Villalobos is tested like never before when Tia and her crew are called upon to rescue a pack of wolf-dog hybrids abandoned by a backyard breeder. With law enforcement threatening to kill the dogs, the pressure is higher than ever.

Country Matt returns to help his brother, a new parolee, overcome his fear of dogs. Earl and Tia's daughter-in-law race to save a stray running loose in scorching temperatures. And, a couple of empty nesters visit VRC in search of a new friend.

The police need Villalobos' help when a woman in the French Quarter is rushed to the hospital, leaving her dogs behind; a recent divorcee from Alabama visits the rescue to help fill the void in his home; Rhino faces a health crisis.
