It is never easy to hear about an innocent animal in need. To imagine that someone could possibly abuse and abandon such loving creatures. Unfortunately it happens, and more often than we would like to imagine.

Luckily we have good-hearted samaritans like the staff of Wood Green, who do everything they can to find forever homes for rejected dogs. Set inside a rural British animal rescue center known for its commitment to matching homeless dogs with eager owners. The Dog House: UK, captures the joy and complexity of the human-dog “dating” experience.

Each episode introduces tearful tales of abandoned dogs, while also touching on relatable backstories of families, couples, and singletons all hoping their lives will be changed by a new four-legged friend.

The center’s staff is dedicated in matching pets with potential new owners, and arranging an all-important first date that will determine if the adorable pups and hopeful humans have that fated connection.

The entire eight-episode season drops Thursday, July 23 on HBO Max.
