In this special edition of

In this special edition of
Animal Planet Heroes: Phoenix, we focus on the rescues of very young animals. The AHS often comes to the aid of puppies and kittens, sometimes because their curiosity has landed them in trouble, sometimes because they are the victims of neglect. We look back at some of the most dramatic rescues, and in new interviews, the EAMTs share their thoughts and feelings about them. We also catch up with the rescued animals now that they are not so young. This episode features
Traci Pepper and Andy Starr's rescue of a puppy from a sewer pipe; Marisa McHugh and Guy Bell's rescue of kittens from an attack and wall cavity; Racelle Carlson's negotiations with a neglectful puppy breeder; Traci Pepper's rescue of a puppy with its head jammed in a car wheel; and Racelle Carlson's discovery of a house full of cats, kittens, clutter and trash.
