Myrtle has blossomed in her foster home after spending years in a Romanian shelter. She’s still a little nervous with new people and needs a quiet, adult home with an experienced owner and at least another dog. She also lives happily with a cat.
Category: Adopt An Oldie
Please also consider our Overlooked Oldies- the dogs who have been patiently waiting for new homes longest of all. They desperately need homes of their own! You can submit an oldie for listing by our site editors here .
We also have some non-oldie dogs who need very special homes due to mental or physical problems, listed in Other Special Dogs Needing Homes. Please consider them!
If you are planning to adopt a dog and already own cats, you may want to read our article Dogs and Cats.
Star (Leicester Animal Aid)

Max (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Max really loves his people! He also loves toys and food (a bit too much). He wants an adult-only home as an only pet. It takes him a while to trust new people but when he does, he’s the most loyal, loving and amusing boy you could wish to call yours.
Ingrid (Stray2Me, fostered Suffolk)
Despite having had a terrible life, sweet Ingrid just loves people and is a happy and friendly girl now enjoying the comforts of domestic life. She likes to play with the dogs and cats in her foster home and must be rehomed with another dog.

Duke (Starfish Dog Rescue, fostered Gloucestershire)
30/11/2021 **Reserved**

Rikki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Rikki is a large character in a small body. He is loyal and loving with those he trusts and will make you laugh every day. He wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home and he wants toys, good company and walkies galore. A Terrier lover’s dream dog!
Lukas (Safe Rescue, fostered East Midlands)
Lovely Lukas is flourishing in his foster home after 6 years in a Romanian shelter. He walks well on the lead but is still unsure about walks and gets on well with most other dogs. He must be rehomed with another compatible dog. It’s time for his forever home.

Bailey is a handsome Springer Spaniel who gets worried with new people and is looking for an adult, patient home to bring out his affectionate and playful side. He would benefit from having another canine companion to show him just how great life can be.

Sunny Skye is a gentle, loving, inquisitive and happy Beagle/Collie Cross. She currently lives with another dog in her foster home but, ideally, she would probably prefer a pet-free, adult household. She enjoys her walks, loves outings in the car and is altogether a rather chilled-out lady.
Lovely ladies Sheriff & Lacey (Oldies Club, fostered Beds.)
These cuties are sisters with a lot of love to give! They want a quiet home with no other pets. They could live with older children but they do like lots of rest. They don’t need walks but they do need a garden, for Lacey’s ball games and Sheriff’s snuffling!

25/10/21 – Bennie has proved very popular and applications are now closed!

Don (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This cuddly, chunky gentleman is looking for a home where someone is around a lot of the time. He only needs short, plodding walks. He wants to be the only dog at home but could live with cats. Visiting children or resident teenagers would be fine. Don is goofily and adorable!
Bella & Spot (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Spot and Bella are as sweet as they look and must have their quota of fuss every day. They want to be the only pets in an adult-only home (older teenagers are fine) and they want company most of the time. They love toys, treats, walkies and each other.
Oscar (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Winning over Oscar’s heart is like winning the jackpot! When he trusts you he dotes on you and is a cheerful, loving companion. He wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home. Most of all, he wants to feel safe and loved by that one special person.

Niko (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
With his sunny nature, Niko is a joy to be around at all times. He loves his walks, treats and any fuss that’s on offer. He wants to be the only pet and could live with dog savvy teenagers. He’s simply a happy, well behaved, snuggly boy!
Gary (Forest of Dean Dog Rescue, Gloucestershire)
Goofball Gary just loves people and other dogs. He’s looking for a large breed experienced home where any children are aged 10+ and used to boisterous, big dogs, but no cats please. He loves his walks and travels well in the car.
Danny (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Danny is a very affectionate boy with those he loves. He’s shy and nervous around strangers so he needs time to get to know you. He wants to be the only pet in an adult-only home and he wants to shower you with kisses and impress you with his zoomies!
Hope (Stray2Me, fostered Worcestershire)
Hope has blossomed into a truly lovely, goofy girl who laps up cuddles following a hard life on the streets of Romania. She’s living with other dogs and a cat but would enjoy being the only pet for all the attention. Hope has a zest for life and makes such a loving and loyal companion.
Jay (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton)
This adorable little boy is easy to love but has special requirements when it comes to his care. He needs a home with hard flooring as carpets set off his allergies. He wants to be an only pet, have lots of fuss, eye drops and skin cream daily…and nice knitwear!
Mollie (Wonky Pets Rescue, fostered South Derbyshire)
9/8/21 – Mollie is now reserved!
Mollie is the sweetest, most loving, dinky Shar Pei you could wish to meet but has been so unlucky finding her forever home. She is very people-friendly and absolutely loves to cuddle up for a snuggle, not forgetting enjoying her walks and travel. Could you give her that forever home?
Snow (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Wirral)
Snow is as lovely as she looks! She’s affectionate and walks beautifully on the lead. She doesn’t want to deal with cats or children in her home but she does want another nice dog or two. Could you give this gentle soul the relaxing retirement she deserves?
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
He might not look like a teddy but once you get to know Franky he’s all cuddles… and kisses! He loves to play and gets on well with most other dogs at the kennels. He wants an adult only home with no small furries. Could you foster or adopt him?
Axel & Lexi (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Have room for two? Gorgeous Axel and Lexi’s owner was too ill to keep them and they need a new home together as they are so close. They love to play together and are such lovely dogs.
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Suki is a lovely lady but typical of her breed she’s as stubborn as she is amusing and loyal. She wants an adult only home as an only pet, owners she can dote on and a sofa to look splendid on. Is that too much to ask?
