It’s heartwarming to see these once homeless dogs get their shot at stardom. “Thelma,” “Louise,” and “Possum” are living proof that every dog deserves a chance at a better life. What began as a story of uncertainty has now turned into a national television appearance, a growing fan base, and most importantly, loving forever homes for these lovable pups.

The Stanley Pup broadcast is a 90-minute special airing alongside the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. Not only is it entertaining, but it also sheds light on the importance of animal adoption. You can catch the broadcast at 8:30 p.m. CT on TruTV and HBO Max on June 8, with additional airings on NHL Network on June 10.

This incredible opportunity for “Thelma,” “Louise,” and “Possum” wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Cathy Bissell, the Bissell Pet Foundation, and Brandywine Valley SPCA. Their dedication to animal welfare has made a real difference in these pups’ lives and will hopefully inspire others to consider adopting shelter pets.

So mark your calendars and get ready to cheer on these adorable pups as they make their TV debut. It’s a feel-good story that reminds us of the joy and love that rescue animals bring into our lives. Let’s show our support for “Thelma,” “Louise,” and “Possum” as they embark on this exciting new adventure.
