Description of activity: Could you provide a loving home for a rescue dog? The Channel 4 series, The Dog House is looking for couples, individuals, friends and families who are seriously considering bringing a rescue dog into their lives and are willing to share their reasons for doing so.
Recruit criteria: People who would like to adopt a dog and are open to sharing their reason why. We are particularly looking to share how much a difference a dog can make to people’s mental health whilst living with a skin condition. We understand that with a skin condition come some serious anxieties. Studies have shown that even small interactions with dogs cause the human brain to produce oxytocin, a hormone often referred to as the “cuddle chemical.” Oxytocin increases feelings of relaxation, trust, and empathy while reducing stress and anxiety.
