The Farmer’s Dog and Bosley’s Place Help Find Forever Homes for All-Star Puppies

We brought designated critters to the midsummer classic.

By The Farmer's Dog | July 17, 2025

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game presented by Mastercard has all of the sport’s biggest names, but traditionally it’s been low on dogs. The Farmer’s Dog and neonatal rescue Bosley’s Place teamed up to fix that this time around with a pop-up adoption event featuring four very good puppies.

The adoption zone outside of Truist Park was set up to look like a baseball field—complete with a home plate and a pitcher’s mound that hosted the cutest pitcher-manager conferences in recent memory.

Catch the highlights here:

We’re offering a free trial and $350 credit for a fresh-food subscription to those who adopt the four dogs, making sure that their new best friends get a healthy start to their new lives.

We also gave away cheer signs reading, in part, “Play B-A-L-L”—because every dog person knows you have to spell it out to prevent fetch-obsessed dogs from getting overexcited.

All in all, it was a fun-filled day at the ballpark for everyone involved—and we look forward to seeing all four puppies slide safely into their new homes.
