Handsome boy Bond is super friendly with people and a joy to have around the home. He’s nervous of other dogs and prefers walks in quieter areas as he’s not keen on them getting too close. Could you offer Bond a fabulous new home?
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.
Merlin (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Merlin loves all people and wants to play with other dogs. He can live with children age 12+ and another dog of the calm, female variety but not with cats. He’s a delightful boy with a cheerful, gentle nature. He needs company most of the time. Could Merlin enchant you?
Jess (Helping Hounds Hampshire)
Gentle Jess is a super sweetheart German Shepherd who just loves all humans. She enjoys being stroked, groomed and cuddled. Jess is perfect on-lead and would suit a home with large breed experience as the only pet.
Snow (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Wirral)
Snow is as lovely as she looks! She’s affectionate and walks beautifully on the lead. She doesn’t want to deal with cats or children in her home but she does want another nice dog or two. Could you give this gentle soul the relaxing retirement she deserves?
Archie (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, fostered Scotland)
Archie is a super fun, super intelligent Border Collie who could live with other dogs but not cats or children. He needs a secure garden with tall fences and will need plenty of exercise and games. Collie-experienced people will appreciate Archie for all his joie de vivre and the devotion!
BuskyBear (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
BuskyBear is a lovely boy who enjoys his walks and absolutely loves cuddles and fuss! He’d like to have someone at home with him a lot of the time. Older children would be fine for him and maybe another dog after careful introductions. Want to come walkies?
Wendy (Stray2Me, fostered Sussex)
Wendy is super affectionate, super intelligent and has the most beautifully done eyeliner imaginable! She loves other dogs she meets on walks but wants to be the only pet at home. Older teenagers would be fine for her. She loves walks and she loves love!
Axel & Lexi (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Have room for two? Gorgeous Axel and Lexi’s owner was too ill to keep them and they need a new home together as they are so close. They love to play together and are such lovely dogs.
Niko (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Niko is a handsome boy who loves to play chase in the garden with his humans. He’s a very good traveller. Walks are so exciting that he gets a bit giddy and woofs his excitement, just so that you know that walks really are the best thing ever!
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Suki is a lovely lady but typical of her breed she’s as stubborn as she is amusing and loyal. She wants an adult only home as an only pet, owners she can dote on and a sofa to look splendid on. Is that too much to ask?
Thor (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
If you want a doting companion who’s easy on the eye and doesn’t need long walks, than look no further. Thor needs a relaxing retirement without having to deal with other pets, children or much in the way of comings and goings. He’s a home-body and a soppy-head!
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
This lovely girl is shy and sensitive. She’s looking for a home with no children, possibly other dogs and with a lot of outdoor space. She doesn’t enjoy fuss and she has many anxieties but she does love playing ball games! Her new home must be within Cornwall.
Nikita (Carla Lane Animals In Need, Liverpool)
Nikita loves chicken, toys and a fuss (but only when she says so!). She’s good with other dogs on walks but won’t share her home (i.e. toys) with other pets or children. She’s a lady who knows her own mind and needs an experienced owner with a sense of humour.
