Finding forever homes for rescue dogs isn't easy, but that's exactly what the staff of Country Retreat Animal Sanctuary do every day. Set inside a rural Kiwi animal rescue known for its tireless commitment to rescuing animals in trouble, The Dog House NZ captures the joy and complexity of the human-dog "dating" experience.

When We Go To War focuses on the impact the war has on a middle New Zealand, Pakeha family and a Maori brother and sister. This spectacular drama cuts between life at home, Gallipoli and Egypt. The series begins in a time of optimism and hope, on the eve of war. New Zealand has one of the highest living standards in the world, is part of the mighty British Empire and few can foresee the horrors soon to come. As the series - and the war - progress, the changing lives of those back home are contrasted with the experiences of New Zealand soldiers in the trenches and the lives of nurses in makeshift hospitals in Egypt. The war puts an enormous strain on existing relationships - while new ones develop.
