Don is a big friendly boy who loves to have company and attention. He’d like an owner who is used to large dogs. Don would be best as your only dog but could live with children aged 12+ and has potential to live with a cat.
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.
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.
Ball-hoarding Coco (Oldies Club, fostered East Sussex)
This beautiful lady is very definite about certain things. If you throw a ball for her to chase, she will keep it and expect you to then throw another. She’s OK with most dogs outside but wants to be an only pet. She’s affectionate, funny, stubborn and loves walkies!
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!
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
Jay (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton)
Little Jay has been loved and cared for, but is hairless due to health issues and allergies. He needs a caring, committed owner who is around all day. He needs to be your only pet. Jay needs a home with hard flooring as carpets are a problem for his allergies.
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!
Lucky Diddy Dotty! (Oldies Club, fostered Edinburgh)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
Dotty was found on a motorway and luckily rescued. She needs a quiet home with company most of the time and walks to suit the mood she’s in on a particular day. A walk in the evening will tire her and help her settle better at night.
