George Kittle is a pawsitive parent of three dogs! The San Francisco 49ers tight end is one of the top TEs in the league currently. This is also evident from his stats, which state he finished his 2023 season with “65 receptions for 1,020 yards and six touchdowns in 16 appearances and starts.”

However, besides his on-field stardom, Kittle also has another side. He is a dog lover and has also chosen “Operation Freedom Paws” as his “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative. But let’s first meet the three adorable dogs.

George Kittle revealed why his dog cannot participate in dogs’ Super Bowl!

George Kittle and his wife Claire are back in Nashville after a good 2023 season. And what they decided to do this offseason was to adopt two amazing creatures in their life. Kittle shared a video of his two newly adopted little white dogs. He revealed their breed saying, “Great Pyrenees Golden Retriever mixes We’ve always wanted a Pyrenees & our friend @taylinlewan was fostering them this past week, so we met them today to seal the deal.”

Besides these cute puppies, Kittle also possesses a black color Bernedoodle, named Deenie. In the Bay Area, there are many beloved dogs, from pugs to German Shepherd, known for their unique talents like taking long naps or quickly destroying toys. However, Kittle chose Deenie, who lacks focus and stamina. In a Pro Pets series in 2019, Kittle appeared with his daughter Deenie, then 1 1/2-year-old Bernedoodle.

The athlete revealed she excels in open space, similar to his former teammate, Kendrick Bourne. However, lacking focus and stamina might help her gridiron success if she ever wanted to participate in Dogs’ Super Bowl competition (Puppy Bowl) of the league. Regardless of her future in sports, Kittle said that Deenie is already “a very, very good girl.”

Besides taking the dogs for their therapy, Kittle also works for Operation Freedom Paws.

George Kittle shared his experience with the program!

“Operation Freedom Paws” is a program that trains dogs to become service animals for veterans. This helps veterans by providing them with a dog that assists them in their daily lives after their service. George Kittle finds this organization incredible and enjoys meeting both the dogs and the veterans. In 2023, he appreciated the chance to support the organization because he has a strong interest in helping both dogs and military personnel.

Kittle revealed that his parents also support Operation Freedom Paws, and his family podcast, “Hidden Pearls Podcast,” that collaborates with the organization. Kittle values the opportunity to contribute, allowing the organization to train more dogs and assist more veterans. Additionally, he believes “My Cause, My Cleats” is important because it shows that players care about causes beyond football, bringing attention and support to various important issues.

Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Kittle is making a powerful, pawsitive impact off-the-field.
