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.

Busy boy Patch! (Oldies Club, fostered Oxfordshire)

What a character Patch is! He’ll keep you amused and loved in equal measure. You will always have your best friend on hand in this sprightly, engaging chap. He wants to be an only pet to have your undivided affection and will always want walkies!

Vince (Private rehoming, Devon)

Vince needs to find a new home as his owner can no longer care for him. He can live with dogs and cats but needs an owner who is committed to keeping him healthy by giving him a specific food, and absolutely nothing else, plus his daily medication.

Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)

Tennis balls are Xena’s favourite thing! She’s a highly intelligent Collie-X lady who loves to show off her high IQ. Could you offer her a rural Cornish home – ideally a farm or smallholding?

Smith (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)

Smith is a smart and entertaining little chap who might be able to live with other dogs. He needs a single owner who has Jack Russell experience. You need to reside in Cornwall so that you can do lots of visits before adoption.

Buster (Stray Dogs Sanctuary, Devon)

The happy smile and jaunty ears belong to friendly Buster, a Labrador x Dobermann boy. What a great mixture! He’s good with dogs and people and he previously lived with another dog. Do you need Buster’s smile in your life?

Good boy, Boi! (Oldies Club, fostered Somerset)

This wonderful example of Lurchery loveliness is Boi. He’s a sweet and friendly chap who gets on well with dogs out and about and likes children. He’d love a home where nice walks are on offer and with a squidgy sofa to stretch out on.

Danny (Private Rehoming, Cornwall)

Affectionately known as Danny Bear for his love of hugs, Danny was rescued from a kill shelter and now hopes to find love and cuddles in a forever home. He’s would like to be the only pet for all the attention but is fine with dogs outside. Danny is a sweet, loving lad who will make a wonderful companion.

Tango – female (St. Giles Animal Centre, Somerset)

This beauty with the lovely smile and perky ears is Tango! She’d like an active home with someone around for most of the day and would like to be your only pet. Tango can live with nice sensible children. Isn’t she pretty!

Henry (Leash of Life, Wiltshire)

Henry has spent his whole life behind bars and is covered in scars from dog attacks. He’s looking for someone special to offer him a foster/permanent home where he can feel secure and learn how to enjoy life. Henry needs to be the only pet in an adult home. Can you help him?

Tia (National Animal Welfare Trust, Somerset)

People loving and sunny natured Tia just loves a good fuss and will return the affection tenfold. She likes to greet people and explore. Tia is fine with dogs outside but would like to be the only pet in a home where any children are older. She will make a super companion.
