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!

Chico (St. Giles Animal Centre, Somerset)
Chico is appealing for a special retirement home. He came into rescue with a poorly eye which had to be removed. He’s very people friendly, enjoys his cuddles and a good bum scratch! Chico is housetrained and could live with calm, sensible children and possibly a similar dog too.
Duke (Starfish Dog Rescue, fostered Gloucestershire)
30/11/2021 **Reserved**
Duke is a cute, loving, little Shih Tzu Cross who is looking for an active home. He would prefer an adult home but is fine with visiting children. Duke could possibly live with a gentle bitch but is wary of males. He would like to be your best friend and companion.
Meg and Ralph (Irish Retriever Rescue, fostered Scotland)
Meg and Ralph are a gorgeous pair of bonded Golden Retrievers looking for a cosy retirement home together where someone is around most of the time. They are very good with people and other dogs but prefer not to live with cats. Meg and Ralph are irresistible!
Patch (RSPCA Essex South, Southend & District Branch)
Patch’s joy is irrepressible! He loves zoomies in a field, getting fusses and he especially loves meeting people. He would like a home with adults (perhaps teenagers) and no other pets, simply because it’s unknown how he is with other pets indoors. He wants good company, walkies and love!
Rikki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Rikki is a large character in a small body. He is loyal and loving with those he trusts and will make you laugh every day. He wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home and he wants toys, good company and walkies galore. A Terrier lover’s dream dog!
Bailey (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincolnshire)
Bailey is a handsome Springer Spaniel who gets worried with new people and is looking for an adult, patient home to bring out his affectionate and playful side. He would benefit from having another canine companion to show him just how great life can be.
Roxy (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Roxy is a Lakeland/Patterdale Cross lady who is very friendly, affectionate and full of life. She would like a quiet, pet-free home with people who are around most of the time as she loves company. She’s a sweetheart.

Wendy (Stray2Me, fostered Sussex)

Sweet, Sunny Skye! (Oldies Club, fostered Wiltshire)
28/10/2021: No more applications please! Skye is very popular and has lots of lovely offers to choose from!
Sunny Skye is a gentle, loving, inquisitive and happy Beagle/Collie Cross. She currently lives with another dog in her foster home but, ideally, she would probably prefer a pet-free, adult household. She enjoys her walks, loves outings in the car and is altogether a rather chilled-out lady.
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!

Bichon Beauties, Millie and Poppy (Oldies Club, fostered Hampshire)

Panda (East Anglia Dog Rescue, Ipswich)
Panda is a happy, bouncy, affectionate girl who is friendly with everyone! She gets on with other dogs and even cats but will take their toys and food so needs to be an only pet. She can live with teenagers and wants company, activities and fuss!
Don (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This cuddly, chunky gentleman is looking for a home where someone is around a lot of the time. He only needs short, plodding walks. He wants to be the only dog at home but could live with cats. Visiting children or resident teenagers would be fine. Don is goofily and adorable!
Teddie (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Teddie is such a lovely, cuddly Pomeranian boy who is blind. Therefore, he’s looking for an experienced owner in a calm, loving home as the only pet and where any children are 14+. Life in a semi-rural area with access to a garden would be perfect for this gorgeous boy.
Bella & Spot (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Spot and Bella are as sweet as they look and must have their quota of fuss every day. They want to be the only pets in an adult-only home (older teenagers are fine) and they want company most of the time. They love toys, treats, walkies and each other.
Hector (RSPCA Millbrook, Surrey)
30/11/2021 Gorgeous Hector is so happy that he’s now been adopted.
Oscar (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Winning over Oscar’s heart is like winning the jackpot! When he trusts you he dotes on you and is a cheerful, loving companion. He wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home. Most of all, he wants to feel safe and loved by that one special person.
Molly (Holbrook Animal Rescue, West Sussex)
Dear Molly loves attention from people once she gets to know them and will show you the fun, playful side to her personality. She enjoys the company of dogs but would be best suited as the only pet in a quiet, adult home experienced with rescue dogs.
Hope (Stray2Me, fostered Worcestershire)
Hope has blossomed into a truly lovely, goofy girl who laps up cuddles following a hard life on the streets of Romania. She’s living with other dogs and a cat but would enjoy being the only pet for all the attention. Hope has a zest for life and makes such a loving and loyal companion.
Jay (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton)
This adorable little boy is easy to love but has special requirements when it comes to his care. He needs a home with hard flooring as carpets set off his allergies. He wants to be an only pet, have lots of fuss, eye drops and skin cream daily…and nice knitwear!
Jackson (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Do you like walks and have lots of toys but no one to play with them? Then Jackson is the boy for you! He wants a quiet home, someone who’s around most of the time and to know that he’s safe and loved. He especially likes to fall asleep on your lap.
