Season Finale! Tune in Friday, May 29 for a new episode of DogTown
Many of the animals who arrive at the Best Friends Sanctuary come from heartbreaking situations. However, staff is on hand to help them overcome their past adversities, in essence beginning their lives anew, in hope that they one day will be adopted into loving homes.
On this Friday’s episode of DogTown Dog Care Manager Michelle Besmehn travels to Parkersburg, West Virginia to bring back several dogs rescued from a mass breeding operation and a long term Dogtown resident leans to feel safe around people.
• Parker,: A male dachshund rescued from the facility, has painfully rotten and infected teeth that, if left untreated, will eventually kill him.
• Barney : A Shih-Tzu, has sores on his paws from living in a wire cage, that prevent him from walking without pain.
• Buzz: A long-term resident of DogTown, needs Jeff Popowich's help to learn how to be safe around people, so he can live a happier, more fulfilled life.
“Rescue and Renewal” is scheduled to air this Friday, May 29 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on the National Geographic channel.
