This weekend, the Tennessee Titans are teaming up with Mars Petcare for an adoption drive. Superstar running back Derrick Henry is doing his part, especially for one dog in particular.
Henry showed up to his press conference today wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the face of a dog named “Bam Bam,” who is up for adoption in the Nashville area. It’s been a big hit.
“I’m trying to find this dog a home,” he told reporters. “If you want a dog… he’s your guy.”
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been a major part of this effort. He and Mars Petcare have pledged $100,000 in adoption fees from Oct. 22-24 for those looking to adopt pets in Nashville and Kansas City.

Tannehill and other Titans have their own dog shirts, each with a different adoptable canine. It’s a pretty great effort that they’re supporting.
Ryan Tannehill has teamed up with @MarsPetcareUS to announce they will cover $100K in adoption fees at local shelters in Nashville and Kansas City this weekend (10/22 – 10/24) to help deserving pets find loving homes.

“I am a dog person, I love dogs, have always had dogs. I have actually had a dog ever since I was a little kid. I can remember going to a shelter when I was five or six years old and picking out our family pet, Freckles. We had him for about 13 years, I think. He was a great dog and part of why I feel great about support pet adoption,” Tannehill said.
Fans and media members on Twitter are all about it.

That would be such a flex as a dog owner. “Yeah, Derrick Henry has and wore a shirt with Bam Bam on it.” https://t.co/vxCfJ8qcFI
