SHELTER ME is an inspiring series that celebrates shelter pets with positive and uplifting stories. We tell stories about people's lives being improved when they adopt a shelter pet.

Hunter, a former shelter dog, is now paired with a fireman Billy Monahan. This story features shelter pets that went from rescued to rescuer. These search-and-rescue teams are making our country safe. The teams we feature in the film have been to the World Trade Center and helped look for survivors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Rita, Superstorm Sandy and the Joplin tornadoes. When a disaster strikes and people are buried, these search dogs will be the first on the scene to save you.

We follow individuals who have adopted shelter dogs and are now volunteering at a hospital. These once-forgotten dogs are helping people heal by bringing comfort to patients and their families, not to mention joy to doctors and nurses.

We also show a dramatic rescue of homeless puppies, an innovative spay/neuter clinic and a family adopting a beautiful cat at an animal shelter.

Every year, 3-4 million dogs and cats are euthanized in America’s shelters. SHELTER ME focuses on the success stories to bring more people into the shelters to give these incredible animals a second chance. SHELTER ME is about hope, helping others and making a difference.
