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.
Rosco (Safe Rescue, fostered Lincolnshire)

Pretty Springy Milly! (Oldies Club, fostered Lincolnshire)
Milly is a very lively Springer lady who would love a home with children to play with. She’s good with dogs, and possibly cats too. Milly doesn’t like to be left on her own and will bark to let you know – Milly’s deaf though so she thinks she’s only whispering!
Bronx (Senior Staffy Club, kennelled Worcester)
Brindly Bronx is a super staffy lad who gets on well with dogs on walks and can live with children old enough to have a game of football with him. He’s not used to being on his own, so needs someone home virtually all the time, until he gets used to gradually being left.
Zoli (via Hungarian Vizsla Welfare, Stirlingshire)
Zoli is gorgeous, charming and bright. He found a home recently but family circumstances suddenly changed and Zoli can only stay until the end of June. It’s no fault of Zoli’s, and kennels will be so stressful for him. Do you have a very calm, adult home with Vizsla experience to offer Zoli?
Zak (Willowdale Farm, Cambs/Norfolk border)
Zak is a sweet-natured, gentle boy whose idea of heaven is pottering around, helping you with chores and gardening. He’s great with other dogs but will chase cats. Could you offer Zak a home where he will be able to spend most of the day with you?

Tiny, lovely Tiger-Lily! (Oldies Club, fostered Oxfordshire)
White-muzzled, fuzzy-eyebrowed Tiger-Lily is a real little character! She drags her bed around until she finds the best spot, she walks calmly past other dogs but will tell them off if they get too close and she’s trained her foster carers to play catch with each other, so she can have fun watching them! Please share her page!
Jessie (Cheltenham Animal Shelter)
You can rely on Jessie to follow you around in case you need his help. He likes a bit of fuss but isn’t demanding. It’s thought he won’t necessarily need walks, just a secure garden. Jessie’s only ambition in life is to be your stalwart companion!

Sheba (Arundawn Dog Rescue, fostered West Sussex)
Sheba looks a bit like Winnie-the-Pooh…only she’s sad at the moment. She’s starting to cheer up in foster care with some nice children and no other pets, but she really needs her own special someone and a forever home to be completely happy again. Could you love lovely Sheba?
Mitchell (Boxer and Bully Saviours, fostered South Yorkshire)

Coco (Foal Farm Animal Rescue, Kent)

Rico (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Adorable Akita Rico is very loyal and his favourite thing is spending time with his lovely humans. His perfect home would be adult only and pet-free so he can have all your love to himself. A garden to potter around and the occasional short walk would be an added bonus.
Lizzie (Loving Homes Dog Rescue, fostered Scottish Borders)
