PAWTRIOTS

The Kraft Family and the New England Patriots Foundation are passionate about giving dogs and pets a shot at finding loving homes. The number of pets in shelters in need has reached an all-time high, making adoption more important than ever. With more pets waiting for homes, choosing adoption is a powerful way to save the lives of animals and make a lasting difference. Teaming up with the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Potter League for Animals and the Berkshire Humane Society, fans can build lifelong bonds with pets who'll be cheering alongside you - win or lose - for seasons to come. When you adopt, you're not just gaining a best friend, you're adding another loyal fan to Patriots Nation.

Robert and Dr. Dana Kraft with the New England Patriots Foundation hosted a Pet Adoption Day at training camp on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. More than 20 puppies from the Animal Rescue League were on site and available for adoption. Players carried puppies to the field to some families, who had already adopted the animals. The other puppies were handed off to volunteers, who made them available for adoption for fans at Patriot Place.
