Sadly, Colten has spent most of his life in a Romanian shelter, but he’s now progressing well in his foster home and looking for patience and treats to help him blossom completely. He loves food and walks and gets along with cats as long as they don’t bother him.
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.
Beagle-tastic Max! (Oldies Club, fostered Cheshire)
URGENT: Max’s foster carers are going away in July and he wouldn’t cope well in kennels!
Max is friendly, affectionate and playful. He’s happy to sleep between walkies as long as he knows you’re nearby. He’s good with other dogs he knows but wants to be the only pet at home. Older children are fine and he wants a fairly active lifestyle with plenty of fuss!
Good as gold Jet & Sasha! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
JET & SASHA ARE OUR OLD DOGS OF THE WEEK!
This beautiful pair are a delight to have around. They could live with other dogs and older children but not cats. They love to play, have a quick sprint around the garden or a secure field and they love a cuddle. They’re easy-going and adorable! Please help Jet & Sasha by sharing their page!
Beth (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Beth is a shy little girl but, once she knows you, she loves a fuss. She like to play with other dogs and would enjoy living in a multi-dog household or as an only pet if she could meet with other dogs. Any children at home should be aged 12+. Beth has not been cat-tested.
Brant (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Brant is a sweet and shy boy who has taken a long time to trust humans but is now ready for a quiet retirement home with at least one other dog. He’s quiet and clean in the home and now truly deserves to enjoy a forever, loving home.
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?
Ronnie (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincolnshire)
Ronnie loves to sunbathe in the garden and snuggle up on the sofa with you for a bit of TV watching. He needs someone home most of the time as he isn’t used to being left. Walks in nice quiet areas where he won’t meet lots of dogs are also his dream.
Ursal (Bid to Save a Stray, fostered Worcestershire)
Ursal is a huge bear of a dog who will literally fill your home with love. He would be best as your only pet. Ursal is a beautiful, confident boy who can be stubborn at times, but with that face he knows he can get away with it.
Lily (Wonky Pets Rescue, fostered Derbyshire)
Little Lily is a Terrier/Chihuahua Cross who just adores being with men … sorry, ladies won’t get the same fuss! She fit, active and walks well on the lead. She’s okay with other dogs outside but wants to be the only one in the home, though could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat.
Jim (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Jim is a rather scruffily handsome boy who was rescued from Romania. He’s such a lovely, friendly chap who gets on well with other dogs or could be the only one in the home. He’s looking for an adult-only home where he can chill and nap to his heart’s content.
George (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincs.)
Adorable George is very happy now that he’s fit and well. He loves people, toys and snoozing in the sunshine. He wants to be an only pet in an adult only home and he wants cuddles!
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.
Niko (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Niko is a handsome boy who loves to play chase in the garden with his humans. He’s a very good traveller. Walks are so exciting that he gets a bit giddy and woofs his excitement, just so that you know that walks really are the best thing ever!
Merlin (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Teddy Bear Merlin is on the small side for an Akita, which makes him the perfect compact package. He could live with a compatible female dog and is a gentle, sweet boy who loves his walks.
Butch (1 Dog At A Time, Northants)
Butch likes walks in the countryside, snoozing in the sunshine and getting fusses. He likes being stroked so much that he mumbles about how much he’s enjoying it! He’s good around lady dogs but is wary of most males. Could Butch be your new, outdoorsy best friend?
Alfie & Rocky (Ark Animal Rescue, Lincolnshire coast)
Alfie & Rocky are the best of friends and need a home together. Before you rush to contact the Ark, ask yourself if you could happily and kindly deal with toileting accidents as little Rocky has a health issue leading to poor bladder control, and Alfie also has accidents. They are wonderful, friendly 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?
Thor (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
If you want a doting companion who’s easy on the eye and doesn’t need long walks, than look no further. Thor needs a relaxing retirement without having to deal with other pets, children or much in the way of comings and goings. He’s a home-body and a soppy-head!
Danny (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Gorgeous boy Danny is a Lurcher cross who loves cuddles once he’s got to know you. He’s quite shy and sensitive so he needs understanding, experienced owners. He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home. He’ll be an adorably soppy best friend!
Nikita (Carla Lane Animals In Need, Liverpool)
Nikita loves chicken, toys and a fuss (but only when she says so!). She’s good with other dogs on walks but won’t share her home (i.e. toys) with other pets or children. She’s a lady who knows her own mind and needs an experienced owner with a sense of humour.
