URGENT: Max’s foster carers are going away in July and he wouldn’t cope well in kennels!
Max is friendly, affectionate and playful. He’s happy to sleep between walkies as long as he knows you’re nearby. He’s good with other dogs he knows but wants to be the only pet at home. Older children are fine and he wants a fairly active lifestyle with plenty of fuss!
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.
Archie (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, fostered Scotland)

Good as gold Jet & Sasha! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
JET & SASHA ARE OUR OLD DOGS OF THE WEEK!

Beth (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Beth is a shy little girl but, once she knows you, she loves a fuss. She like to play with other dogs and would enjoy living in a multi-dog household or as an only pet if she could meet with other dogs. Any children at home should be aged 12+. Beth has not been cat-tested.
Brant (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Brant is a sweet and shy boy who has taken a long time to trust humans but is now ready for a quiet retirement home with at least one other dog. He’s quiet and clean in the home and now truly deserves to enjoy a forever, loving home.
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
He might not look like a teddy but once you get to know Franky he’s all cuddles… and kisses! He loves to play and gets on well with most other dogs at the kennels. He wants an adult only home with no small furries. Could you foster or adopt him?
Corky (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered East London)
Corky is a lovely lad who is playful, affectionate and full of character. He’s looking for an adult-only, forever home and is fully house-trained. Corky can live with dogs, but not cats or other small animals. He loves company and chasing his squeeky pheasant!
Ball-hoarding Coco (Oldies Club, fostered East Sussex)
This beautiful lady is very definite about certain things. If you throw a ball for her to chase, she will keep it and expect you to then throw another. She’s OK with most dogs outside but wants to be an only pet. She’s affectionate, funny, stubborn and loves walkies!
Baxta (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Baxta is such a good boy on walks that he’s used for inductions for first time dog walkers at the kennels! He needs a child free home and a tennis ball or several. He’s an active, attentive boy who will keep you amused with his dedication to ball duty.
Sweetpea (Rocky Road Rescue, fostered Arbroath)
Sweetpea loves cuddles and walks. He needs an adult-only home where he will be given boundaries and receive further training. He can live with dogs his own size and also friendly cats.
Zion (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Zion is as bright as a button, when there’s a treat on offer. He wants an adult-only home and has his priorities all worked out: sleep, plodding walks to meet friends and snuffle about, accepting fusses when he wants them and generally living his best, most relaxing, doggy life!
Wendy (Stray2Me, kennelled Surrey)
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!
Speckle (Safe Rescue, fostered South Shields)
Speckle is a sweet Crossbreed lady who’s now enjoying walks and a comfy life in the U.K. She lives well with other dogs but will grumble if they try to share her bed. A quiet home and a soft bed along with lots of love would be perfect.
Geoff (Safe Rescue, fostered Surrey)
Geoff has spent 6 traumatic years in a public shelter but is now settling into a comfy life in his UK foster home. He’s happily living with a female dog and a cat but could be the only pet. With love and understanding, he will make a lovely companion.
Fred (Cloud K9 Rescue, fostered Whitby)
Handsome Fred is a soft, cuddly bundle of fur who loves attention and a comfy bed in the sun. Best of all, he would be so happy to have a quiet home without children or other dogs – he’s living with dogs now but can be scared of them.
Caring, cuddly Skye (Oldies Club, fostered Kent)
Skye ‘says thank-you’ when you have walked or fed her. She is so appreciative of the simple things, having been taken to the vet by her owner to be put to sleep. Could you love and care for Skye as much as she will love and care for you?
Jim (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Jim is a rather scruffily handsome boy who was rescued from Romania. He’s such a lovely, friendly chap who gets on well with other dogs or could be the only one in the home. He’s looking for an adult-only home where he can chill and nap to his heart’s content.
Merlin (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Teddy Bear Merlin is on the small side for an Akita, which makes him the perfect compact package. He could live with a compatible female dog and is a gentle, sweet boy who loves his walks.
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.
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.
Banjo (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Banjo will be the perfect companion for someone who lives on their own and loves walks! He’s good with other dogs when out and about but wants to be an only pet. He takes a while to bond but when he does it’s very strong and he’s super soppy!
Kilo (South East Dog Rescue, fostered Sussex)
Kilo is a soppy, gentle giant American Bulldog. He’d love an experienced, adult retirement home with regular walks, a quiet environment and a sofa of his own. He’s okay with dogs outside but wants to be the only one at home to get all the love. He’s gorgeous!
Mint and Pepper (Stray2Me, fostered Somerset)

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.
Lucky Diddy Dotty! (Oldies Club, fostered Edinburgh)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
Dotty was found on a motorway and luckily rescued. She needs a quiet home with company most of the time and walks to suit the mood she’s in on a particular day. A walk in the evening will tire her and help her settle better at night.
