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.

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!
