PBS is rolling out it's sixth installment of their, docu-series, "Shelter Me" this month. Perfect timing for, May's National Pet Month. The series, was created by filmmaker, Steven Latham, who based the idea for show on his own desire to spread positive awareness of rescue animals, shelters and the people that work tirelessly to support them.

Celebrity animal lover and advocate, Kristen Bell, hosts the latest episode entitled,  "Shelter Me: Hearts & Paws": The hour long, emotionally charged episode, like the previous "Shelter Me"  installments, will feature different stories, including one centered around award-winning artist and “Mutts” creator Patrick McDonnell and the inspiration behind his “Shelter Stories” series.
