With such an outpouring of love over last year’s event, Hallmark Channel has expanded the second annual 2019 American Rescue Dog Show to two nights in a row — Sunday, February 17, and Monday, February 18.

The top 10 competitors will face off in the finals where one proud pooch will be crowned Best in Rescue.

In addition to the competition ring, the show will share stories about adoptees and their new “forever homes.” The importance of fostering homeless dogs and adopting from local animal organizations is also highlighted. Whether already in homes or waiting to be adopted, these dogs are all heart and full of personality.

The canine competition supports the network’s Adoption Ever After initiative, which seeks to end pet homelessness by correcting misconceptions about shelter animals and inspiring viewers to open their homes and hearts to shelter pets. So, get a loving mutt-igree and you will ask yourself, “Who rescued who?”
The Pedigree Foundation is providing a total of $100,000 in non-profit grants to the winners and Adopt-a-Pet.com will be showcased throughout the show as a great resource for viewers to find their next pet.

I was so very happy to see rescue babies being loved! This is such a great idea! We have two rescues with very different stories! We don’t know much about Mumford ;our 9 yr old yellow lab, story. Only that he needed to learn everything about being a pet when we got him. Now he’s a couch surfing house hippo with a lot of love to give. Our other boy Wade is a 15 month old English lab that has a very strange condition that caused total hair loss at 9 days old. We started in newborn clothes and now in children’s size 7/8 that we convert to his little body. Also, sunblock is a necessity! You can see his transition on his Instagram “wrinkleywade”
