This Week on Dogtown! New Hope!

Posted Apr 10 2009 11:39pm

This week'sDogtowntakes viewers on a journey of hope with three dogs who have been through the ringer.  Make sure you tune in tonight for the full episode, check your local listings for show times!


Rush, a shepherd mix airlifted from a Middle East war zone, is withdrawn and frightened of loud noises — a suspected canine case of post-traumatic stress.  After being bitten by the dog, trainer John Garcia begins to work with Rush so that he can teach him to trust.   

Then, adoption specialist Kristi Litrell meets a rejected beagle named Jasmine who stumbles when she walks and can’t control her bladder.  Kristi test-drives a possible solution — doggy diapers.  

We also meet Scruffy, a terrier mix, who managed to survive Hurricane Katrina but is now petrified of new situations, from walking through doorways and onto floor surfaces to getting into cars.
