Sadly, Colten has spent most of his life in a Romanian shelter, but he’s now progressing well in his foster home and looking for patience and treats to help him blossom completely. He loves food and walks and gets along with cats as long as they don’t bother him.
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.
Beagle-tastic Max! (Oldies Club, fostered Cheshire)
URGENT: Max’s foster carers are going away in July and he wouldn’t cope well in kennels!
Max is friendly, affectionate and playful. He’s happy to sleep between walkies as long as he knows you’re nearby. He’s good with other dogs he knows but wants to be the only pet at home. Older children are fine and he wants a fairly active lifestyle with plenty of fuss!
Good as gold Jet & Sasha! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
JET & SASHA ARE OUR OLD DOGS OF THE WEEK!
This beautiful pair are a delight to have around. They could live with other dogs and older children but not cats. They love to play, have a quick sprint around the garden or a secure field and they love a cuddle. They’re easy-going and adorable! Please help Jet & Sasha by sharing their page!
Ellie (All Animals Rescue & Rehome, Essex)
Wonderful Ellie loves cuddles and snoozing on the sofa. Other favourites are food, walks, playtime and swimming! She will be a loyal and devoted friend and would prefer to be your only dog. She could live with kids who have experience of living with GSDs.

Beth (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Beth is a shy little girl but, once she knows you, she loves a fuss. She like to play with other dogs and would enjoy living in a multi-dog household or as an only pet if she could meet with other dogs. Any children at home should be aged 12+. Beth has not been cat-tested.
Brant (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Brant is a sweet and shy boy who has taken a long time to trust humans but is now ready for a quiet retirement home with at least one other dog. He’s quiet and clean in the home and now truly deserves to enjoy a forever, loving home.
Don (via Freshfields Animal Rescue, at home in Liverpool)
Don is a big friendly boy who loves to have company and attention. He’d like an owner who is used to large dogs. Don would be best as your only dog but could live with children aged 12+ and has potential to live with a cat.
Ronnie (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincolnshire)
Ronnie loves to sunbathe in the garden and snuggle up on the sofa with you for a bit of TV watching. He needs someone home most of the time as he isn’t used to being left. Walks in nice quiet areas where he won’t meet lots of dogs are also his dream.
Corky (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered East London)
Corky is a lovely lad who is playful, affectionate and full of character. He’s looking for an adult-only, forever home and is fully house-trained. Corky can live with dogs, but not cats or other small animals. He loves company and chasing his squeeky pheasant!
Beau the belle! (Oldies Club, fostered Surrey)
25/5/21 – We have been flooded with applications for Beau and aren’t able to accept any more, sorry! Applications are now closed.
Ball-hoarding Coco (Oldies Club, fostered East Sussex)
This beautiful lady is very definite about certain things. If you throw a ball for her to chase, she will keep it and expect you to then throw another. She’s OK with most dogs outside but wants to be an only pet. She’s affectionate, funny, stubborn and loves walkies!
Ursal (Bid to Save a Stray, fostered Worcestershire)
Ursal is a huge bear of a dog who will literally fill your home with love. He would be best as your only pet. Ursal is a beautiful, confident boy who can be stubborn at times, but with that face he knows he can get away with it.
Lily (Wonky Pets Rescue, fostered Derbyshire)
Little Lily is a Terrier/Chihuahua Cross who just adores being with men … sorry, ladies won’t get the same fuss! She fit, active and walks well on the lead. She’s okay with other dogs outside but wants to be the only one in the home, though could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat.
Zion (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Zion is as bright as a button, when there’s a treat on offer. He wants an adult-only home and has his priorities all worked out: sleep, plodding walks to meet friends and snuffle about, accepting fusses when he wants them and generally living his best, most relaxing, doggy life!
Henry (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Henry is a genial chap. He loves people, especially visitors! Adult only home needed as he can be boisterous when excited. He likes walking with other dogs but gets jumpy with overly forward ones. He enjoys splashies, tennis ball wrangling and being moral support when any gardening is going on.
BuskyBear (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
BuskyBear is a lovely boy who enjoys his walks and absolutely loves cuddles and fuss! He’d like to have someone at home with him a lot of the time. Older children would be fine for him and maybe another dog after careful introductions. Want to come walkies?
Jack & Missy (Freshfields Animal Rescue, fostered Liverpool)

