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!

Poor Clive has spent so many years living a cruel existence in a shelter, but his spirit isn’t broken and he’s starting to blossom and enjoy the pleasures of the world around him in a foster home in the UK. He now needs a loving, forever home with perhaps one or two dogs to show him the way and people to give him lots of attention.
Willow (Battersea Brands Hatch, Kent)
Lovely Willow would suit someone with a large garden who will play ball with her each day and keep her entertained with games instead of taking her for walks. She’s fine to be left while you’re at work, as long as she gets a lunchtime break. What a star!
Tango – female (St. Giles Animal Centre, Somerset)
