Alison Hammond is preparing to dish out the dog treats and set tails wagging as she is announced as the new presenter of the award-winning ITV series, For the Love of Dogs.Alison will be heading to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home to help the animals in their care look for a new place to live, following the sad passing of much-loved presenter Paul O'Grady last spring.With more abandoned and stray dogs in need of care than ever, the six-part series will tell the stories of some of the latest arrivals at Battersea, as Alison rolls up her sleeves and helps Battersea's expert staff and volunteers to take care of the animals and get them ready for their potential new owners.
Writer Katie Piper drops into Battersea to check out a litter of puppies abandoned with their mother and a homesick bichon frise gets a kennel makeover. Turkish kangal Minnie needs help conquering her fear of weighing scales.
Alison bonds with a giddy bulldog cross puppy who has no concept of personal space and an unhealthy obsession with her gloves. A lively frenchie needs to rest to repair a leg injury and a Bernese mountain dog tries to overcome her fear of just about everything.
Alison meets the most unlikely stray to be wandering the London streets in the form of a rare Romanian mioritic shepherd who has a fear of stairs and doorways. She also helps a tiny Bichon control its bark, and there is organised chaos when a van with seven Belgian shepherd cross puppies arrives from the RSPCA.
At Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Alison meets a premature Frenchie pup who needs some help socialising, and a Yorkie Pom cross whose bad breath leads the vet team to discover a more serious issue. The presenter also befriends a heartbroken Retriever cross who needs to learn to trust again.
At Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Alison meets an excitable spaniel who's been living with a very serious knee issue. She also encounters a frustrated crossbreed desperate to use his nose, and helps teach sign language to a gorgeous Staffy who's had a lifetime of ear problems.
Alison meets an excitable Husky cross whose fear of cars is holding her back from finding her forever home. She helps find a doggy friend who will hopefully bring an ex racing greyhound out of her shell, and also encounters a determined little Presa Canario pup with one of the worst cases of bowed legs Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has ever seen.