Wendy (Stray2Me, kennelled Surrey)
Wendy is super affectionate, super intelligent and has the most beautifully done eyeliner imaginable! She loves other dogs she meets on walks but wants to be the only pet at home. Older teenagers would be fine for her. She loves walks and she loves love!
Speckle (Safe Rescue, fostered South Shields)
Speckle is a sweet Crossbreed lady who’s now enjoying walks and a comfy life in the U.K. She lives well with other dogs but will grumble if they try to share her bed. A quiet home and a soft bed along with lots of love would be perfect.
Geoff (Safe Rescue, fostered Surrey)
Geoff has spent 6 traumatic years in a public shelter but is now settling into a comfy life in his UK foster home. He’s happily living with a female dog and a cat but could be the only pet. With love and understanding, he will make a lovely companion.
Fred (Cloud K9 Rescue, fostered Whitby)
Handsome Fred is a soft, cuddly bundle of fur who loves attention and a comfy bed in the sun. Best of all, he would be so happy to have a quiet home without children or other dogs – he’s living with dogs now but can be scared of them.
Caring, cuddly Skye (Oldies Club, fostered Kent)
Skye ‘says thank-you’ when you have walked or fed her. She is so appreciative of the simple things, having been taken to the vet by her owner to be put to sleep. Could you love and care for Skye as much as she will love and care for you?
Jim (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Jim is a rather scruffily handsome boy who was rescued from Romania. He’s such a lovely, friendly chap who gets on well with other dogs or could be the only one in the home. He’s looking for an adult-only home where he can chill and nap to his heart’s content.
George (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincs.)
Adorable George is very happy now that he’s fit and well. He loves people, toys and snoozing in the sunshine. He wants to be an only pet in an adult only home and he wants cuddles!

Bugsy & Tally (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
Bugsy and Tally were found in a terrible state. They are adorable lurchers looking for an adult home where they will be your only pets. A secure back garden where they can have a potter and the odd zoom around is essential for these darlings.
Alfie & Rocky (Ark Animal Rescue, Lincolnshire coast)
Alfie & Rocky are the best of friends and need a home together. Before you rush to contact the Ark, ask yourself if you could happily and kindly deal with toileting accidents as little Rocky has a health issue leading to poor bladder control, and Alfie also has accidents. They are wonderful, friendly dogs.
Banjo (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Banjo will be the perfect companion for someone who lives on their own and loves walks! He’s good with other dogs when out and about but wants to be an only pet. He takes a while to bond but when he does it’s very strong and he’s super soppy!
Kilo (South East Dog Rescue, fostered Sussex)
Kilo is a soppy, gentle giant American Bulldog. He’d love an experienced, adult retirement home with regular walks, a quiet environment and a sofa of his own. He’s okay with dogs outside but wants to be the only one at home to get all the love. He’s gorgeous!
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Suki is a lovely lady but typical of her breed she’s as stubborn as she is amusing and loyal. She wants an adult only home as an only pet, owners she can dote on and a sofa to look splendid on. Is that too much to ask?
Thor (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
If you want a doting companion who’s easy on the eye and doesn’t need long walks, than look no further. Thor needs a relaxing retirement without having to deal with other pets, children or much in the way of comings and goings. He’s a home-body and a soppy-head!
Danny (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Gorgeous boy Danny is a Lurcher cross who loves cuddles once he’s got to know you. He’s quite shy and sensitive so he needs understanding, experienced owners. He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home. He’ll be an adorably soppy best friend!
Frankie (South East Dog Rescue, fostered Kent)
Frankie is a gorgeous Akita Cross who came into rescue as a stray, completely terrified and shut-down. She has blossomed into a sweet and easy-going girl looking for a retirement home without children or other pets. A garden is a must.
Jay (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton)
Little Jay has been loved and cared for, but is hairless due to health issues and allergies. He needs a caring, committed owner who is around all day. He needs to be your only pet. Jay needs a home with hard flooring as carpets are a problem for his allergies.
Nikita (Carla Lane Animals In Need, Liverpool)
Nikita loves chicken, toys and a fuss (but only when she says so!). She’s good with other dogs on walks but won’t share her home (i.e. toys) with other pets or children. She’s a lady who knows her own mind and needs an experienced owner with a sense of humour.
Lucky Diddy Dotty! (Oldies Club, fostered Edinburgh)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
Dotty was found on a motorway and luckily rescued. She needs a quiet home with company most of the time and walks to suit the mood she’s in on a particular day. A walk in the evening will tire her and help her settle better at night.
