It’s a dog’s life out there, but there's hope for the animals that have found their way to DogTown - a sprawling sanctuary in southern Utah.
For many dogs, DogTown offers a second chance for rehabilitation, redemption and a loving home. Here, nearly 2,000 homeless animals, many damaged by illness or abuse, are looked after by a big-hearted team of vets and carers.
Each episode follows several dogs’ stories, as a full staff of veterinarians, trainers, and caregivers work to help them overcome medical and behavioural issues to transform them from troubled animals to adoptable pets.
