The Dog Rescuers

S04:E06 - Episode 6

In Dagenham a terrified Jack Russell called Phoebe is found abandoned in a travellers’ site full of rubbish. Surrounded by danger and left with a badly broken leg she must undergo a three hour operation but will she ever be able to walk again? When Inspector Lauren Bailey knocks on the door of a property in Brackley, she finds a dog that is particularly suffering. Sam the collie cross has an itchy and painful skin condition. Up in Yorkshire, a very lucky collie gets the chance to do what collies do best after a bleak start in life at a puppy farm in Bury. We catch up with John and Hilary Tyson-Herd as they train Ben up with their flock of sheep. Earlier this year Inspector Anthony Pulfer received a call about a dog left for dead in a suburban garden. Faced with the emaciated body of a black German Shepherd, he thought the worst until he moved. Straight onto a drip at Putney Animal Hospital, Max fights for survival. Remember Socks? After treatment for chronic fleas and a nasty ear infection, Socks has made a miraculous recovery and we join him in his new forever home with Wendy Walters. If these beauties have got you tempted to adopt then watch out for gentle giant Bella, an American Bulldog who is desperately waiting for love at Leybourne Animal Centre.
