ELUA, REPRESENTING THE ALOHA STATE IN THE PUPPY BOWL
For the second time EVER, the Aloha State is being represented in the PUPPY BOWL! On February 12, 2023, Maui Humane Society’s persevering pup, Elua, will be Hawaii’s shining star and tackling the competition during Puppy Bowl XIX on Animal Planet.
The Puppy Bowl
The PUPPY BOWL is the annual fur-tastic battle on the grand gridiron of Puppy Bowl Stadium. It celebrates adoptable pups in all their cuteness and showcases the incredible shelters and rescues, as well as their staffers, who dedicate their lives to helping animals find their fur-ever loving homes.


Celebrating all that is right with the world, Puppy Bowl is the pinnacle of competition, cuteness and pet rescue.
This year an astounding 67 shelters and rescues from 34 states bring more than 100 incredible adoptable puppy players out to sport their TEAM RUFF and TEAM FLUFF bandanas. Watch these players give it their all to chase, fetch, guard, heel, and sprint to the end zone.
The PuppyBowl airs on Animal Planet and streaming on Discovery+ starting at 9AM HST on February 12.
Elua’s journey to the puppy bowl was not without it’s trials. It all began with his fight to survive. Watch his miraculous beginnings in PART 1 of Elua’s journey to PUPPY BOW XIX!
Go Elua!!
