For the Love of Dogs with Alison Hammond

The comedian follows the work of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London, meeting staff involved in treating, training and rehoming animals. In the first episode, Paul meets seven staffie puppies whose mother has rejected them, before he visits to a 13-year-old mongrel who was found wandering the streets of North London. Elsewhere, Paul lends a hand building a ladder and a platform for nine-year-old Archie.

Paul meets a 10-month-old puppy who has been brought into Battersea twice for being too boisterous, before helping to soothe a pointer cross who has had a hard life.

Paul helps to feed a pair of week-old kittens whose mother has abandoned them. However, as the kittens grow older, the team discover that one of them has a neurological problem affecting his movement. Later, Paul meets a group of dogs from a puppy farm who have had very little human interaction in the past, and need help learning how to socialise.

Paul meets a nine-month-old terrier who was found wandering the streets whilst heavily pregnant, before spending time with a three-month-old puppy called Pancake, who is having problems with his eyesight. Elsewhere, a dog arrives at Battersea who was found dumped with a terrible case of mange and an injured leg.

The comedian meets Samson, an akita receiving treatment for an injured nose. Elsewhere, things are looking up for Hugo, who may have found a family to adopt him, the same family that previously adopted his brother. Paul also meets a former racing greyhound who has spent most of his time in kennels, and is ready for life in a domestic home.

In episode six, Paul meets the most unusual looking dog he's ever seen. Boo, the albino Pekingese is riddled with health problems which make him harder to rehome. He needs an operation on his eye otherwise he might end up losing it. Paul helps to soothe Splash, a dog who was rescued from a near death experience in the Thames and is now feeling understandably nervous. Paul also meets Norah, a Labrador pup who wasn't vaccinated and has arrived with a mystery lurgy.

In episode seven, Paul meets an agoraphobic Staffy cross who is too scared to even go outside for a wee. Paul needs to think outside the box reassure Barry otherwise he'll never find a home. When an usually quiet chihuahua arrives, Paul suspects she could be down in the dumps because she's got a limp and might be in pain. Paul also meets a gang of four Japanese Chin crosses who've had a bit of a family tiff and need to be separated.

Paul meets a Pyrenean mountain dog that has a problem with its bladder. Elsewhere, a dog suffering from skin problems needs surgery on its eyes, and Paul also helps a West Highland white terrier that is almost twice the weight it should be get into shape.
