Continuing a much-loved legacy

Alison stepped into the role following the death of former presenter and animal lover Paul O'Grady, and has since become a familiar face at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Her warm and hands-on approach has resonated with audiences, inspiring many to consider adoption.

The upcoming series will follow the journeys of new arrivals at Battersea, highlighting the dedication of staff and volunteers who care for the animals each day.

New stories and second chances

Viewers can expect emotional and uplifting moments as Alison participates in walking, feeding, and basic training with dogs as they prepare for rehoming. Past episodes have included rescues such as Poppet, a three-month-old lurcher who required specialist veterinary treatment before finding his feet again.

With its focus firmly on compassion and second chances, the new series promises to continue touching hearts when it returns in 2026.
