Channel 4’s The Dog House
The Dog House is set at the animal charity Wood Green in Cambridgeshire and follows prospective owners as they are matched with a rescue dog specially selected by an expert team of matchmakers.
“In the previous series we found there were many reasons for people wanting to rescue a dog,” says Codie. “For example, loneliness, extra company for a child, to encourage exercise or to live in the moment more!”

The story is told from the angle of both humans and dogs, as they prepare to meet each other for the first time.
The new series of The Dog House is currently airing on Channel 4 on Thursdays at 8pm.
