New York, NY – February 11, 2022 — GAC Family today announced “Great American Rescue Bowl” will premiere on the network on Sunday, February 12, 2023.  The special event will showcase the many talents of adorable kittens, puppies, cats and dogs available for adoption at shelters throughout the US.

“The plight of animal homelessness continues to be pervasive throughout the country, so being able to televise a proven difference maker in helping pets find their forever homes was an easy decision,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of GAC Media.  “We’re incredibly proud to welcome ‘Great American Rescue Bowl’ to GAC Family and are excited about this massive, fan-favorite event being an annual anchor to the network’s pet-centric programming.”

“I couldn’t be more excited that ‘Great American Rescue Bowl’ is coming to GAC Family,” said Beth Stern, TV host, foster parent and national spokesperson, North Shore Animal League America.  “Hundreds of shelters across the country have participated throughout the years and tens of thousands of animals have been adopted as a result of these special events. I look forward to continuing the rich tradition of representing our kitten players and saving lives.”

“We are thrilled that ‘Great American Rescue Bowl’ and bowl watch parties will be returning in 2023,” said Joanne Yohannan, SVP, Operations, North Shore Animal League America.  “Sharing stories of our lifesaving work and highlighting the beautiful, homeless animals available for adoption in shelters across the country is such a meaningful way to save lives and helps us continue our mission to rescue, nurture, adopt and educate.”
