The episode begins with Dr. Jeff and his team receiving a call from a concerned citizen regarding a stray dog wandering around the streets without any identification. Upon examining the dog, they notice that he is very underweight and has a large number of ticks on his skin, causing him to be anemic. Dr. Jeff and his team immediately take the dog in for treatment and try to nurse him back to health.
Soon after, Dr. Jeff and his team are called to a ranch to deal with a 6-month old colt that is suffering from a broken leg. The team decides to operate on the colt to try and save its leg. With the help of a number of volunteers, the team manages to operate on the colt and put a cast on its leg.

Dr. Jeff and his team work tirelessly to provide the animals with the best possible care, and many of them are successfully treated and able to return home to their owners.
The highlight of the episode, however, is when a family comes in with a dog they found wandering the street and hope to adopt. Dr. Jeff and his team perform a full check-up on the dog and find that it has a serious heart condition that requires immediate attention. The family is distraught, but Dr. Jeff reassures them that with treatment, the dog may be able to recover. The family decides to adopt the dog and Dr. Jeff performs the surgery needed to help the recovery process.
As is customary with the show, emotions run high as Dr. Jeff and his team work to save the animals' lives and help them find new homes. The show highlights the dedication and skill needed to save animals and provides viewers with a much-needed glimpse into the world of animal medicine and welfare.
