Delightful Tiggy has been through so much in the last year. She’s an elderly lady needing a warm home with a nice garden to potter in for her final months, hopefully years. It’s not Tiggy’s fault that she finds herself in kennels. Could you offer her a quiet home with company most of the day, where she can relax and be cuddled?
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.
Pringle (Safe Rescue, fostered Berkshire)
Pretty Pringle is quite an independent lady who loves to snooze her days away on a comfy bed or sofa, but she’s not averse to being stroked and enjoys walks. She is okay with or without other dogs and, of course, just loves her food!
Marzipan (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
*Reserved*
Mostly, Marzipan is a playful, lovable, sweet dog and perfectly normal, but she’s quirky! Different things spook her but can be easily managed. She gets on well with dogs and would suit a quiet, adult home.
Eros (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This handsome chap is Eros. He would like a quiet, adult-only home with a patient owner who will help build his confidence. He’s a sweet-natured, playful and affectionate boy once he knows and trusts you.
Marly (Miss Mollie’s Rescue, York)
Marly is a Podenco Maneto cross who was rescued in a very sorry state. She has recovered now and simply needs a quiet, child-free home where she will be your only pet. She just wants to enjoy home comforts in her twilight time.
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?
Angelina (Animal Adoption International, fostered Isle of Wight)
Angelina is an adorable lady who loves people and deserves a forever home after years in a Romanian shelter. She’s house-trained, walks well on-lead and is great with other dogs, though no cats please. She’s perfect for a family with older children.
Laura (Safe Rescue, fostered South Shields)
Lovely Laura is a gentle lady who shows the scars of a hard life in Romania, but she now seeks attention and loves a cuddle. She is happy living with other dogs but would enjoy a calm home where she can relax as the only pet. She deserves to spend the rest of her life being loved.
Lillie (Foal Farm, Kent)
Lillie is a fun-loving, young-at-heart Staffy Cross who has so much love and affection to give. She needs to be your only pet. Could you offer her a warm home and a happy future?
Morgan (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Lovely Morgan is a very timid boy who needs owners who are experienced with rescue dogs as he needs to be allowed to trust in his own time. For confidence building, he wants to live with at least one other dog, no cats and only grown-up, caring humans please.
Max (Teckels, Gloucester)
Max was a much-loved boy but his owner was too ill to keep him. Max is very upset and confused in kennels. Could you offer him a quiet home as your only pet, with company most of the day, and snuggles on the sofa?
Violet (Rovers Dog Rescue, fostered London)
Sadly, poor Violet was found as a stray, probably abandoned, and found to be deaf and nearly blind. She so deserves a quiet, loving and understanding adult home. She may be able to live with a calm dog. Violet enjoys walks and can be left for reasonable periods. Can you help her?
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!
Geordie (Animal Adoption International, fostered N. London)
28/10/2020 – Geordie has been reserved! Good luck lovely boy!
This sweet old boy is steady, affectionate and relishes all of life’s little joys. He’d be happy living with other friendly dogs but not cats and he wants an adult-only home for the sake of his napping schedule. He’s an all-round lovely-head!
Cassie & Jimmy (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Just imagine how much fun you could have with this adorable pair! Cassie and Jimmy are inseparable, super-friendly staffies who would be ideal for a family with children aged 10+.
Lovely lady Lucy! (Oldies Club, fostered North Yorkshire)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
Lucy is a shy, sweet and undemanding lady who is very active when out but likes to sleep wrapped in blankets on the sofa when at home. She takes time to get to know you. You will need to be patient, but Lucy’s certainly worth it!
Xena (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Do you want a fun best friend who understands everything you say and thinks you’re amazing? Xena is super intelligent and will keep you amused as long as you keep the tennis balls coming. She needs an adult-only home, in Cornwall, with lots of outdoor space, toys and love!
Branny (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
2/8/20 – Branny has been reserved!
Funny-eared, waggy-tailed Branny is a playful and loving boy who just wants a quiet, adult-only home and a happy life of walkies and sofa snuggles. He likes a game of fetch and loves learning new things for treats. With those expressive ears, he’s probably the world’s best listener!
