Read more info below:
With a joy and passion larger than life, Amanda Giese treats the seemingly hopeless animals in her Washington state home, primarily focusing on dogs that others have given up on. Alongside Amanda are her two kids, Jade and Beast, and her partner Gary. Together, the family cares for animals in need and helps them get the second chances and loving forever homes they deserve. Where others see animals with no hope, Amanda sees an animal full of love who needs her help. AMANDA TO THE RESCUE premieres Sunday, October 28 at 9PM ET/PT.
Throughout the season, Amanda will launch large scale rescue missions across the country to save dozens of animals with major medical or special needs, from being euthanized. She’ll journey to crowded California shelters that are overrun with displaced and injured animals from deadly wildfires. Amanda will also fly to Puerto Rico to help a dog rescue operation that needs assistance in their recovery efforts after hurricane Maria, and to Hawaii after the eruption of Kilauea to lend a helping hand by relieving the shelters of their overcrowdings and helps bring dogs in need to safety.
In every story in AMANDA TO THE RESCUE, Amanda provides a second chance to animals that she says are “differently abled,” getting them rehabilitated and ready for adoption. She strongly believes that just because an animal isn’t perfect doesn’t mean that they are not the perfect pet. Amanda’s goal and the mission of her foundation, Panda Paws Rescue, is to end the homelessness, abuse and neglect of all animals. She strives to focus on quality over quantity and taking in those that are major medical or special needs.
With her shaved head and raucous sense of humor, Amanda is out to prove that kindness is cool. And while there are ups, downs and unexpected turns on their journey, Amanda and her family remain advocates for all animals and a much-needed voice for animals in need.
AMANDA TO THE RESCUE is produced for Animal Planet by Indigo Films where David M. Frank and Christopher Voos serve as Executive Producers. For Animal Planet, Keith Hoffman is Executive Producer and Sarah Russell is Producer.”

I absolutely adore Amanda to the Rescue and her entire family, 4 legged and 2 legged and especially the precious 2 legged doggie ( I don’t know his name as I just started watching this show). Today’s show with the 5 dogs from Puerto Rico and their adoption stories is something I could watch again and again. I have my own rescue doggie who had been left out in the cold and rain last December in Washington. I got her, Kona, last March and cannot imagine life without her. She’s a Chihpin and is my velcro doggie. Congratulations on your… Read more »

I love animal planet and this new show Amanda to the Rescue is great. This family is the best helping needy animals.
I love Animal planet, So many show’s that’s how’s how some people go out and help save these animals. Amanda show really touch me in the heart. Her and Her family help so many and last show with the frenchie made me cry so bad. A lot of breeders don’t take the plain in how pup are unhealthy. I had a CAS from Russia and at 3 month he had hip dysplasia in both hips, the left one was worst then the right and was bad. So both of his hips. I told breeder and sent her x-rays and she… Read more »
There are plenty of dogs in mainland USA that need to be rescued. Bringing dogs from other places(such as Puerto Rico) brings new diseases and parasites.
Charlie, while there is room for improvement in the US about how we treat strays, kill them in so many days, etc….we’ve come a long ways. Many shelters have committed themselves to be no kill. Third world countries got nothing…no spay and neuter programs, no foster programs, not even humane ways of getting rid of strays! So anytime we can help them, God bless everyone involved!
Trying to figure why she shaves her head. I thought she had cancer , but I guess that’s that the case. It looks kind of corny. I like pitbulls and parolees much better.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I have cancer and it is no laughing matter. Don’t judge by looks. In Gods eyes we are all the same.
I love Animal Planet and this new show “Amanda to the Rescue” is one of the best. She is so inspiring and loving. I hope this on for many years.
Amen to that. I agree
Awesome awesome awesome show…5+stars!!! MY NEW FAVORIDE program!!!
