Second series starts Monday 13th October at 9pm on U&W

After a life-changing summer at Dogs Trust Basildon in 2024, Pete Wicks is back with the charity for a brand-new second series. This time he’s spending months alongside the teams at rehoming centres across the UK, doing whatever he can to help more dogs find their forever homes. The first series won Best Popular Factual Programme at this year's Broadcast Digital Awards. Pete experiences the highs and lows of life at Dogs Trust, from helping traumatised strays learn to trust again, to caring for endless litters of puppies in need and supporting the recovery of sick and injured dogs. And at the heart of it are the uplifting moments when these dogs finally find the loving homes they so deserve.
