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?
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.
Kathy (Cloud K9 Rescue, fostered County Durham)
Beautiful Kathy is a very friendly girl who would make a great family pet. Rescued from Romania, she’s now looking for an experienced, caring home and could live with dogs and children over 11 years. A fully secure garden is a must.
Loxie (Animal Action Trust, fostered Essex)
*Reserved*
Loxie is a very sweet, cute mini Yorkshire Terrier who gets on with both dogs and cats. She’s looking for a quiet home where any children are 9+. She enjoys her walks and greets everyone outside.
Bennie (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Bennie is now flourishing in his foster home after a horrible life in a Romanian shelter. He’s raring to go for walks and beginning to trust again. He’d like a quiet home with another dog and with no small children.
Confident companion – Coco! (Oldies Club, fostered East Sussex)
Coco is a confident, affectionate girl who loves to be with her people most of the time. She is big and strong so you will need to be physically fit for walkies. She’d be best as your only pet but seems fine around older children.
Reggie and Ronnie (Senior Staffy Club, kennelled Worcester)
Reggie and Ronnie are a pair of lovable, super-friendly Staffy boys looking for a loving home together. They love human company and being stroked. They need to be the only pets and could live with children aged 14+. Aren’t they adorable?
Sophie (Cloud K9 Rescue, fostered Yorkshire)
Sophie is such a soft and gentle lady with a big heart to match her size. She loves people and would make a wonderful companion in a quiet retirement home. She’s fine with other dogs but would prefer to be the only one in the home and is good with cats..
Lily (Senior Staffy Club, fostered Stafford)
Beautiful Lily is described as the best behaved and gentlest Staffy lady ever. She’s good with all people and always willing to please. She needs a quiet home with older children and no other pets. She’s such a sweet and loving lady.
Alfie & Rocky (Ark Animal Rescue, Lincolnshire coast)
Alfie & Rocky are the best of friends and need a home together. Before you rush to contact the Ark, ask yourself if you could happily and kindly deal with toileting accidents as little Rocky has a health issue leading to poor bladder control, and Alfie also has accidents. They are wonderful, friendly dogs.
Mint and Pepper (Stray2Me, fostered Somerset)
*RESERVED*
Cute Jack Russell duo, Mint and Pepper, are sisters who need a new, loving home together due to their owner’s health. They are very friendly and good with people.
