Confessions: Animal Hoarding (2010 - 2013)

A newlywed turns her house into an animal rescue when her Marine husband is deployed to Afghanistan, while a man is trapped in his house by a growing pack of feral dogs. 20-year-old Lauren's new home is overrun by stray animals. Her Marine husband is coming home next month and he doesn't know that the dogs have destroyed the house. Jack has become a slave to the care of his 45 feral dogs. Wracked by depression, he slips deeper into despair, as his family grows concerned.

Two women feel compelled to rescue unwanted animals, while leading dramatically different lives. A mother spends tens of thousands of dollars in veterinary bills to care for her growing menagerie. A convenience store clerk is being driven to destitution by her house full of dogs, cats, pigs and a raccoon. In both cases, family members are deeply concerned that the situation has grown dangerously out of control.

A couple turns over their new house to 80 pet cats; a woman has a houseful of exotic birds.
