Washington Monday night’s game marked the Warriors’ 244th consecutive sellout at
Oracle Arena. And among the most cuddly of the capacity crowd was a pair of pups
that are currently up for adoption at Peninsula Humane Society.
Warriors forward Jordan Bell visited with the American bulldog puppies prior to
tipoff, but this wasn’t the first time Bell interacted with them. Back in
September, the Warriors rookie was part of a team contingent that helped welcome
100 displaced pets from Miami-area shelters to the Bay Area in the wake of
Hurricane Irma.
And with the Dubs playing the Heat on Monday, ‘Jordan,’ named in honor of the
Warriors rookie, and ‘Wilson,’ named at the suggestion of Heat veteran Udonis
Haslem, were among the guests of honor.
Remember our furry friends we sent to the @warriors after Hurricane Irma? We’re
reunited tonight in Oakland!

In September, Heat players and staff assisted with placing the animals on a
cargo plane, and Warriors players and staff, including Bell and Zaza Pachulia,
welcomed them to their new adopted home. Upon arrival in Oakland, the animals
were transported to multiple Bay Area shelters, including the Peninsula Humane
Society.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his fiancee, Nicole Curran, auctioned off a suite
for Monday’s game for $20,000, and all proceeds benefitted the Peninsula Humane
Society, one of the organizations that has taken in some of the animals from
Miami. And as of Monday evening, 38 animals impacted by Hurricane Irma have
already been adopted from the Peninsula Humane Society. Three cats and three
dogs are currently up for adoption, and more are becoming available as they
become cleared.
