Rufus is a big, strong Labrador who loves his toys SO much! In fact, he loves them SO much that he will only be rehomed to an adult-only home. He’s fine with other dogs if there are no toys around, but does need to be your only pet.

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.
Buster (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Buster has the wiggliest bum! When he sees his carers he runs for his blanket and stands with it, like a puppy, presenting it. Handsome Buster would like a home as your only dog but can live with children aged 13+.
Harley and Sadie (On the Way Home Rescue, Hampshire)
Father and daughter, Harley and Sadie, are loving, chocolate Labradors. They are looking for a retirement foster/permanent home together. They love playing around and certainly enjoy a fuss plus down-time to snooze. Harley and Sadie are so easy-going and just adorable.
Amie (SOKS, kennelled Cornwall)
Amie has survived who-knows-what and come through it a loving, sweet-natured, loyal dog. She wants to be the only pet in a home where any young people are aged 16+. She desperately wants to be out of kennels and in a comfy foster or forever home full of love!
Fun-loving Lacey! (Oldies Club, fostered Bedfordshire)
Sweetheart Lacey is looking for a relaxing retirement home with a good sized garden because she doesn’t need walks but she does love ball games! She could possibly live with teenagers as long as she gets enough nap time. She cannot abide cats and she enjoys getting all available fuss!
Bjorn (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Happy, playful, affectionate and great with other dogs, Bjorn is an all round star. He needs countryside walks and owners experienced with large breeds. He’d love living with another dog or two but no children or cats. He loves agility training, ball wrangling and just being with his people.
Maze (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)
Maze the super intelligent Collie cross is full of affection for everyone who’s nice to him. He’s wary of other dogs and prefers them to keep their distance so that he doesn’t have to engage. Agile, loving and bright as a supernova, could Maze be your new best friend?
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!
Snow (Romanian Rescue Appeal, fostered Wirral)
Snow is as lovely as she looks! She’s affectionate and walks beautifully on the lead. She doesn’t want to deal with cats or children in her home but she does want another nice dog or two. Could you give this gentle soul the relaxing retirement she deserves?
