Rocky and Ruby are a cuddly, amusing duo who play tug with a toy between them. They can live with children of any age and need only short, quiet walks, or just playtime at home if you have a nice big garden.

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.
Jorah (German Shepherd Dog Rescue, kennelled Wiltshire)
Jorah arrived in rescue very underweight and she is constantly thinking about food. She needs people who will help her learn that the next meal will always be there and that she can have fun and enjoy life again. Jorah will make a beautiful friend.
Delilah (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Hampshire)
Delightful Delilah enjoys taking things easy being a more mature lady, but she’s enjoying life and would suit a home with other dogs or on her own. She also gets on with cats, sweetheart that she is. Her tail is always wagging ready to meet her new owner.
Rex (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Hampshire)
Rex is proving to be the perfect guest in his foster home: he’s laid-back, walks well on the lead, shares his toys with the other dogs and knows some commands. He just needs help in building his confidence up in his forever home.
Missy (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
Sweet little Missy was sadly mistreated in her previous home and she thoroughly deserves a happy future. She’d like to be your only pet and have someone at home with her most of the time. Missy will be such a loving companion.
Casper (German Shepherd Dog Rescue, Worcester)
Casper is a stunningly beautiful boy but can be nervous and protective of his owner. If you have lots of GSD experience, a calm and confident manner, and a quiet home with few visitors, please consider Casper. He has so much love to give.
Timmy & Tipsy (Dogsfriends, fostered Somerset)
Timmy and Tipsy love each other very much and want a retirement home together. They also love zipping about outside, having a fuss from any friendly people they meet and they’re good with other dogs. What an adorable couple!
Harry (Stray Dogs Sanctuary, Devon)
Lovely Lurcher lad, Harry, would love to have a cosy home with a family with children aged 8+. He can live with other medium/large dogs, but not small ones or cats. He likes his walks, but just loves lots of cuddles and snuggling up to his people; his tail never stops wagging.
Leela (Bath Cats & Dogs Home)
Lovely Leela is ready and waiting to give you staffy love and cuddles! She greets everyone with a waggy tail and a big cheerful smile. Could you make Leela truly happy and offer her a home where someone will be with her most of the time?
Smiley girl Sassy! (Oldies Club, fostered Dorset)
You can see what a sunny nature Sassy has in her pretty face. She’s easy to live with, just needing a settled retirement home as an only pet and a garden with interesting smells. Short walks, good company and treats make Sassy a very happy lady!
Bonnie (Bath Cats and Dogs Home)
Bonnie is a shy girl who loves a fuss once she knows you, and is clever, obedient and playful. She needs a quiet home, with a single owner, where she is your only pet. Bonnie is not too bothered about walks, especially in summer, so would like a nice garden and simply to be your very best friend. Could you help Bonnie? 26/12/18 – Still needs a home
Rico (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Adorable Akita Rico is very loyal and his favourite thing is spending time with his 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 perfect. 3/1/19 – Rico still needs a home!
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? 17/11/18 – Nero is still waiting!
