Lake Charles, LA, October 2, 2026 — In Lake Charles, a canine from the Calcasieu Parish Animal Shelter has been selected to make a special pick for an upcoming local sporting event. Bingo, a 9-week-old dog currently available for adoption, has been chosen to make the official selection for the Touchdown Live Game of the Week.
The game in question is slated for Week 5 of the season and will feature a matchup between the Barbe Buccaneers and the Sulphur Golden Tors. The specific role Bingo will play in announcing or determining the game pick was not detailed. This initiative highlights the local animal shelter’s efforts to draw attention to adoptable animals within the community.
The Calcasieu Parish Animal Shelter regularly seeks creative avenues to connect adoptable pets with potential families. Naming Bingo as the honorary picker for the Game of the Week provides an opportunity to showcase the dog and, by extension, other animals in need of homes. The shelter encourages community members to consider adoption.
Bingo, being a young puppy, represents many of the animals that come through the shelter system. Further details regarding the event or Bingo’s participation will be provided by Touchdown Live. The game is scheduled to take place as part of the Week 5 slate of contests between the Barbe Buccaneers and the Sulphur Golden Tors.
