Alexandria, LA, November 9, 2026 —

Puppies from the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office Animal Control took on an unusual role at the recent Colfax Pecan Festival in Alexandria, Louisiana. These canine participants engaged in a “Puppy Picks” segment, an activity designed to forecast the outcome of an upcoming Bi-District playoff football game.

The specific game the puppies were tasked with predicting was the matchup between the Rosepine Eagles and the Oakdale Warriors. The event aimed to add a unique and lighthearted element to the festival, drawing attention to the local animal control unit and its adoptable animals.

Details regarding the specific predictions made by the puppies, the methodology used for their picks (such as choosing between team-branded items or treats), or the subsequent performance of the teams in the predicted game were not provided in the summary information. The event highlights creative community engagement initiatives often found at local festivals, combining entertainment with awareness for animal welfare services.

The Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office Animal Control unit regularly works to find homes for stray and surrendered animals in the parish. Events like the Colfax Pecan Festival serve as platforms for these animals to gain visibility. The specific number of puppies involved, their names, or the exact date of the festival were not detailed.

The Colfax Pecan Festival is an annual event that celebrates local agriculture and community spirit. The inclusion of the “Puppy Picks” segment represents an innovative approach to engaging festival-goers, offering a novel way to participate in local sports discussions.
