The Dog House

It's great to see the dogs and the amazing staff, but so sad the other two Wood Green sites are to close and the support for cats and small animals to suffer. Although the volunteer and community led campaign may change that.

As a dog owner I stumbled across this series and really like it. It shows a dog rescue charity matching dogs with potential owners. What really brings it to life is the wide variety of back stories of the owners, who are often surprising and easy to emphasise with, and the dogs (ditto) while there is a segment at the end which shows how things turned at the home environment some time later .

The rescue centre itself is immaculately kept and very well staffed - probably a cut above the average compared to some more amateur but well meaning sites.

The process is a bit formulaic, eg CCTV commentaries by a group of staff watching the dog meet its potential owners in a controlled environment, and the choice of dogs offered can seem a bit random and limited.

Nevertheless it is a very heartwarming show and also teaches a lot about the advantages/disadvantages/pitfalls of dog ownership. Good camerawork and well editted. Great viewing for all the family, except our dogs who will bark at anything four legged on the telly....

Love dogs; love this show. Sometimes hard to keep dry eyes, but they are often 'happy' tears.

This show would actually be perfect were it not for the annoying individual at the front desk!!

This is a very sweet and light series by Channel 4. Much better and more entertaining than I expected. It explores the various interesting and sometimes problematic personalities of the potential owners and reasons why they choose a rescue dog. The little stories of each super cute rescue dog, are also very sweet, a bit sad but heartwarming.

Me and my girls just love this show.

We all just love dogs and our youngest is leaning English in the nicest of ways - It's just the lovely family time in the couch, watching this.
