DogTown

- Season 2

(2008)

After an illegal dogfighting venture is discovered on a property owned by former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, 47 dogs were given a chance for a better life. 22 of the toughest cases were sent to DogTown, one of the largest no-kill animal facilities in the country. Follow the journeys of four of the most challenging Vick dogs as DogTown's team of dedicated experts work to help them overcome their violent pasts and live happier, healthier lives.

DogTown experts help a car-struck young hound who loses a limb make the difficult transition to life on three legs. A terrier mix with a history of biting and a scotty traumatized by her experience as a breeder in a puppy mill arrive for rehabilitation.

DogTown's experts rush to the Nevada desert to save a group of dogs left neglected by a hoarder.

DogTown helps rehabilitate Vivian, a Katrina survivor, who is terrified of strangers and exhibits behaviors that are similar to post-traumatic stress in humans. A dog rescued from a hoarder is found in desperate need of medical attention.

A border collie mix arrives at DogTown unable to walk without extreme pain and veterinarians hope that a high-tech underwater treadmill will help him recover from his injuries. A Weimaraner is paralyzed with anxiety. Will behavior consultants be able to help him regain his self-confidence?
