A brand new HBO Max television series, The Dog House: UK, follows the lives of previously-rejected dogs and the loving forever families that eventually end up adopting them, many of whom also have endured challenging circumstances.
The unscripted eight-part documentary takes place at Wood Green, a Cambridgeshire animal rescue that specializes in matching abandoned dogs looking for forever homes with the perfect guardian(s). Staff at Wood Green go out of their way to ensure that these dogs and potential caretakers have the perfect ‘first date,’ in hopes of a ‘happily-ever-after’ moment for everyone involved.
Wood Green takes in hundreds of abandoned and unwanted dogs every year, where its 60-person team of ‘matchmakers’ works diligently to arrange the perfect human-canine pairs.
“Our aim is to find the best possible homes for the dogs,” staff members say during the trailer. “We want to help everyone who walks through the door.”
The Dog House: U.K. captures some of the pups’ most heartbreaking and heartwarming journeys, starting from the moment they arrive at the shelter all the way until they enter their new forever homes.
The new series, which already debuted in the U.K., has garnered over 1 million viewers per episode and premiers on July 23 in the United States on HBO Max.

Love this show. People love animals more than humans. The dogs and cats dont talk back. Manly thats why i Love animals. Good watch and a Great Life Lesson.
NO ANIMAL DESERVE TO BE MISTREATED. NEVER. They too feel the happiness as well as the pains and sorrow. as same as you and me. If you love your life so does these animals too.
My heart is so sad when I see dogs, cats, other animals suffer….I will never understand the cruelty of “men”
When a beautiful story come along, I am so happy and could watch the happiness of those adopted dogs or saved dogs.
It is one of the miracle of life, good people doing the impossible for all little creatures on this earth.
So inspiring and very heart-warming.
I hope this comes to Australia.
