TV Guide: The Dog House season two on 10 and 10 Play On Demand

The saying goes that you should never work with children or animals, but in the case of Dog House Australia, some rules are best thrown out the window. Narrated by Dr. Chris Brown, the show follows the dedicated carers at the Animal Welfare League as they undertake a thorough match-making process between pooches and their potential new homes.

The Dog House Australia is returning to Channel 10 and 10 Play on Demand, for a second season and a second chance for hopeful pups and families to find love from Tuesday, 8 March, at 7:30 pm.

The second series will see the dedicated matchmakers at the Animal Welfare League NSW undertake a thorough match-making process between pooches and their potential new homes.

The Animal Welfare League is an organisation dedicated to providing expert care to surrendered, neglected, and abandoned companion animals across New South Wales. The charity has a ‘Getting to Zero’ philosophy, meaning they’re aiming to get to zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats and dogs.

Ahead of the season one premiere last year, Mediaweek spoke to 10 ViacomCBS’ head of factual Sarah Thornton ahead of the season one premiere about how the show came together and what makes it so genuine.

“There is an overused word in TV, which is authentic, but this is a genuinely authentic show,” she said. “We used this thing called a fixed rig, which is essentially dynamic fixed cameras that we place across the location that really mean the production crew had very little to do with the people involved in the filming. That leads to an incredibly genuine interaction and television that has a slightly different feel to the other observational documentaries that you see on TV, and that’s hopefully what will resonate with viewers.”

The Dog House Australia premiers Tuesday, 8 March at 7:30pm on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
