Pawtriots Dog Adoption & Draft Watch Party
Join Us at the Pawtriots Adoption Event at Gillette Stadium
We’re heading to Gillette Stadium—and bringing some incredible dogs along with us.
The Potter League for Animals is proud to be part of the Pawtriots Dog Adoption & Draft Watch Party, hosted by the Kraft family and the New England Patriots Foundation during the 2026 NFL Draft.
On Saturday, April 25, fans, families, and dog lovers are invited to the Sports Illustrated Pavilion at Gillette Stadium for a one-of-a-kind day that blends football and second chances.
From 12–3 PM, as Day 3 of the NFL Draft unfolds, you’ll have the chance to:
- Meet adoptable dogs from local shelters (including ours)
- Spend time getting to know each animal—no rush, no pressure
- Connect with our team to learn more about adoption and the animals in our care
If the connection feels right, you may just head home with a new addition to your lineup.
The event will also feature:
- Appearances by Patriots alumni and cheerleaders
- Photo opportunities and family-friendly activities
- Food, beverages, and giveaways
- Raffles and exclusive Pawtriots merchandise
Not ready to adopt? You can still make an impact. Guests are encouraged to bring donations of pet food, toys, collars, and leashes to support participating shelters.
Whether you’re there for the draft, the dogs, or a little bit of both, it’s a meaningful way to spend the day—and to be part of something bigger.

We hope to see you there.
