The Dog House Australia is returning for a fourth season and yet another chance for hopeful pups and families to find love.
The hit series returns Wednesday, February 26, at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play, following the emotional journey of rescue dogs finding their forever homes.
Since its debut, the show has helped rehome 160 dogs, proving that a second chance can change lives – both canine and human.
In conjunction with the dedicated matchmakers at the Animal Welfare League NSW – the show follows a thorough match-making process between pooches and their potential new homes.
The AWL is an organisation dedicated to providing expert care to surrendered, neglected, and abandoned companion animals across NSW. The charity has a ‘Getting to Zero’ philosophy, meaning they’re aiming to get to zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats and dogs.
The sneak peek above shows just some of the four-legged friends featured meeting with their potential future families.
This season, there are 75 pups in the mix, so expect plenty of tail wags, teary moments, and the most heartwarming TV blind dates yet.

The first season, which aired October 2021, brought in high ratings for 10. The show was one of the top entertainment programs of the summer and consistently made it to the top 10 in the TV ratings.
Ahead of the launch of the first season, Mediaweek spoke to Paramount’s head of non-scripted Sarah Thornton, about how the show came together and what makes it so genuine.
When selecting the people to feature on the show, Thornton said they looked for two main things.
“Number one, they had to genuinely be looking for a dog! But number two, we were looking to represent a really diverse cross-section of Australia. The amazing thing about getting a dog is it crosses all barriers. It’s every socio-economic group, all ethnicities, urban, suburban, rural, there are people from all walks of life in Australia who were looking to adopt a dog.

“For us, it was incredibly important that we had genuine representation across the stories, and you’ll see that – the stories are incredibly diverse and unexpected. We also were looking for people with something going on in their life – it didn’t have to be a tragedy, it could also be something exciting or funny, or something surprising. But we were looking for people with a story to tell and a reason for looking for love from a four-legged friend.”
