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.

Toby (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)

Darling Dillon will be a loving and loyal boy for his new family: kids aged 12+. He needs to be your only pet, ideally in a rural location, and needs a large garden to play in. You’ll need to be close to Hayle, Cornwall as NAWT require a few visits.
