Wilf is a fit and active Collie Cross who just loves his walks and playing fetch. He travels well, is good with other dogs and could also live with dog-savvy cats. As a stray, not much is known about his background, so any children should be 14+. He’s a great boy who will be a fabulous companion.

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!

Archie (All Animals Rescue and Rehome, Essex)
You would have to have a very hard heart for it to not be melted by Archie’s little old face. This wonderful boy gets on well with dogs, cats and children. Love and cuddles are all he asks for. Could you help?
Rusty (Pawprints to Freedom, fostered Glasgow)

Wyatt (Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, fostered Merseyside)
Wow, Wyatt! Aren’t you a handsome boy! This gorgeous creature could be yours if you can offer him a lovely home (in the North West), with fun walks and plenty of attention. He loves cuddles and food but doesn’t like other dogs sniffing his bum. That’s fair enough!
Rodney (The Mutts Nutts Rescue, fostered Lincolnshire)

Alfie (All Dogs Matter, fostered North London)
It’s so sad that a senior gent like Alfie was abandoned and he now deserves a loving, retirement home. He loves a cuddle and is gentle and relaxed. He’s good with people and dogs but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Alfie can live with children 10+ and possibly cats too.
Champ (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Kent)

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?
