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.
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.
Axel & Lexi (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Have room for two? Gorgeous Axel and Lexi’s owner was too ill to keep them and they need a new home together as they are so close. They love to play together and are such lovely dogs.
Niko (Friends of Akitas, kennelled Notts.)
Niko is a handsome boy who loves to play chase in the garden with his humans. He’s a very good traveller. Walks are so exciting that he gets a bit giddy and woofs his excitement, just so that you know that walks really are the best thing ever!
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.
Daisy & Alice (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Daisy and Alice are beautiful, active and fun-loving girls. They are the very best of friends so need a home together. Daisy’s a Pointer X and Alice is a Labrador X. Don’t they make a fabulous twosome?!
Butch (1 Dog At A Time, Northants)
Butch likes walks in the countryside, snoozing in the sunshine and getting fusses. He likes being stroked so much that he mumbles about how much he’s enjoying it! He’s good around lady dogs but is wary of most males. Could Butch be your new, outdoorsy best friend?
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..
Bugsy & Tally (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)
Bugsy and Tally were found in a terrible state. They are adorable lurchers looking for an adult home where they will be your only pets. A secure back garden where they can have a potter and the odd zoom around is essential for these darlings.
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.
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!
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Suki is a lovely lady but typical of her breed she’s as stubborn as she is amusing and loyal. She wants an adult only home as an only pet, owners she can dote on and a sofa to look splendid on. Is that too much to ask?
Thor (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
If you want a doting companion who’s easy on the eye and doesn’t need long walks, than look no further. Thor needs a relaxing retirement without having to deal with other pets, children or much in the way of comings and goings. He’s a home-body and a soppy-head!
Danny (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Gorgeous boy Danny is a Lurcher cross who loves cuddles once he’s got to know you. He’s quite shy and sensitive so he needs understanding, experienced owners. He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home. He’ll be an adorably soppy best friend!
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?!
Dillon (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
He’s cheerful, loving and lollopy. Dillon is a lovely boy who can live with teenagers but wants to be the only pet at home. He needs experienced owners who will continue his reward-based training around other dogs and live in Cornwall. He loves toys, zoomies and cuddles!
Nikita (Carla Lane Animals In Need, Liverpool)
Nikita loves chicken, toys and a fuss (but only when she says so!). She’s good with other dogs on walks but won’t share her home (i.e. toys) with other pets or children. She’s a lady who knows her own mind and needs an experienced owner with a sense of humour.
Fluke (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
This stunning Husky boy needs experienced owners with an active lifestyle because there’s no such thing as a walkies that’s too long! It would suit him best to have a fairly rural home, with no other pets or children and it needs to be in 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…
Mike (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Want a best friend who thinks you’re fascinating, loves your company and will do anything you ask if you have a treat in your hand? Then look no further than Mike! He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home… with tennis balls, toys and treats!
