Bouncy puppy Diezel had a lot to learn

The Dog House: Changing lives with the perfect match
We’re super proud to be the home of Channel 4’s The Dog House – showing audiences around the world how we bring pets and people together. In this much-loved series, viewers are taken on an emotional journey with our four-legged friends as we search for their perfect match.
It’s fair to say we’ve come a long way since 1924 when we were founded. From rescuing cats and dogs on the streets of London to helping thousands of pets every year from our centre in Cambridgeshire, we’ve grown in both size and ambition. And thanks to The Dog House, more and more people are becoming aware of Woodgreen.
While rehoming pets, as seen on The Dog House, continues to be a big part of our work, we help pets and people in many other ways – find out how below.
