The information we received from Shenzie’s foster carer makes her sound pretty much perfect. If you’re looking for a gem of an older lady to share your home and walks with, Shenzie could be the one!
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.
Butch (1 Dog at a Time Rescue UK, Northamptonshire)
Poor Butch has had a terrible life, right here in the UK. He is recovering well and discovering that life can be fun. He is good with quiet, neutered female dogs but needs a home without cats. Could you offer big Butch the happiest times of his life?
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!
Morgan (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Dear old Morgan is gentle and timid. He has many worries but is slowly getting used to people being kind. He’s too nervy to be around children. He needs experienced rescue dog owners and at least one other dog to help his confidence. He loves walkies, food and naps!
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
This lovely girl is shy and sensitive. She’s looking for a home with no children, possibly other dogs and with a lot of outdoor space. She doesn’t enjoy fuss and she has many anxieties but she does love playing ball games! Her new home must be within Cornwall.
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.
Eros (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This handsome chap is Eros. He would like a quiet, adult-only home with a patient owner who will help build his confidence. He’s a sweet-natured, playful and affectionate boy once he knows and trusts you.
