Hosted by country music star Beverley Mahood, Pick a Puppy chronicles the story of eight families in search for the ideal canine companion. While on this quest, each family visits various breeders, owners and animal shelters in an attempt to find the perfect fit.

This half-hour reality series celebrates the joy in finding the perfect new family member.

All eight episodes highlight their most interesting cases while also examining the interpersonal stories of vets who cope with life and death situations on a daily basis – all while managing the deeply emotional responses of pet owners. The half-hour reality series takes viewers through a passionate journey marked by trauma, fear and most often, overwhelming joy.
