Paul O'Grady and the team use an unconventional technique to calm down an overexcited mongrel this week at Battersea. Paul also meets a young German shepherd cross with some hidden health problems and a shihtzu pug cross who needs cheering up after being brought in because his elderly owner couldn't look after him any more.

This week Paul O'Grady meets dogs who need some serious TLC. There's an unusual looking staffy cross who doesn't seem to be able to catch the eye of a new owner, an English bulldog who needs airway surgery to help her breathe and the team are worried about a german shepherd who's struggling to keep her food down.
