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.
Mabel (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Mabel is a gorgeous German Shepherd who was sadly found as a stray. She is such a gentle soul who is good with people and okay with other dogs, though she would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Mabel can live with children aged 12+ and would be a lovely companion.
Ruby (Rain Rescue, South Yorkshire)
This lovely lady enjoys being with other dogs, especially males. She’s quite shy with new people and needs an adult only home. Gentle and unassuming by nature, she asks for very little out of life. A good garden and comfy sofa and she’ll be content.
Murphy (Romanian Rescue Appeal, Leeds)
Murphy enjoys an ear scratch and to rest his handsome head on your lap. He’s good with dogs but needs a quiet, adult-only home with a steady, consistent routine. He loves the outdoors, so will enjoy a big garden.
Dot (NAWT Clacton, Essex)
Looking for a dog that doesn’t like walks but loves affection and snoozing in front of the TV? You might think that a collie won’t suit you, but think again! If you have a nice garden and no other pets, Dot might want to move in.
Mabel (Rovers Dog Rescue, fostered Essex)
Poor Mabel was shut in a flat for 9 years and is fearful of all things new. She’s now bonded with her foster mum but is wary of strangers. She’s looking for an experienced, patient owner who can help her blossom into a sweet, loving companion. She would suit being the only pet but could live another calm dog.
Buddy needs a buddy! (Oldies Club, fostered Hampshire)
Buddy’s ideal home will have a resident dog to be his buddy. He likes to have company and needs a home where he won’t be left for long periods and will be allowed time to settle. Buddy is good with cats and is a lovely, gentle boy.
Tika (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)
Steady lady Tika is very friendly, getting on well with most other dogs. She enjoys walks, home comforts and good company. She’s spent a decade living in kennels but now it’s her chance for a happy life!
Karla (Friends of Akitas Trust, Durham)
Karla is a well-behaved Akita lady who has been socialised with dogs and children. She needs a home with someone at home most of the day. She’s a real beauty!
Lenny (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Lovely Lenny is a very friendly and loving little chap who can be defensive of those he loves. He gets on well with other dogs and is a pleasure to take out and about. He just needs a loving family to call his own.
Willow (Romanian Rescue Appeal, Wiltshire)
Willow is an affectionate Shepherd/Collie Crossbreed who will bond closely with his owner. He loves his walks and would be happy to live in a rural area, preferably as an only pet, and where any children are older. He’s such a handsome boy.
Mila (Halfway House, fostered N. Lincs)
Mila is a lovely, steady old girl who gets on with other dogs, confident cats and older children. She likes short walks and long lounges, either in a sunny spot in the garden or on the sofa with you! She’s easy going and a sheer delight to have around.
Apollo (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Hertfordshire)
Gentle giant Apollo is a sociable and adaptable Carpathian Shepherd type who is looking for a home with an experienced owner and where there are no other pets except perhaps another dog of a similar breed. He’s simply gorgeous.
TamTam (Paws Crossed Survivors Egypt, kennelled Dorset)
Young TamTam suffered horrific cruelty and has lost part of her left front leg. She needs a home with a big, lawned garden as she is too scared to go for walks. She is a lovable, cuddly, bouncy girl who deserves to find happiness.
Shiloh (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Gorgeous Shiloh is a sweet boy who is only in rescue because of his owner’s allergies. He’s a well-behaved boy who is fine with other dogs but he doesn’t like cats. Could you offer Shiloh a new home and lots of cuddles?
Sandy (RSPCA South Godstone, Surrey)
All dogs are special but Sandy is exceptional! True, she’s loving, obedient and all the usual stuff BUT she doesn’t need walks. Physically, she’s completely normal. Emotionally, she’s a resolute homebody. She wants to be an only pet in an adult only home with a big garden… having absolutely no adventures!
Isaac (Animal Helpline, Cambridgeshire)
Isaac seems to have been a much-loved dog in previous years. It’s such a shame that he is in rescue. Could you offer this loveable teddy bear an adult home where he will be your only pet?
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?
Lyra (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Lyra is looking for an adult only home with owners who like nice walks and who will show her how lovely life can be. She loves a tummy rub and a jolly game too. Good with most other dogs, Lyra is an easy-going girl with a big shiny heart!
Clive (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
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.
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!

Misha (Ashbourne Animal Welfare, Derbyshire)
Big, beautiful, bear-like Misha gives substantial cuddles! She’s good with children, especially if they like playing football as much as her. She loves her toys and greets people with a teddy! Her gentle nature and loving heart make her the perfect family dog. 12/10/19 – Still needs a home
Buddy (Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary)
Buddy is a very handsome crossbreed boy who loves chasing balls and frisbees. He would like to be your only pet but could live with teenagers aged 16+. Could you offer fun-loving Buddy the home he is waiting for? 5/9/19 – Buddy is still waiting!
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? 5/9/19 – Chuckie still needs a home!
