Paul falls in love with a four-month-old shih tzu with a serious health condition, helps a nervous pair of chihuahuas, and struggles to contain a boisterous mutt.

Paul meets more dogs struggling to find a home, including a golden retriever with an incontinence problem and a boisterous border collie with a bad hip - who needs Paul's help in the hydrotherapy centre. He also calls in on a tiny pregnant mongrel, and spends time with an OAP Patterdale who just needs a bit of company in her twilight years.

In episode one, Paul meets two Maltese Terrier puppies who staff suspect may have come from a puppy farm in Romania, having been sold to a family in the UK for an eye-watering £4000. They were brought into Battersea after the family struggled to cope with looking after them. Paul also meets a three-month-old Spaniel-cross who was taken to the Brands Hatch branch of Battersea by his owners. He is covered head-to-toe in mites and staff believe he might also be the result of puppy farming.
