Another amazing episode of Dogtown will air tonight on the National Geographic channel. Be sure to check your local listings for the time (or better yet, set up a series recording on your DVR)!

Dog care manager Michelle Besmehn travels to Los Angeles to rescue several older dogs from an overcrowded puppy mill. Many have severe medical issues and haven’t seen a vet before. One younger dog, a Chihuahua named Mei Mei, likely spent her life in a cage, and needs Michelle’s training to become house-trained; and Gertie, a bulgy-eyed shih tzu, requires the right home for her special needs. Then, Charro, an adult Lab mix with a persistent cough, is rescued from a neglectful home by an animal welfare group. Dr. Mike performs a risky lung surgery on Charro that he’s never done before.
And just so you will want to watch even more, here is a video clip of a Chihuahua that was rescued from a puppy mill. Will he pass the socialization test before being put up for adoption?
I’ve got to figure out how to get my blog to look more professional like this one.
Thanks for sharing this info – I’ll surely watch if I can!
