Channel 4’s The Dog House seeks loving homes in Lancaster

Channel 4’s BAFTA-nominated The Dog House is returning with a brand new series in the new year, and is keen to hear from local people considering adopting a dog and willing to share their reasons on the programme.

They are looking for first-time owners, families, individuals or anyone seeking companionship after a difficult time.

Since launching in 2019, The Dog House has captured the hearts of millions by following the emotional journeys of rescue dogs as they are matched with people looking to offer them a second chance.

Filmed at Woodgreen Pets Charity, the series shines a light on how life changing the bond between humans and dogs can be.

Across the UK, rescue centres are under enormous pressure. Last year, more than 47,000 people contacted Dogs Trust about giving up their dogs, and the RSPCA reports that the number of dogs in its care has doubled since 2020.

Lancashire's shelters are experiencing the same strain.

But despite the challenges, there is hope. Around 90% of dog owners say their pet improves their life, 86% report being physically healthier and 88% say it benefits their mental wellbeing. The series aims to celebrate these positive changes while helping dogs find loving homes.

The Dog House team is now seeking people in Lancaster who may be thinking about adopting a rescue dog – whether for companionship, support, wellbeing or simply the joy of bringing a four-legged friend into their life.

The production team is especially keen to hear from people with touching, heartfelt reasons for wanting to rehome.
