Amanda travels to California to pick up special needs dogs at a local SPCA; she comes home with a Rottweiler puppy with a severe eye injury, a husky shepherd mix covered in maggots and two small puppies whose ears have fallen off.

Felines take over when Amanda helps an energetic kitten facing euthanasia after breaking his leg for a second time, along with a tiny kitten born with malformed front legs; a 3-legged Husky-Rottweiler pup needs a forever home.

Amanda works with Tia of Pit Bulls & Parolees to rescue a 3-legged Shepherd mix as part of a road trip rescue mission. She picks up 16 dogs along the way, including a young lab with a brain issue and a puppy mill survivor.
