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.

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?
Kathy (Cloud K9 Rescue, fostered County Durham)

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.
Bennie (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)

Confident companion – Coco! (Oldies Club, fostered East Sussex)

Bugsy & Tally (RSPCA West Hatch, Somerset)

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!
Maud (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Maud can be “moody Maud” after being chained outside for 10 years in Romania. She enjoys a potter and is looking for a cosy, adult home. She gets on okay with cats but doesn’t want other dogs on her patch. She deserves a good life now.
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, 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…
