The new show will be a Network 10 production made internally.
Earlier in 2020, Network 10 broadcast the heart-warming stories of rescue dogs living happily furever after with their new families in the popular UK series, The Dog House.
In news that has pricked up the ears of dogs all over Australia, Network 10 has announced a local version of this pawsome documentary series will be coming to screens in 2021.
The Show will take viewers on an emotional journey where vulnerable dogs go from abandoned… to adopted… to adored.
Each week viewers follow the dedicated carers at The Dog House as they undertake a thorough match-making process between pawtential pooches and Aussie families, couples and individuals looking for a new four-legged friend.
Network 10 head of programming Daniel Monaghan said: “We really are thrilled to be making our very own production of The Dog House. There is nothing more wonderful than watching a team of devoted matchmakers pairing homeless dogs with hopeful companions.
“The Dog House Australia is destined to be the most joyous and feel-good series of 2021.”
The show was announced at the Network 10 Upfronts 2021 along with new franchise Making It Australia.
Beverley McGarvey, chief content officer and executive vice president of ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand said: “In 2021, our biggest franchises are returning along with premiere series Making It Australia, The Dog House Australia and The First Inventors. We promise a strong, consistent line-up of premium content for all audiences, across all channels and platforms.”
