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.
Peggy Pickles (Wonky Pets Rescue, fostered Shropshire)
8/8/22 – Now reserved!
Peggy Pickles needs a terrier-experienced, adult-only home who will be hands-off with her until she trusts you. She loves long walks so needs active owners. PP needs to be your only dog but is OK with them when out.
Gem (Forest of Dean Dog Rescue, Gloucestershire)
Gem is a beautiful Collie who loves her people, walks well on a lead and is good in the car. She also enjoys playing ball. She could possibly be rehomed with a male dog around her size but no cats please, and any children in the home should be aged 14+.
Lola & Sonnie (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Glos.)
These two cuties are in need of a special home because Lola is blind. She gets by very well with the help of her best friend though! They want human company most of the time, a garden, no other pets and no youngsters under 16. Could you help them?
Patchy (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Patchy is a little poppet who wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home, getting all the love available. She needs a peaceful retirement with comfy beds for her favourite pastime… snoozing!
Bruno (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Poor Bruno was severely underweight when he arrived in rescue but he’s doing well now. He’s a real softy who loves fuss and attention. Could you offer Bruno a nice quiet home where he’ll be your only pet? He deserves lots of love and TLC.
Harvey (Safe Rescue, fostered Staffordshire)
**Reserved**
Harvey is a lovely, friendly Whippet who is looking for a retirement home as his owner sadly passed away. He’s such a good boy who gets on with people, dogs and cats. Some pampering and a nice garden to potter around would be perfect.
Ella (Leicester Animal Aid)
Ella is a lovely, easy-going Labrador lady who loves to play and go on walks. She would enjoy living in a teenage home as the only pet but is happy meeting dogs out and about. She’s a real sweetie.
Blacky (Bid To Save A Stray, fostered Worcs.)
Dear old Blacky wants a peaceful retirement. He can live with other dogs or would be happy as an only pet. He much prefers women as he’s very shy with men. He doesn’t need walks but does need a large garden. He’s a soppy boy. Could you love him?
Ralph (Leicester Animal Aid)
Ralph is a very handsome and chatty Husky boy who likes to be kept busy and go on lovely walks followed by chilling on the sofa. He needs a home as the only pet with a secure garden and older teenagers. Ralph is sociable with other dogs but will not share his toys and food.
Rio (Leicester Animal Aid)
Lovely Lurcher Rio is a typical sofa monster who loves lots of cuddles. He could live with a similar size dog but no other small animals as he has a high prey drive. Children over 10 years are welcome to run around with, then it’s sofa time.
Missy (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Missy is a sweet girl who is fine with relaxed dogs and could live with a calm male dog of a similar age. She might need further training so you’ll need to be happy to help Missy settle in her own time. She could live with teenagers but not cats.
Jake (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Sweet Jake arrived in rescue via an RSPCA inspector. He’s a lovely lad who is great with children but needs a home as your only pet. Do you have dog experience and the love and patience to allow Jake to settle and give him any training he might need?
Poodley Pearl – punctuality required! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincs.)
Pearl is an older lady needing a quiet home with people around most of the time. She likes calm dogs and has lived with cats. You’ll need to be unfazed about cleaning up any accidents, and mealtimes will need to adhere to Pearl’s schedule!
Hughie (Senior Staffy Club, kennelled Stoke-on-Trent)
Hughie is a super friendly boy who loves cuddles and tummy rubs! He’s very bright and obsessed with food so it’s easy to teach him new tricks. He wants to be an only pet in an adult (maybe with teenagers) home with a good garden and he wants lots of walkies!
Kira (Forgotten Souls Rescue, fostered Coventry)
Sadly, Kira was found as a stray after being run over by a tractor. She’s looking for a quiet home but is still sprightly and likes her walks and play. Kira is used to living with other dogs and cats, but can also be the only pet in an adult home. It’s time she found her forever home.
Tor (The Canine Lifeline UK, fostered Norfolk)
Gorgeous Tor is a big, steady boy who doesn’t need much exercise and does need a quiet life. He wants an adult-only home but can happily live with cats and one or more other large dogs. He’s good on the lead and good in the house and altogether wonderful!
