult animals
• $60 off adoption fees for puppies and kittens

Plus, score a $50 gift certificate for HAP pet wellness services if you wear a football jersey at the time of adoption!

Curious who’s currently warming up the bench? Take a peek at our adoptable pets and see who’s ready to join your home team.

Every animal available for adoption is already spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, so you can focus on the fun part: falling in love.

The Rescue Bowl adoption event is happening at all three Humane Animal Partners locations across Delaware, but please note, HAP Rehoboth Beach is closed on Sundays:

Wilmington
Tuesday: 12–7pm
Wednesday–Sunday: 12–5pm

The adoption event leads up to the 2026 Great American Rescue Bowl, airing on February 8 from 12–2 PM EST on Great American Family and streaming on Great American Pure Flix. The game features two teams of adoptable puppies and kittens facing off in an adorable showdown: The Cuddle Crew vs. The Snuggle Squad.

Watching is fun but adopting is better… Make your Rescue Bowl experience extra special by cheering with a pet who’s already curled up on your couch!
