Martin Rütter's Animal Shelter Heroes - Season 2Tobias has been working for the Siegen animal shelter for over 20 years. Today he and Martin look after the ten-year-old golden retriever mix Falco, who cannot be rehomed due to various biting incidents. The difficult male dog should find a new four-legged roommate at the animal shelter so that he is not alone. Martin and Tobias test out which one suits him at the dog meadow.

Meanwhile, Detlef's fragile nerves are being put to the test. Today, alongside volunteer Andrea Hellmann, he is responsible for two donkeys. Andrea is an animal protection teacher and also manages the animal shelter's 24-hour emergency number. The two of them are supposed to go on a mission to a retirement home with the donkeys. The donkeys just have to get into the trailer first. A part of the mission that is not that easy, as Deffi painfully learns.
