Gorgeous golden Louie would like a nice retirement home where he can spend most of the day with his owner, go for fun walks, and play ball. He isn’t used to living with dogs or children, so doesn’t really want to start, but he can live with cats.

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!

Just like his namesake, Bear is a truly soft, fluffy teddy and just as cuddly. He’s friendly and affectionate with people he knows but can be nervous of strangers.

Simona (Love Underdogs, Essex)

Cara is a delightful German Shepherd who needs a new home through no fault of her own. She has a lovely temperament and is still quite active. She loves a run in the fields and would enjoy a nice rural setting for exploring.
Silvio (Safe Rescue, kennelled Norfolk)
Safe Rescue are pretty pessimistic about Silvio’s chances of finding a home (because he’s big, “plain”, and doesn’t like other animals), but we think someone special out there will want to help him.

Otto (Safe Rescue, kennelled Norfolk)
Poor old Otto needs someone to gallop up on a white charger and liberate him from his kennel! He is a darling boy who loves fuss, loves walks and likes to play.

Could that be you or someone you know? 08/12/2017 – Poor old Otto has been waiting far too long for a home of his own :(
Jess & Maddie (Evesham Greyhound & Lurcher Rescue, Worcestershire)
Two Lurcher girls are so much better than one! Jess and Maddie keep each other relaxed and entertained so all they need from you is fuss, food, walks and a comfy bed each.

Chuckie (Greyhound Gap, Staffordshire)
If you are looking for a devoted older dog that loves walks, then look no further! Chuckie is a loyal Lurcher x Shepherd boy who gets overlooked because he is older, and yet he really 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? 05/02/2018 – Chuckie still needs a home. :(
