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.

Taurus (RSPCA Tameside & Glossop, Gtr. Manchester)

Taurus is a big, steady boy who gets on with other dogs on walks, is good with older children and has lived with a cat before. He loves long walks, pottering in the garden and just chillin’ with his people.

Sammy (Fur-get Me Not Rescue, fostered Liverpool)

Sammy is a cuddly, older lady who likes a quieter life but still does get bursts of playful energy. She’s living in a foster home with an older Collie and they get on great, but she is not cat-friendly. Sammy has previously lived fine with children but is now looking for a peaceful retirement home.

Gem (Forest of Dean Dog Rescue, Gloucestershire)

Gem is a beautiful Collie who loves her people, walks well on a lead and is good in the car. She also enjoys playing ball. She could possibly be rehomed with a male dog around her size but no cats please, and any children in the home should be aged 14+.

Boomer (All Dogs Matter, North London)

Boomer collapsed on the street from heatstroke but happily has now fully recovered and is looking for a quiet foster/forever home. He’d like a garden to potter around and could live with children aged 12+. Boomer is okay with dogs outside but would like to be the only pet.

Soppy Staffie Alfie! (Oldies Club, fostered Essex)

Alfie is an adorable Staffie Cross who is loving, playful and likes lots of attention. He’s fine with dogs out and about but would suit a pet-free home for all the love he so enjoys. Alfie is fine with older, dog-savvy children as he can be strong. Have you got enough love for Alfie?

Buster (Animal Action Trust, fostered Essex)

Buster is a cute and cuddly Jack Russell Cross whose owner sadly passed away. He loves all things in the home, especially cuddles and a space on the sofa. Buster is used to visiting children but needs a pet-free home with a nice garden for playtime.

DJ and Milo (Dogs Friends, Somerset)

DJ and Milo are a pair of gorgeous gentle giants who are looking for a home together. They are very well-behaved, laid-back and no trouble at all, so don’t let their size put you off! A loving, pet-free home where any children are aged 12+ would be perfect for them.

Intrepid Toby! (Oldies Club, fostered Norfolk)

Toby is a fun little boy but he needs some TLC. His eyesight is poor and he can only walk for about 20 minutes. Then it’s super fun buggy time! He loves meeting other dogs, smelling good smells, eating his special food and getting belly rubs and cuddles.

Maud (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)

Pretty Maud would like a home with at least one other dog. She can live with children from age 10 but she’s a bit shy so they’ll need to give her space to start with. She enjoys fuss and loves food! Walkies with her doggy friends is her favourite thing!

Ella (Leicester Animal Aid)

Ella is a lovely, easy-going Labrador lady who loves to play and go on walks. She would enjoy living in a teenage home as the only pet but is happy meeting dogs out and about. She’s a real sweetie.

Ralph (Leicester Animal Aid)

Ralph is a very handsome and chatty Husky boy who likes to be kept busy and go on lovely walks followed by chilling on the sofa. He needs a home as the only pet with a secure garden and older teenagers. Ralph is sociable with other dogs but will not share his toys and food.

Rio (Leicester Animal Aid)

Lovely Lurcher Rio is a typical sofa monster who loves lots of cuddles. He could live with a similar size dog but no other small animals as he has a high prey drive. Children over 10 years are welcome to run around with, then it’s sofa time.

Missy (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)

Missy is a sweet girl who is fine with relaxed dogs and could live with a calm male dog of a similar age. She might need further training so you’ll need to be happy to help Missy settle in her own time. She could live with teenagers but not cats.

Jake (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)

Sweet Jake arrived in rescue via an RSPCA inspector. He’s a lovely lad who is great with children but needs a home as your only pet. Do you have dog experience and the love and patience to allow Jake to settle and give him any training he might need?

Phoenix (South East Dog Rescue, Kent)

Sadly found as a stray, Phoenix is living up to his name as a friendly super star and happy boy who loves to greet everyone he meets. He needs a pet-free home where any children are aged 13+ and where there is a garden for him to relax and chill in. Isn’t he adorable?

Kaizer (On the Way Home Dog Rescue, Northampton)

Kaizer is very much in tune with his people and is so gentle around children and the elderly. He might push his luck unless there’s a confident head of household though! He’s scared of dogs so needs further socialisation and training.

Nico and Nala (On the Way Home Rescue, Wales)

Nico and Nala are a pair of American Bulldogs needing a loving home together. They are friendly, clever and just the sweetest doggy duo ever. They are good with all people and dogs but not used to cats. Nico and Nala are two wonderful characters!

Nina (All Dogs Matter, North London)

Cute Nina is a sweet golden oldie who is looking for a quiet retirement home. She is blind though it doesn’t get in her way. She needs direct access to a garden and could live with children aged 14+ and a calm canine companion, but no cats please.

Tyson (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)

Tyson is a sweet, soppy and loving Staffy boy who would love to be in his own home again. He’s looking for experienced owners, a couple of nice walks a day and lots of affection. Tyson needs to be the only pet and can live with teenage children.

Flossy (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)

Flossy is a pretty Collie type Cross and is a quiet, sweet little girl who now enjoys her walks and likes a fuss. She’s looking for a quiet household with no children under 10 and needs the company of a similar natured dog for confidence.

Coco (Dogs Trust Merseyside)

Coco is a lovely gentle boy who enjoys his walks. He gets along with dogs but would be best suited to being the only pet in a home where any children are older. He would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a pal.

Drifter (Safe Rescue, fostered Norwich)

Drifter was rescued from years of a hard life in a Romanian shelter and can be a bit cantankerous though mostly, he is a cheerful soul who even enjoys a fuss and a bum scratch. He can live with dogs and older children but has not been cat-tested. Can you give Drifter the loving home he now deserves?

Loyal Pooch Hooch! (Oldies Club, fostered Middlesex)

Hunky Hooch is described as a beautiful inside and out Dogue de Bordeaux. He loves human company and is an affectionate boy who enjoys lots of tummy rubs, playing with his squeaky toys, walks and exploring. Hooch would like a quiet home as an only pet where any children are older.

Snowdrop (All Dogs Matter, North London)

**Reserved**
Adorable Snowdrop is such a sweet Bichon Frise who was rescued from a puppy farm. She would like someone around for most of the day and could live with children aged 12+. Snowdrop needs the company of another similar dog and direct access to a garden.
