Kansas City Chiefs defensie tackle Derrick Nnadi has celebrated each Chiefs win this season by covering the adoption fees for one dog at a local animal shelter called KC Pet Project, which is awesome.
But now he’s doing something even better – Nnadi announced he’ll cover the adoption costs (which is about $150 per dog) for over 100 dogs that are up for adoption at the shelter in celebration of the Chiefs’ win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 54.
Nnadi developed a soft spot for rescue dogs – which are some incredible dogs – after he got one named Rocky in his senior year in college while at Florida State.
The third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft shared his excitement about the news on Monday:

A spokesperson for the shelter said they couldn’t be happier. From ABC News:
“Kansas City is on cloud nine this morning with last night’s win and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Derrick Nnadi on this wonderful initiative,” Tori Fugate, the chief communications officer at Kansas City Campus for Animal Care, told ABC News.
Nnadi’s foundation has sponsored a dog’s adoption fee after each Chiefs win this season and “all of the dogs sponsored have found forever homes as a result,” Fugate explained. “Thanks to his incredible support, more than 100 available dogs in our care will have their adoption fees sponsored starting today.”
Now that is one special way to celebrate a Super Bowl title.
