Animal SOS Australia is an Australian TV series that goes behind the scenes at veterinary hospitals, animal shelters and wildlife sanctuaries to show the tireless, life-saving and, at times, heartbreaking work they do to help animals and people in need. 

Every day across Australia, thousands of animals are taken to vets and clinics. Sometimes, it’s just for a general check-up, but for others it could be a life or death medical emergency. Then, there are those that desperately need a safe place to call home.

From the seemingly ordinary, to the outright extraordinary. From mending broken bones, to finding forever homes Animal SOS Australia is a heart-warming show that captures the love, joy, challenges and memories we share with our pets, and highlights the hard working heroes who care for them.

Animal SOS Australia was co-created and is narrated by Lara Shannon, one of Australia’s leading canine experts and animal welfare advocates.
