Every year, shelters and rescues across the country spend countless hours finding homes for millions of abandoned animals. In Animal Planet's new two-part special, Pet Nation Renovation, two deserving shelters receive much needed top-to-bottom makeovers providing animals with a more comfortable stay while awaiting their new family. After the renovations are complete, each shelter holds a local adoption event resulting in many happy "tails." Hosted by animal expert and home renovation enthusiast Dave Salmoni, and featuring the animal shelter renovation experts from Project Pawsitive, the Pet Nation Renovation team completely transforms two shelters - Bandit's Adoption and Rescue of K-9s (BARK) in Ashland, Virginia and Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) in Pontiac, Michigan.Part one of Pet Nation Renovation premieres on Saturday, September 17 at 10/9c on Animal Planet.
