Puppy Bowl 2017 Lineup: Team Fluff To Take On Team Ruff For Championship
![Puppy Bowl XII](https://d.ibtimes.com/en/full/2273215/puppy-bowl-xii.png?w=736&f=e5e6b3a45dc75f8e317d28c1bae64e23)
Just weeks before the start of the 2017 Puppy Bowl, Animal Planet has revealed the complete lineup for the competition where Team Fluff will take on Team Ruff. A total of 39 puppies have made it to the starting lineup for the competition, which will begin 3 p.m. EST, Feb. 5.
Puppies with special needs are also participating in this year's competition, including dogs like Doobert, who's deaf, and Winston, a sight- and hearing-impaired pup. Puppy Bowl XIII represents 34 rescue organizations and 22 states. This year's games feature the biggest representation of disabled dogs ever.
While talking about Lucky, a 16-weeks-old female Terrier mix from shelter Operation Education Rescue in Tennessee — who lost a leg in a crate accident — referee Dan Schachner said: "Lucky has probably a little more fear and anxiety than the other dogs, so being in that group was daunting."
