Luke is a lovely German Shepherd who is stressed and losing weight in kennels. He doesn’t need a lot of exercise and just loves cuddles. Luke needs a peaceful retirement home as the only pet and where any children are older. He just needs a chance.

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.
Nellie (Pennine Animal Welfare Society, West Yorkshire)
She’s a big lass, she’s a bonnie lass and she’s all about love! Nellie is slimming down but her cuddles will always be solid and reassuring. She needs to be an only pet and have access to a field for frolicking. She’s playful, loyal and has a big, open heart!
Percy (Animal Adoption International, fostered Yorkshire)
Labrador Cross, Percy, is a dream of a dog who is so friendly and cuddly. He’s great with people and other dogs. He urgently needs a new foster/permanent home as he doesn’t get on with the cats there. Percy would make a wonderful companion.
Calvin (Animal Adoption International, fostered Yorkshire)
Cute Calvin can’t understand why no-one wants him – he’s lovely, quiet, gentle and great with people and other dogs. He’s also clean in the house and good on-lead … quite the perfect gent. Can you offer him your sofa?
Poppy (New Moon Dog Rescue, fostered West Yorkshire)
Poppy was rescued from Romania but sadly her two pups didn’t make it. She is great with other dogs and needs an adult-only home with company.
Jack (Poodles In Need, Lincolnshire)
Dinky, fluffy Jack is a delightful boy who wants to be the only pet at home, to be the apple of your eye. He can live with older children and loves walkies. A home where someone is around most of the time would suit this little poppet perfectly!
Leaha and Charlie (Good Life Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Abandoned in a forest the week before Christmas, Leaha and Charlie are devoted friends who have relied upon each other through very tough times and must stay together. Could you offer these gorgeous dogs a quiet home together?
Jax (Good Life Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
21/02/20 – Jax is reserved!
Jax’s elderly owner died. Jax waited in kennels. He found a home, but working hours changed and he was extremely stressed alone. Back in kennels, Jax needs a home with company all day and minimal car travel. A big ask, but big Jax is worth it.
Rex (RSPCA Macclesfield, kennelled Derbyshire)
Rex wasn’t looked after properly in his previous home and he needs a loving, caring home to retire to. Could you offer Rex a happy future?
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Franky has so much love to give that everyone who knows him finds it incredible he’s been waiting in kennels for ages. He’s super affectionate, obedient and good with other dogs his size. He’s available to adopt or foster, as he desperately needs a home! 22/2/20 – Franky is still waiting
Milo (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Milo is a very handsome boy who is looking for a quiet, adult home with Akita-experienced owners. He is very loving and he forms a strong bond with his people. Milo walks beautifully on the lead and will do anything for treats! 22/2/20 – Milo still needs a home
