Rover is a gentle and affectionate Staffie Cross who loves people. He’s lived happily with children and other dogs but not cats. As a companion, you couldn’t ask for a better boy and he’s urgently looking for a foster/permanent home for all those home comforts he loves.

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.
Zola (Stray Dogs Sanctuary, Devon)
Zola will be your utterly devoted companion and love you forever! She can live with other dogs and children as she has a lovely temperament. She likes her lead walks and loves getting under the duvet even more!
Kingston (RSPCA Danaher Animal Home, Essex)
Just look at those fabulous eye patches! Handsome Kingston is a very happy and playful chappy, but being in kennels is really getting him down. He can live with children aged 6+. Could you offer him a fun, family home?
Mary (RSPCA Macclesfield, fostered Cheshire)
22/3/19 – Lovely Mary is reserved for a new home!
Pretty Mary lived with 8 other Shepherds and they never left the property. As the eldest, Mary is the most well-adjusted, so must have had a normal early life. She needs a loving home with someone around most of the time and preferably a canine friend.
Leela (Bath Cats & Dogs Home)
Cheerful Leela is a super friendly girl who loves all people! She wants company most of the time and although she’s OK with most dogs, she wants to be the only pet at home. She loves walks and to snuggle up to you and offer you kisses! Please help Leela by sharing her page!
Wellington (Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, Bucks.)
Wellington needs calm, experienced owners who will make him feel secure. He is a sensitive boy and so a quiet, rural home with a secure garden is on his list of requirements. He’d like to be your only dog and needs someone at home with him most of the time.
Nancy (Saving Romanian Strays, fostered Scotland)
Dear Nancy is a bit of a snuggle monster on the quiet and loves human company. She’s looking for a quiet retirement home with maybe retired people who have time to give her lots of love. She is living with other dogs and gets on fine with them. She’s a very sweet, calm lady.
Storm (Furry Friends Animal Rescue, Surrey)
Storm has spent most of her life breeding and then moved around a lot. She has a lovely nature and deserves a quiet home with older/retired people or where children are 12+. Storm could live with a calm, larger male dog. Someone around most of the time to love her would be perfect.
Little clown Tucker! (Oldies Club, fostered Hampshire)
Not just a pretty face, Tucker is funny, loving and charismatic. One of his favourite games is catching water from the shower head! He’d love to live with other dogs, might be OK with cats, but is too bouncy for small children. He’s a playful, fuss-loving poppet. But, be warned, he’s good at opening fridges!
Max (Adopt A Dog North East, fostered Durham)
The Belgian Shepherd part of Max’s heritage makes him a loyal, intelligent and sensitive boy. He needs an owner who is with him most of the time, in a quiet area as he is frightened of loud bangs. He is cat-friendly but prefers to be your only dog and isn’t used to children.
Olly (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Cute little Olly is extremely bright! He loves playing with toys and learning new things, with the aid of treats and fuss. He wants to be an only pet in an adult only home and he loves having company most of the time. He’s a super fun and loyal companion!
Sally (Dogs Trust Merseyside, in a foster home)
Sally is a little sweetheart who just wants to be someone’s beloved companion. She was left for most of the day by herself previously and so she now craves company. Could Sal be your new pal?
Ollie (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Ollie is gorgeous, but he needs a quiet, experienced Shih Tzu home with someone around most of the time. He needs to be your only pet and can’t live with or have visiting children.
Roxy (Senior Staffy Club, fostered Birmingham)
Roxy is a happy girl who loves to be with her people, snuggled on the sofa. She can live with gentle children aged 6+ and is good with dogs so might be able to live with a calm friend. She’d like a home where she won’t be left too long.
Lilly (Senior Staffy Club, fostered West Midlands)
Lovely Lilly is looking for a comfortable retirement as an only pet with a loving family/owner. She’s good with other dogs she meets on walks but wants to be the centre of attention at home. She’s a sturdy, soppy lady!
Bluebell (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Have you had rescue dogs before and know the immense satisfaction of transforming their lives? Could pretty Bluebell be the next dog you help? She’s been in rescue almost all her life and desperately needs a proper home and people who are truly hers.
Lizzie (Loving Homes Dog Rescue, fostered Scottish Borders)
Lizzie is a delightful girl who can live with another calm dog and older children. She loves her walks, as well as playing with her ball and one of her favourite things is having a shower! Lizzie’s main priorities in life are comfort and company. 2/3/19 – Still waiting for a home
Lola (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Lola looks like butter wouldn’t melt, but she needs an experienced, committed owner who will heed Freshfields’ advice. She could live with a cat but cannot be around children. 2/3/19 – Still needs a home
Shrimp (Dunroamin K9 Rescue, fostered Yorkshire)
Shrimp has a sunny, sociable nature. He’d love to live with at least one other dog as he’s used to living with five! He enjoys home comforts and good company. He’ll be a wonderful addition to any doggy family. 3/3/19 – Shrimp still needs a home!
Noodles (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Noodles did find a new home but he so loved his new people that he panicked when they went out to work, so he had to return to Freshfields. He’s such a special boy that they still take him home for weekends, but Noodles needs a permanent home where he won’t need to be left on his own. 3/3/19 – Noodles is still waiting!
