Poor Tyson has had a rough life and was found as a stray, but that doesn’t stop him smiling and hoping for a loving home soon as he is not happy in kennels. He’s still active and loves playing with balls and toys and can live with older children.
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.
Ruby (Rain Rescue, South Yorkshire)
This lovely lady enjoys being with other dogs, especially males. She’s quite shy with new people and needs an adult only home. Gentle and unassuming by nature, she asks for very little out of life. A good garden and comfy sofa and she’ll be content.
Murphy (Romanian Rescue Appeal, Leeds)
Murphy enjoys an ear scratch and to rest his handsome head on your lap. He’s good with dogs but needs a quiet, adult-only home with a steady, consistent routine. He loves the outdoors, so will enjoy a big garden.
Butch (Good Life Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Smiley Butch is a gorgeous boy who found himself in stray kennels. He loves a custard cream and a cuddle. He also walks beautifully on the lead. Could you offer Butch a loving home with lots of snuggles on the sofa?

Mila (Halfway House, fostered N. Lincs)
Mila is a lovely, steady old girl who gets on with other dogs, confident cats and older children. She likes short walks and long lounges, either in a sunny spot in the garden or on the sofa with you! She’s easy going and a sheer delight to have around.
