Opie is a soppy, goofy boy whose main hobby is making people laugh with his silly antics. He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home, with owners who are understanding of his nervousness of strangers. He doesn’t need much exercise. Just lots of love and fun!
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.
Fluke (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Are you experienced with Huskies? Do you love long walks? Do you live in Cornwall? If so, you might be a match for this spectacularly beautiful boy! Fluke takes a while to build up trust but when he does, he’s the most loyal friend you could ask for.
Archie (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, Essex)
This handsome man with the ears is Archie. He’s only seven and he’s a collie, so virtually a pup! He needs a child-free, cat-free home as either your only dog or with placid female dogs. You must have collie experience, love walks and have an understanding attitude.
Duchess (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Gorgeous Duchess is slowly flourishing in her foster home after years in a dreadful Romanian shelter. She’s looking for a quiet, rural home, preferably with another calm dog, but will need time to realise that life can be happy. Could you be her special person?
‘ard-to-fault, Artos! (Oldies Club, fostered Hampshire)
21/09/2020 – No more applications please! Artos is a popular boy and has some lovely offers to choose from!
Cuddly Artos is a gorgeous boy who doesn’t act his age. He’d like a home in a quiet area with a garden to enjoy. He’s good with dogs but can’t live with cats. This golden treasure is going to make someone’s family complete!
Balto (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Balto is a big cuddly teddy bear with a passion for car rides, forest walks and quiet evenings watching TV with his people. He needs a confident owner who will continue his training, with the full support of Love Underdogs. He’s made great progress already!
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This beautiful girl is looking for a special home where she can have lovely walks in the quiet countryside and be the only pet in an adult-only home. She doesn’t want lots of comings and goings. She does want lots of cuddles, naps and play time!
Penny (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Hampshire)
Pretty Penny needs to find a home urgently as her current foster family is moving and can’t take her along. She’s a lovely old girl who just wants a steady life with a nice garden to enjoy and not too many steps for her old joints. Just look at that face!
Sheba & Shilo (Suki’s Canine Rescue Crew, fostered West Midlands)
Sheba and Shilo arrived in rescue in a terrible state, but with weeks of medical care, and the dedication of their foster carer, they are doing unbelievably well. Could you offer them a quiet home together where they will receive all the love and care they missed out on?
Teddy (Safe rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Big, cuddly Teddy is looking for a peaceful home which he’d be happy to share with other nice dogs, preferably female. He needs to make up for missed time with lots of walks and comfy, snuggly naps. Plus, of course, plenty of fuss!
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Do you want a fun best friend who understands everything you say and thinks you’re amazing? Xena is super intelligent and will keep you amused as long as you keep the tennis balls coming. She needs an adult-only home, in Cornwall, with lots of outdoor space, toys and love!
