Producers of the hit TV show The Dog House are looking for families in Oxfordshire who are interested in rehoming a dog and taking part in the next series.
The BAFTA nominated Channel 4 series, which works with Wood Green Pets Charity to find forever homes for abandoned pets, has been described as one of the most heart-warming programmes on TV.
A new series starts in January and the programme makers are now looking for people to take part.
Casting producer Hannah Walker said: "The show wants to highlight just what a rescue dog can bring to someone's life.
"The new series follows the rescue dogs but also the kind-hearted people willing to open their homes and their hearts to a new four-legged friend."
She added: "With the current cost of living crisis having a huge impact on rehoming centres, it’s more important than ever to highlight the plight of the rescue dog.
"The RSPCA is expecting a potential animal rescue crisis as more animals come into care and stay in rescue centres for longer, with fewer people coming forward to adopt.
"1.8 million dogs have been given up so far this year, but recent figures from the Pet Food Manufacturers Association show rehoming has dropped 8 per cent since last year.
"All in all, it's a pretty gloomy picture."
