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.
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.
No frenzies with Shenzie! (Oldies Club, fostered Norfolk)
The information we received from Shenzie’s foster carer makes her sound pretty much perfect. If you’re looking for a gem of an older lady to share your home and walks with, Shenzie could be the one!
Banjo (Love Underdogs, Essex)
BANJO IS OUR OLD DOG OF THE WEEK!
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! Please help Banjo by sharing his page!
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!
Butch (1 Dog at a Time Rescue UK, Northamptonshire)
Poor Butch has had a terrible life, right here in the UK. He is recovering well and discovering that life can be fun. He is good with quiet, neutered female dogs but needs a home without cats. Could you offer big Butch the happiest times of his life?
Wendy (Stray2Me, fostered Surrey)
Wendy is a very friendly and loving girl who adores human attention. She loves playing with other dogs but would prefer to be the only pet for all the love. She is intelligent, inquisitive and would enjoy an active home with older children to play with.
Marlon – midfield maestro! (Oldies Club, fostered Ceredigion)
Who’d guess that footballing Marlon is completely blind? He needs a quiet home with a calm canine friend but no cats or young children. Marlon loves slow walks, lots of sniffing, and snuggles on the sofa. You’ll need a Marlon-sized space on your bed: Marlon says that’s non-negiotable!
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. They settle well with other dogs and enjoy a walk, especially chasing squirrels, followed by a good nap. Prospective adopters must live within 1 hour of Taunton.
Jet & Sasha – Lovely, loving lurchers! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
Sweet lurchers, Jet and Sasha, are utterly devoted to one another. Their foster carer says they have been no trouble at all. Good with dogs and older children, they need a home without cats. Who could resist this delightful duo?!
Morgan (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Dear old Morgan is gentle and timid. He has many worries but is slowly getting used to people being kind. He’s too nervy to be around children. He needs experienced rescue dog owners and at least one other dog to help his confidence. He loves walkies, food and naps!
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.
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorrkshire)
Everybody loves Franky because he’s such a kissy, cuddly, fun-loving lad! He gets on well with other dogs and could live with one, but not cats (fun to chase) or children (easily bowled over). Franky loves life! If only he had a human of his own to share it with…
Tia & Jack (East Anglia Dog Rescue, Ipswich)
These cutie-pies are looking for a home within East Anglia where they’ll have a human for cuddles, walkies and to buy toys. A sofa to snuggle up on would be nice too! They want to be the only pets in an adult only home. Do you want two adoring best friends?
Twinkle Star and Superstar DJ (Oldies Club, fostered Newcastle upon Tyne)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
JRT Star and Yorkie DJ are little superstars. They need a home together and DJ will need to be allowed time to trust you as he will be frightened at first. They are scared of big dogs but could live with a friendly small dog. Gorgeous!
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.
Gino (Greyhound Trust Nottingham)
Easy-going Gino is a lovely, placid boy who’s had a limited life so far. He needs owners who will show him all the love, walks and soft furnishings life has to offer. He’s a poised and gentle soul who still likes to play. He is simply beautiful!