Kaizer (On the Way Home Dog Rescue, Northampton)
Kaizer is very much in tune with his people and is so gentle around children and the elderly. He might push his luck unless there’s a confident head of household though! He’s scared of dogs so needs further socialisation and training.
Charlie (On the Way Home Dog Rescue, Derby)
Charlie is a lovely lad who enjoys being around people and other dogs. He loves walks and adventures and still has plenty of energy. Could you offer this fun boy a fab home?
Barney (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Barney has a lot of love to give to the right person. He needs an owner with experience of nervous dogs as he’s a bit of a worrier. He’s lost weight with the stress of kennels so a permanent or foster home where he can relax is now urgent.
Kiki (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)
Kiki is a sweet and cheerful Crossbreed despite a hard life on a puppy farm. She needs a loving home with another dog for company, enjoys short walks and is enjoying life in a foster home.
Stan (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)
**Reserved**
Once shy Stan trusts you, he will wag his little stumpy tail and he is a sweet and friendly boy. He’s good on the lead and enjoys his walks. He could live with a calm, female dog and promises to be a wonderful member of your family.
Tyson (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Tyson is a sweet, soppy and loving Staffy boy who would love to be in his own home again. He’s looking for experienced owners, a couple of nice walks a day and lots of affection. Tyson needs to be the only pet and can live with teenage children.
Harley (Jerry Green, South Lincolnshire)
Sweet Harley is looking for a quiet home in a quiet area. His ideal would be a female-only household as he finds men a bit scary. Could you offer him a home as your only pet, with a nice secure garden to enjoy?
Tess (Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, fostered Lancashire)
Tess is a lovely little lady. She’s affectionate, doting and ever so good! She gets on with other dogs outside but wants to be an only pet at home. She could live with older children and wants company most of the time. She’s a steady, loving cutie pie!
Flossy (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)
Flossy is a pretty Collie type Cross and is a quiet, sweet little girl who now enjoys her walks and likes a fuss. She’s looking for a quiet household with no children under 10 and needs the company of a similar natured dog for confidence.
Petros (Hungary Hearts Dog Rescue, fostered Bucks)
Saved from a Hungarian kill shelter, Petros is a sweet and cuddly Pomeranian mix who loves all the attention and TLC he can get. He gets on well with other dogs and is looking for a kind and loving forever home … just what he deserves.
Drifter (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)
Drifter was rescued from years of a hard life in a Romanian shelter and can be a bit cantankerous though mostly, he is a cheerful soul who even enjoys a fuss and a bum scratch. He can live with dogs and older children but has not been cat-tested. Can you give Drifter the loving home he now deserves?
Riza (Bid To Save A Stray, fostered Worcestershire)
Venerable on the outside, playful of the inside, Riza is a big character who loves affection. She likes her toys, long walks in the countryside and she can take any amount of fuss! She wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home and she wants love!
Tessa (Animal Adoption International, fostered Stratford-upon-Avon)
Sweet, playful Tessa needs a home with another fun-loving dog. She adores walks and is very active so you will need to be able to go for good walks to keep her happy. She’s not been tested with cats or children, so a home without them please.
Bella (Leicester Animal Aid)
Sweet Bella is a cute Jack Russell/Papillon Cross who knows what she likes. She’s sprightly and loves being out and about and can’t get enough of squeaky toys. Bella would like an experienced, adult-only home as the only pet for all that fuss and attention.
Prinny (Jerry Green, South Lincolnshire)
Prinny is a sweet Spaniel Cross who is frightened of the world. She needs an adult home in a quiet area. If you’re child- and pet-free and don’t have visiting dogs or children, you could be the person she’s waiting to meet (a few times before going home).
Bruno (Stray2Me, fostered Oxfordshire)
Bruno is such an affectionate and cuddly Staffie who’s very well-behaved and enjoys his walks. He can live with older children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. What a lovely boy!
Axel & Lexi (Friends of Akitas, Bedfordshire)
Akitas are always special, a mix of nobility and soppiness but discerning about who they’re soppy with. These two are the best of the breed, keeping each other relaxed and entertained while still wanting human cuddles. They want to be only pets and to enhance your life with their beauty!
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!
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.
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?
