Award-winning rapper Daniel “Hush” Carlisle and his homegrown pack of friends and family are on a mission to clean up Detroit, one homeless hound at a time. Together with his tight-knit crew, Hush – who is the co-founder of Detroit Dog Rescue (DDR) – braves rough streets, dodgy buildings and gnashing teeth to rescue destitute mutts, many of which have been abandoned due to Detroit’s destitute economic situation.
The 60-minute specials brings to light the concerning number of stray dogs running loose on the streets of Detroit and the insufficient resources, funding, rescue workers, foster homes or people who are willing to adopt them. Detroit Unleashed: Motor City premieres Wednesday, January 21 at 11:00 p.m. (2300 hrs) on Astro channel 556. Encores Thursday, January 22 at 5:00 p.m. (1700 hrs).
Detroit Unleashed: Motor City documents Hush and his dedicated team’s unwavering determination to make a difference in the lives of as many of these four-legged friends as possible. Despite the many obstacles faced along the way, the team is devoted to locating a safe, loving home for every stray, including canines that other rescue groups consider too aggressive to be adopted.
