Doghouse

In the heart of a quaint suburban neighborhood, “Doghouse” follows the life of Sam, a recently divorced animal shelter worker in his forties who finds solace and purpose in caring for abandoned dogs. Struggling with his newfound single life and the weight of past regrets, Sam’s world takes an unexpected turn when he inherits a dilapidated old house from his estranged father. Determined to make the best of a challenging situation, he decides to transform the crumbling edifice into a shelter for dogs, while simultaneously reclaiming his fractured relationship with his teenage daughter, Mia, who has taken refuge in her own troubles following the divorce.
