SKY IS OUR OLD DOG OF THE WEEK!
Noble, loving, beautiful Sky is looking for a special home as an only pet with a big garden because she doesn’t need walks. She does need a peaceful environment with no neighbouring dogs and only grown up owners to play with her and cuddle her. Could that be you? Please help Sky by sharing her page!
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.
Micky (Safe Rescue, kennelled Norfolk)
Unremarkable at first glance but study Micky’s ears and you see an inkling of his past. This former Romanian stray has had a hard life and what is remarkable about him is how friendly and trusting he remains, both with people and other dogs. He just needs a loving home!
Fluke (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Fluke is a beautiful boy who needs husky-experienced people. He needs a large secure garden and you will need to be local to Cornwall so that you can visit him lots and he can get to know you before going home.
Tiger (Love Underdogs, Essex)
18/3/20 – Lovely Tiger is now reserved!
Life as a yard dog hasn’t spoiled Tiger’s character. He’s a happy and affectionate big lad who loves a cuddle. He’s fine with dogs and he loves a good run now that he’s discovered the joys of freedom.
Taz (Love Underdogs, Essex)
If you’re looking for an extra-large teddy bear, may we present Taz Underdog! He’s a fluffy, cuddly and simply gorgeous Malamute who has spent his life in a cage with no shelter. If you have Eskimo-breed experience, Taz could be the boy for you!
Kelly (Animal Adoption International, Essex)
Kelly has spent her whole life in a Greek shelter and is a shy flower. She’s a docile and sweet girl who would like to live with a mellow but confident doggy friend.
Sid (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, fostered Durham)
Shy Sid is a gentle boy who will be a sweet and loving companion once he knows you. He’d like a canine friend in his new home and he’s currently mingling with cats and horses. Sid’s crossing his paws for a lovely home.
Mabel (Rovers Dog Rescue, Essex)
Poor Mabel was shut in a flat for 9 years and is fearful of all things new. She is wary of strangers and needs an experienced, patient owner who will help her blossom. She needs to be your only pet in a quiet, rural home.
Lenny (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
This adorable boy is very loving with his people. He gets on really well with other dogs and would happily share his home with some. He’s good with dog savvy children and is a joy to take out for walks. Little Lenny is a treasure of a dog!
Blue (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Glos.)
Blue the Collie would like to be your only pet and his ideal home will be in a nice quiet area. He’s a wonderful boy who thoroughly deserves to be happy again.
Yakari (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Yakari took a while to overcome his previous sadness, but now he’s like a new dog! He needs an active, compassionate and happy adult home. Yakari could live with a submissive female dog but would also do well as your only dog.
Tegen (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Tegen is a beautiful girl with a kind soul. She is gradually coming out of her shell and needs an active, compassionate and relaxed, adult household. She loves other dogs, so if you have a confident dog to be her friend, that should help her blossom.
Koshi (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Koshi is a gorgeous girl with a golden temperament. She’s had a miserable life in a rusty pen in Transylvania and thinks life in the UK is marvellous. Could you offer her lots of love and happy times?
Taz (All Creatures Great and Small, Cwmbran)
Poor old Taz can’t understand why he’s found himself in rescue. He’s a wonderful, handsome German Shepherd Cross who loves to go out for a walk. Could you help him?
Zara (Foal Farm Animal Rescue, Kent)
Zara is a beautiful GSD/Samoyed who needs a loving, calm home as her owner passed away. She loves being around people, adores a walk and can live with teenage children. She could possibly live with another dog subject to introductions, but no cats please.
Calvin (Animal Adoption International, fostered Yorkshire)
Cute Calvin can’t understand why no-one wants him – he’s lovely, quiet, gentle and great with people and other dogs. He’s also clean in the house and good on-lead … quite the perfect gent. Can you offer him your sofa?
Poppy (New Moon Dog Rescue, fostered West Yorkshire)
Poppy was rescued from Romania but sadly her two pups didn’t make it. She is great with other dogs and needs an adult-only home with company.
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This spectacularly beautiful girl is looking for experienced owners who like walkies in quiet areas as much as she does! She wants to be an only pet in an adult only home. Once she’s bonded with you, Suki’s affectionate and amusing. She’ll be loyal to you forever!
Isaac (Animal Helpline, Cambridgeshire)
Not just a handsome face. Not just a fluffy teddy bear. Isaac is a steady, well behaved, walkies-loving boy who thrives on attention. He especially likes being brushed! He enjoys playing ball games yet has that Akita trait of always being dignified and beautiful… even when being silly!
Max (Islay Dog Rescue, kennelled Ayrshire)
If you love a big dog, take a look at Max, a gorgeous mix of GSD x Great Dane. He’s a real favourite with the volunteers at the rescue and he is full of life and loves long walks. Could you offer Max an active home?
Chester (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Chester is a beautiful, young-at-heart boy who is looking for a home with active people and a resident dog or two for companionship. Chester loves cuddles!
Emily (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Pretty Emily is a Chow Chow cross with great intelligence and charisma. She’s confident, funny and so gorgeous! She wants to be an only pet and would be perfect for people with a good sense of humour who will appreciate her wit and charm.
Danny (Private Rehoming, Cornwall)
Danny is a gentle, affectionate people-pleaser who loves his walks almost as much as he loves his food. He’s best suited to an adult only home as an only pet, although he’s easy-going with other dogs he meets. He’s simply a loving and loyal boy, especially when you have treats!
Lyra (Love Underdogs, Essex)
5/3/20 – Reserved!
Lyra is a lady of great poise. She loves being with people, getting fuss or playing a game, but she’s unassuming and calm too. She’s a wonderful mixture of relaxed, loving and playful. But she’s never had a proper home… yet!
TamTam (Paws Crossed Survivors Egypt, kennelled West Dorset)
Young TamTam suffered horrific cruelty and has lost part of a front leg. She needs a female owner in a secluded home, close to Bridport, with a big, lawned garden as she is too scared to go for walks. TamTam thoroughly deserves to find happiness.
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Pretty Xena loves tennis balls! She’s an intelligent Collie Cross lady who loves to show off her skills. Could you offer her a rural Cornish home – ideally a farm or smallholding? 22/2/20 – Xena still needs a home
Chuckie (Greyhound Gap, Staffordshire)
Chuckie is a loyal Lurcher x Shepherd boy who gets overlooked because he is older, and yet he doesn’t act like an old dog at all. He likes children and he could live with a mature female dog. Chuckie’s so fed up of waiting in kennels – is he waiting for you? 2/2/20 – Chuckie still needs a home!
