Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl XII is set to take place on Feb. 7. and two tiny locals are set to appear on the field.

Arizona Humane Society's puppy Roxy will be the first dog to represent the state in the annual game.

The Chihuahua/French Bulldog mix is just 15 weeks old, but she's sure to be a crowd pleaser.

And what's even better, is that Roxy won't be alone. Her feline friend, Oscar, will also be featured on the special "Pup Close and Personal" segment, according to Arizona Humane Society.

Both Oscar and Roxy were brought to the shelter when they were just a few days old and survived with the help of dedicated foster parents and bottle feeding.

Roxy will be on Team Ruff, against Team Fluff, with nearly 50 other adoptable puppies from shelters around the country.

If you're interested in adopting Roxy and Oscar, they will be available for adoption together at the humane society's Sunnyslope Campus on Jan. 17.

Their adoption fee is $250.
