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.
Maisie & Koffie (RSPCA Essex South, Southend & District Branch)
Maisie and Koffie are the best of friends and need a new home together after their owner was evicted. Good with children, they could live with ones old enough to respect an older dog’s needs. Could you help Maisie and Koffie?
Sadie (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Scotland)
Quite the perfect lady, Sadie is gentle and loving, adores children and is currently living with other dogs and cats. She’s great on the lead and house-trained. All she wants is a loving home where she would make a lovely addition.
Rose (Private Rehoming, Wiltshire)
Rose was rescued from a horrible life in Egypt. She is a very affectionate girl who is housetrained and low maintenance with regards to exercise. Could you offer Rose lots of cuddles and a nice sunny garden to relax in?
Winston (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Wise and affectionate Winston is looking for an adult only retirement home where he will get plenty of belly rubs and cuddles, have short walks and long periods of not very much at all, in comfort. He’s easy-going and excellent company!
Teona (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Look at Teona’s adorable little short legs! This affectionate, cheerful girl wants a female owner and would be happy living with a friendly male dog. She’s a strong little character, with strong little legs! 8/5/19 – Teona still needs a home
Haro (Isle Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Haro is an affectionate Lab Cross who loves people and snuggles on the sofa. He’d like to be the companion of an active older person, or in a family with older children. He wants to be your only pet but is OK with dogs out and about. 8/5/19 – Haro still needs a home
Colin (Animal Helpline, Cambridgeshire)
What a dutiful, beautiful boy Colin is! He’s utterly devoted to his people and friendly with everyone else too. He wants to be the only pet in an adult only home. He likes a game of fetch and really loves a fuss. He-is-a-big-soppy-BOY! Yes-he-IS!
8/4/19 – Colin 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. 5/5/19 – Shrimp still needs a home!
