There are moments that quietly change the course of a life. Sometimes they arrive on four legs. Life, Rescued was created to honor the people who open their homes, their time, and their hearts to animals in need. Through these stories, we hope to capture the depth of that connection and the everyday acts of compassion that shape a life, rescued.
Premiering May 20 on National Rescue Dog Day, Episode 3 features filmmaker and creative director Adriaan Kirchner and his dog Maya.
Filmed in February 2026, just two months before Maya’s passing, the episode reflects on a relationship that spanned nearly every chapter of Adriaan’s adult life. What began as an unexpected rescue evolved into a bond that carried them through his twenties and thirties while building a life together in Los Angeles.
Through memories of growing up together, navigating adulthood, and eventually caring for Maya through her senior years, the episode explores how rescue dogs quietly shape the people we become. At its core, Episode 3 is a tribute to lifelong companionship, growing older together, and the enduring impact of a soul dog.

Set just outside of Jackson Hole in Wilson, Wyoming, the first episode of Life, Rescued follows Grace Peck, an artist and designer whose life is deeply rooted in animal rescue. At home, she and her family care for a rotating mix of foster animals alongside their own, creating space for dogs and cats in need of a second chance. Beyond her home, Grace extends her impact through her Shelter Visibility Project, using photography to help overlooked shelter dogs be seen and adopted.
Through quiet, everyday moments, the film reveals how rescue becomes more than an act, it becomes a way of living. It is a portrait of compassion in practice, and of a life shaped by the decision to continually show up for animals in need.
