Schade has been working with the doggies on the Animal Planet show for 19 years and is believed to be the longest serving member of the “Puppy Bowl” crew. She also works the kitten halftime show and calls filming both her favorite week of the year.

Puppy Bowl XXI is the 21st anniversary of arguably the cutest pre-Super Bowl event. The "competition" each year has two teams of dogs from shelters and rescues around the world facing off in a football game. The event encourages viewers to consider adopting a dog from an animal shelter or rescue rather than a breeder.

Warner Bro’s Puppy Bowl XXI is an annual television program similar to the American football championship, the Super Bowl, but featuring puppy players. It is returning for its 21st year on Sunday, February 9 and will feature 142 rescue puppies from 80 shelters across 40 states and two countries.
