For the Love of Dogs with Alison Hammond: Season 13 Premiere (ITV1, Tuesday, April 1, 2025)

Generic Dog West Highland Terrier running in a field.

Alison Hammond takes the baton from the late Paul O’Grady in the heartwarming return of “For the Love of Dogs.” Stepping into Paul’s well-worn boots at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is no small feat, but Alison brings her signature warmth and humour to this beloved series.

The Season 13 premiere introduces viewers to a collection of furry faces in need of forever homes. A stray Lurcher with a fractured leg tugs at Alison’s heartstrings. Meanwhile, an overly enthusiastic Golden Retriever needs help with socialisation. And two Jack Russells face a fitness boot camp to shed those extra pounds.

It’s clear from the preview that Alison is a natural with the dogs, continuing Paul O’Grady’s legacy of compassion and care.

Tune in to the Season 13 premiere on ITV1, Tuesday, April 1st at 8:30 PM.
