Shep is a handsome, older gentleman and he still has a lot of life, love and laughs to give. He adores people, loves walks and any new adventures. He would thrive with an older person/couple in a home where any children are 12+ and could live with a calm, confident dog, but no cats please.
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.
Ingrid (Stray2Me, fostered Suffolk)
Despite having had a terrible life, sweet Ingrid just loves people and is a happy and friendly girl now enjoying the comforts of domestic life. She likes to play with the dogs and cats in her foster home and must be rehomed with another dog.
Cora (Stray2Me, fostered Staffordshire)
Cora is a happy, friendly, waggy-tailed lady who would like to live in a cosy, retirement home with other dogs for company. She can also live with cats. Cora is housetrained and settles well at nights. A home in time for Christmas would be perfect.
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!
Lovely ladies Sheriff & Lacey (Oldies Club, fostered Beds.)
These cuties are sisters with a lot of love to give! They want a quiet home with no other pets. They could live with older children but they do like lots of rest. They don’t need walks but they do need a garden, for Lacey’s ball games and Sheriff’s snuffling!
Penny and Kujo (Canine Allsorts Dog Rescue, kennelled Yorkshire)
Penny and Kujo are a bonded pair looking for a quiet retirement home together. They don’t ask for much and are happy to live with dogs, cats and children of all ages. What a lovely couple they are!
Bjorn (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Bjorn is a big, happy and affectionate boy who absolutely loves being around other dogs. He is unsure of some men so needs walks in quieter areas. An adult-only, countryside home, with people who are experienced with big dogs, is what he needs.
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?
