Paul O'Grady meets some special dogs who need to go to unconventional homes, including a dog with star potential and a pointer cross who may have been shot at in the past.

Paul is asked to help bottle feed a pair of week-old kittens whose mother had abandoned them, and also helps to socialise a gang of dogs who arrive from a puppy farm where they were used for breeding.

Paul meets a nine-month-old terrier called Roo who is far too young to have puppies, but was found roaming the streets, heavily pregnant.

Paul falls in love with an unusually friendly Akita called Samson, as the vet team try to work out what is wrong with his injured nose. He also helps a former racing greyhound get ready for life in a domestic home.

Paul meets an albino Pekingese riddled with health problems, a dog who was rescued from a near-death experience in the Thames and a labrador pup who wasn't vaccinated and has arrived with a mystery illness.

Paul O'Grady meets an agoraphobic Staffy-cross who is too scared to go outside, a gang of four Japanese chin crosses who need to be separated, and an unusually quiet chihuahua.

In the last episode of the series, Paul meets a Pyrenean mountain dog who has a problem with her bladder and an overweight Westie who needs to get in shape.
