  • Best friends Eliza, Lisa, Molly and Abby are passionate for all things furry, four-legged or feathered. They are THE ANIMAL RESCUE SQUAD. Their mission? To fight for the rights of all animals great and small. . . When Lisa decides to take care of a cheeky two-year-old chimp called Gumbo, she has no idea he'll be such a handful! He swings from the lampshades, climbs up the curtains, speaks in sign laguage. . . Yes! He really does! And it's up to THE ANIMAL RESCUE SQUAD to find him a very special home.
