Pete Wicks Returns With For Dogs’ Sake Season 4 — And the Emotional New Twist Could Be the Show’s Biggest Yet

Pete Wicks is heading back to where his heart truly belongs.
After winning over viewers with his unwavering dedication to rescue dogs, the television personality has confirmed that Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake is officially returning for a fourth season—and if his early promise is anything to go by, fans should prepare for the most emotional chapter yet.
This time, the series isn’t just coming back. It’s getting bigger, more personal, and for the first time ever, going beyond the UK.
“The Best Series Yet”
Pete announced the show’s return on Instagram alongside a first-look teaser, giving viewers a glimpse of his reunion with the Dogs Trust team in Essex.
The clip shows him walking back through the rescue centre’s gates before immediately getting involved with the dogs and staff who have made the programme such a success.
For Pete, this has never simply been another television project.
“It’s official—we are back! Series 4 of Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake is underway and I think it’s gonna be the best series yet!” he wrote.
He also shared just how meaningful the series has become to him.Pete Wicks' huge career update as hit TV show set to return for two more  series - The Mirror

“I am so blessed to be able to work alongside Dogs Trust in the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs in need… this is all I’ve ever wanted to do.”

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant explained that the new season will once again shine a light on the remarkable work carried out by Dogs Trust staff across Britain.
“We are travelling across the country bringing you the raw emotion and real stories of life at Dogs Trust, the beautiful dogs and the heroes who help.”
A Major New Twist No One Saw Coming
While loyal viewers can expect more touching rescue stories and unforgettable canine transformations, Season 4 also introduces the biggest change in the programme’s history.
For the first time since the series began, Pete will travel overseas.
The production will feature two special international episodes, taking viewers behind the scenes with Dogs Trust partner organisations in other countries to explore how rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming are carried out around the world.
Although the destinations remain under wraps, the international episodes promise to give fans a completely fresh perspective on animal welfare beyond the UK.
According to the broadcaster, the overseas specials will expand the programme’s mission while keeping its emotional heart firmly intact.
More Than Rescue Stories
The upcoming season will once again capture every stage of a rescue dog’s journey—from frightened arrivals to life-changing new beginnings.
Viewers can also expect stories involving pregnant rescue dogs, difficult rehabilitation cases, emotional farewells, and the unforgettable moments when abandoned animals finally find loving families.
It’s these genuine moments that have helped the programme build such a devoted following.
Rather than focusing on celebrity, the series has consistently placed the spotlight where Pete believes it belongs—on the dogs and the people working tirelessly to save them.
Fans Can’t Wait
The announcement sparked an immediate wave of excitement online, with many calling it one of television’s most heartwarming shows.
One fan wrote:

“Bloody love this show and everything Dogs Trust does—and of course Pete’s love for all the dogs.”

Another commented:

“Can’t wait! Best person for this. His love for dogs just shines through the screen.”

A third simply asked the question on everyone’s mind:

“When can we watch it?”

Even Dogs Trust joined the celebrations, telling followers:

“We cannot wait for you all to see!”

When Does It Return?
The new season will consist of eight hour-long episodes, following Pete as he visits Dogs Trust centres across the UK and continues helping rescue dogs prepare for their forever homes.
The highly anticipated fourth series is expected to premiere in September 2026, with reports suggesting a launch toward the end of the month, although an official broadcast date has yet to be confirmed.
The two international specials are currently scheduled to air in early 2027.
With even more emotional stories, unforgettable rescues, and a brand-new global adventure, Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake looks set to deliver its biggest—and most moving—season yet. For dog lovers, it may be the most uplifting television event of the year.
