From 12 to 3 p.m. ET, as Day 3 of the NFL Draft unfolds, attendees can watch the Patriots select new players while also meeting adoptable dogs from local animal shelters. Those interested in adding a furry companion to their family can potentially find their new pet at the event.

The event will also feature appearances by Patriots alumni and cheerleaders, along with family-friendly games and activities. Fans will have access to food and beverages, giveaways, raffles, and a special Pawtriots merchandise collection.

Those unable to adopt can still contribute by bringing donations of pet food, toys, collars, and leashes to support the participating local shelters.

This event is an excellent opportunity for both draft enthusiasts and dog lovers to enjoy a festive day celebrating football and animal welfare. More information about the event is available at Patriots.com/pawtriots.
