The series will once again take to the over 150-year-old Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, a UK charity, where Hammond will help the pets in their care search for a new home. There are currently more abandoned and stray dogs in need than ever.

Across six parts, Hammond will explore the stories of some of Battersea's latest arrivals, while helping the expert staff and volunteers treat and train them to put their best paw forward for their potential new owners.
