Lovely, soft-natured Scott is a timid boy who needs a human or two who will help him overcome his fears at his own pace. He can live with other dogs and cats. He’s had a tough time but he’s now ready to consider the possibility that life could be nice.
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.
Albu (Safe Rescue, fostered Surrey)
Albu is a lovely, kind hearted old boy who will make a wonderful pet, either for a family or fellow retirees. He’s good with children, confident cats and other dogs. He was shy and overweight but is improving on both counts. He just needs love… and comfort!
Nelson (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Nelson is a delightful dog. He enjoys his walks and loves a fuss! He spent years in a public shelter in Romania and now he’s ready for his happy retirement, taking his forever human out for lots of walks!
URGENT APPEAL: Could you help Pugsy?
Pugsy needs a long-term foster home, where he will be a sponsor dog. He is a loving, playful boy, but is possessive of items he purloins. He needs a child-free home as your only pet. You must be experienced and open to instruction on how to deal with his character traits.
Patrick & PJ (Pro Dogs Direct, fostered Hampshire)
Patrick and PJ need a quiet, carpeted home with patient owners. Due to disc disease they have mobility issues and some incontinence (mainly faecal), so you will need to be unfazed by this, and follow diet guidelines. A nice garden with few steps is vital.
Sweet, speckled Millie! (Oldies Club, fostered Hertfordshire)
6/10/20 – Millie is proving very popular and is now reserved.
Millie is a sweet and friendly girl who’s in great shape for her age. She’d like a quiet home as your only pet, but visiting children will be most welcome. Millie loves walks and having a play with her ball in the garden.
Little Miss Misty (Oldies Club, fostered Surrey)
Misty is a typically cute Jack Russell who is independent, fun and intelligent. She thoroughly enjoys her walks and is good on the lead. She loves playing with a squeaky toy, chasing a football around the garden (she’s a brilliant dribbler!) and snuggling up on the sofa when sleepy. Misty is wonderful company.
Archie (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, Essex)
This handsome man with the ears is Archie. He’s only seven and he’s a collie, so virtually a pup! He needs a child-free, cat-free home as either your only dog or with placid female dogs. You must have collie experience, love walks and have an understanding attitude.
Acer & Missy (Foal Farm, Kent)
The only thing better than adopting an oldie is adopting two oldies! Acer and Missy are the best of friends and need to stay together. Acer follows Missy around and looks up to her. Bless! They’d like to be your only pets but can live with children aged 12+
Bella (Mayhew Animal Home, NW London)
Beautiful Bella needs experienced owners who are at home all day, as she doesn’t like to be on her own. She is a sensitive soul who takes a while to bond, but then is very loyal. Could you offer her an adult home as your only pet?
Geordie (Animal Adoption International, fostered North London)
Geordie has such a lovely nature and is looking for a home with another dog. He deserves a quiet life and would prefer not to live with young children or cats. George will make someone a smashing companion.
Bradley (Rovers Dog Rescue, fostered Essex)
Beautiful Bradley is a clever, agile boy who can easily manage an hour’s walk. He’s fine with the dogs at his foster home and would like a home with someone around most of the time. He’d prefer a lady owner as he is wary of men. Gorgeous!
Mike (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Bright as a button Mike will do anything for a treat! He wants to be a companion dog to someone who’s at home a lot of the time and to be the only pet in an adult only home. He likes snuffly walks, games of fetch and chest scratchies.
Markos (Animal Adoption International, fostered Yorkshire)
Markos is a very handsome Pointer Cross rescued from a Greek shelter. He adores people and cuddles and would be a lovely companion in a pet-free home with people around a lot. He likes his exercise and walks well on the lead.
Ellie (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Dinky little Ellie is as sweet as she looks. She takes a while to get to know people and wants a quiet, adult only home as an only pet and not many visitors to fret about. She loves to keep busy with toys and walkies. She’s an adorable, cheerful companion!
Branny (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
2/8/20 – Branny has been reserved!
Funny-eared, waggy-tailed Branny is a playful and loving boy who just wants a quiet, adult-only home and a happy life of walkies and sofa snuggles. He likes a game of fetch and loves learning new things for treats. With those expressive ears, he’s probably the world’s best listener!
Charlie (Poodles In Need, Oxford)
Charlie is a friendly, sunny-hearted chap who is good with other dogs and older children. He’s well behaved and bright as a button, as you’d expect from a Poodle. He still has lots of energy for walks and is adorable!
