Availability information for this program

The human-animal bond is celebrated with uplifting stories about shelter pets and their new homes.

Episodes:

• For The Love of Dog

  There are two moving and impactful stories in this episode. "K9 for a Day" features a Green Bay police officer who loves dogs so much that he stops by his local animal shelter in the morning and takes dogs on ride-alongs to meet people and help them get adopted. "Oldies but Goodies" is a story about older dogs who are often overlooked at shelters. We filmed a heartwarming story about the largest senior-only dog adoption event. There may be silver in their fur, but there's gold in their hearts.

• Good Deeds

  Hosted by Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, this heartwarming episode showcases an uplifting event celebrating National Volunteer Week where people across the country went to their local animal shelters to do a day of service. More than 30 shelters from coast-to-coast participated. Part of the activities included reading Kristin's new book - "What Will I Do With My Love Today?" - to the pets. Her book is autobiographical. She was adopted and also adopted her dog. The book is about kindness and finding purpose and shows people coming together to improve their community.

• Helping Hands

  This episode features a model story about community groups coming together to provide opportunities to underserved people. We feature a pet grooming school that gives scholarships to men and women that have faced life challenges: formerly incarcerated, substance abuse and homelessness, to name a few. The story follows several students as they get to attend this school for free, learn an in-demand trade and are guaranteed a job upon graduation. The classes are taught using dogs from local animal shelters, giving them a fresh look and improved chance for adoption. People helping people helping animals. Kindness + opportunity = changed lives.

• It's Raining Cats

  With an estimated 50 to 70 million feral cats living in the United States, overpopulation and unchecked fertility has reached epidemic proportions. Left ignored, that number is expected to quickly reach 100 million. In Los Angeles alone, there are more than 3 million homeless cats on the streets. This episode goes inside a nondescript building in the San Fernando Valley in California where a team of highly-specialized veterinarians are pushing back, doing the most spay-neuters of feral cats anywhere in the country. Relying on a dedicated volunteer army of cat trappers spreading out across the city's back alleys, warehouses and industrial landscapes, this story highlights the unsung heroes that are trying to do something positive about this little-known crisis.
