Amanda and her kids travel to Hawaii, where they meet dogs perfect for Panda Paws: a deaf mother-daughter Catahoula duo, Loco Moco, a puppy who may be blind, and Super Scootie, a senior in need of a home after years of neglect.

Amanda travels to California to pick up special needs dogs at a local SPCA; she comes home with a Rottweiler puppy with a severe eye injury, a husky shepherd mix covered in maggots and two small puppies whose ears have fallen off.
