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.
Kimmy (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
Little Kimmy has a deformed front paw, but it doesn’t stop her getting about and enjoying life. She’s a sweet and adorable girl who is a real favourite with staff and volunteers at West Hatch. Could you offer Kimmy a quiet home and lots of love?
Raff the Wobbly Wanderer! (Oldies Club, fostered Wiltshire)
Raff is a sweet old Springer who is happy to be around gentle dogs, cats and children. Ataxia gives him a wobble in his step, but it doesn’t stop him enjoying short strolls and having a good sniff. Could you offer Raff a caring home where he won’t be left on his own too much?
Lucky (The Fairy Dog Fosterers, fostered Southampton)
Lucky is a stunning Austrian Black and Tan Hound/Setter mix and hoping his name will prove correct in finding a foster/permanent home urgently. He can live with dogs and older children and loves his walks and his bed. A retired or active family home would equally suit this very handsome lad.
Dennis (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
21/6/18 – Dennis is reserved
Dear Dennis is a young at heart Jack Russell who would make a lovely companion. He has a good temperament with people and can live with teenage children. He would prefer to be the only pet to get all that lovely fuss and attention he adores.
Buck (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
Buck is a smashing Jack Russell boy who has a lovely temperament and would make a great companion. He loves fuss and attention and knows his basic commands. Buck would like an experienced home and where any children are older. He could possibly live with a calm female dog but no cats please.
Bruce (Stray Dogs Sanctuary, Devon)
Poor Bruce the Saluki Cross is very sad and upset to find himself in kennels after being with his family since he was a puppy. He’s a loving lad who just longs to be cuddled. Could you make Bruce happy again?
Happy chatty Zoe! (Oldies Club, fostered Dorset)
01/06/18 – No more applications please. Zoe is a very popular lady and has several lovely humans to choose from already!
Zoe is always cheerful! She enjoys just about everything and is simply fun to have around. She likes meeting other dogs and really loves playing with her ball! Great with other animals and children, Zoe is a very well rounded individual ;)
Josey (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Dorset)
31/05/18 – Josey has been reserved! Good luck little lady!
Josey is a very special lady. She’s friendly to all, she can live with other dogs AND cats and she’s very bright and loving. That’s not the special bit though. It’s this… her eyes are part brown and part blue! This rare and wonderful girl could be your new best friend!
Coquettish Cassie ballerina! (Oldies Club, fostered Wiltshire)
Cassie is a gentle and sweet Greyhound lady who despite her age, still does a joyful half-pirouette when she’s happy. She only wants short walks and you can rely on her to be ever so well-behaved! Good with other dogs AND cats, she’s a lovely restful presence to grace your hearth.
Rico (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Adorable Akita Rico is very loyal and his favourite thing is spending time with his lovely humans. His perfect home would be adult only and pet-free so he can have all your love to himself. A garden to potter around and the occasional short walk would be an added bonus.
Super-lassy Sassy! (Oldies Club, fostered Dorset)
Sassy is a cheeky lassy who was handed in to the pound at the age of 16. She loves steady walks and a good sniff around the garden. Could you offer Sassy a home and companionship and be happy for her to sleep in your bedroom?
Bruno (Senior Staffy Club, kennelled Worcestershire)
Bruno’s a happy chap who can be a little enthusiastic but is well-behaved in kennels and on walks. He can live with older children 16+ and may be fine with a calm female dog, but no cats please. Bruno likes to travel in the car and sing along.
Cassie (German Shepherd Dog Rescue, Gloucestershire)
Sweet Cassie is looking for a retirement home where the most exciting thing that happens is going for a lovely walk or playing with her ball in the garden. She wants to be an only pet in a quiet, adult only home where people speak gently… about how lovely she is! 20/6/18 – Cassie is still waiting!
Beth (NAWT, Cornwall)
Do you have a quiet smallholding that needs a quirky, independent collie? If so, let us tell you all about Beth…
10/6/18 – Beth still needs a smallholding!
Bonnie (Bath Cats and Dogs Home)
Bulldog Bonnie is a little shy but likes a fuss and a back scratch when she knows you. BonBon, as she’s affectionately known, is clever and knows lots of commands. She would like to be the only pet in a quiet home where any children are older. BonBon doesn’t need much exercise and will be a wonderful companion. 10/6/18 – Bonnie is still waiting!
Nero (Bath Cats and Dogs Home)
Nero is a big, playful and affectionate boy who would love to have a male owner who will take him for walks and play tug with him. He is an independent lad, but he does like knowing you are around, so if you could stay with him most of the day, he would love it! Could Nero be your new best friend? 10/6/18 – Nero is still waiting!
