Sadly, Colten has spent most of his life in a Romanian shelter, but he’s now progressing well in his foster home and looking for patience and treats to help him blossom completely. He loves food and walks and gets along with cats as long as they don’t bother him.
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.
Beagle-tastic Max! (Oldies Club, fostered Cheshire)
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!
Archie (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab, fostered Scotland)
Archie is a super fun, super intelligent Border Collie who could live with other dogs but not cats or children. He needs a secure garden with tall fences and will need plenty of exercise and games. Collie-experienced people will appreciate Archie for all his joie de vivre and the devotion!
Good as gold Jet & Sasha! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
JET & SASHA ARE OUR OLD DOGS OF THE WEEK!
This beautiful pair are a delight to have around. They could live with other dogs and older children but not cats. They love to play, have a quick sprint around the garden or a secure field and they love a cuddle. They’re easy-going and adorable! Please help Jet & Sasha by sharing their page!
Harold (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Gentle Harold is a sweet Staffie Cross boy who was found sadly as a stray. He’s looking for a loving home with an experienced owner and a garden to enjoy. Harold is fine with dogs outside but would prefer to be the only pet and can live with children aged 14+.
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.
Ronnie (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincolnshire)
Ronnie loves to sunbathe in the garden and snuggle up on the sofa with you for a bit of TV watching. He needs someone home most of the time as he isn’t used to being left. Walks in nice quiet areas where he won’t meet lots of dogs are also his dream.
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!
Beau the belle! (Oldies Club, fostered Surrey)
25/5/21 – We have been flooded with applications for Beau and aren’t able to accept any more, sorry! Applications are now closed.
Ben Whiskers, leggy Patterdale (Oldies Club, fostered Northumberland)
Sweet Ben is no trouble at all as long he’s had a good walk at a nice fast pace. He needs a home where he can be with someone all of the time. Ben can live with older children but needs to be your only dog. Oh and he has fabulous facial hair!
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.
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!
Jack & Missy (Freshfields Animal Rescue, fostered Liverpool)
Jack the Jack Russell and Missy the Staffy are an adorable pair of best friends. They need a new home together where they will have your company most of the day. They’d like an adult home where they are your only pets. Aren’t they simply gorgeous?!
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.
Oscar (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Oscar has been affected by events in the past which have left him very nervous. He has a special bond with one man at Freshfields which gives hope that he could replicate this bond with a new owner. Oscar needs a child-free home with a gentle, confident owner who is home most of the day.
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.
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!
Frankie (South East Dog Rescue, fostered Kent)
Frankie is a gorgeous Akita Cross who came into rescue as a stray, completely terrified and shut-down. She has blossomed into a sweet and easy-going girl looking for a retirement home without children or other pets. A garden is a must.
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.
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!
