Sweet little Alfie, a Whippet Cross, was found as a stray. He only needs short walks and will enjoy a nice garden to potter in. He’d like a quiet home where he is your only pet. Could you offer him love and home comforts?
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.
Sweet and Gentle Sam (Oldies Club, fostered Norfolk)
Sam is the sweetest, gentlest boy and everyone that meets him adores him. He is a joy to take for walks and is good in the car. Sam needs a home where he can be with someone all of the time. He would enjoy living with a relaxed canine friend.
Bruce (NAWT, Berkshire)
Beautiful Bruce was found as a stray. He is such a sweet boy who is enjoying being groomed regularly and eating well in order to reach his ideal weight. Could you offer Bruce a home and lots of love?
Prince (Kent Greyhound Rescue)
Cuddle monster Prince is a lovely, steady old boy. He still loves his walks and enjoys meeting other dogs when he’s out. He needs a peaceful home as an only pet, to have all his human’s affection. He’s a restful, noble, soppy old sausage! Please help Prince by sharing his page!
Shire and Amie (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Shire the Lurcher and his best pal Amie the Mastiff x Cattle Dog, are a dream pair whose carers have really fallen for them. They should slot into family life easily and can live with children aged 11+. Gorgeous!
Alfie (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Due to a bad early experience, beautiful Alfie is absolutely terrified of young children and urgently needs a quiet, child-free home where he can relax and enjoy life again. He is good with dogs and is such a well-behaved, sweet boy.
Harry (Stray Dogs Sanctuary, Devon)
Harry is a happy, handsome boy whose tail is always wagging. He would enjoy a family home with children aged 8+, but his main requirement is a home where he will spend plenty of time snuggled up next to you, as cuddles are his speciality!
Alfie (Greyhound Trust Nottingham)
17/5/19 – Alfie is now reserved after being spotted on the Oldies Club website – fingers crossed for him!
After 4 happy years with his family, Alfie must wonder why he is back in kennels. He is a calm, gentle and well-behaved boy who loves a cuddle and deserves to be in a happy home once again.
Troy (Foal Farm Animal Rescue, Kent)
Rescued from Macau in China, Troy is a wonderful, comical Greyhound who absolutely loves life. He could live with another Sighthound but no small pets, furries or young children. Troy’s a smashing, affectionate boy who truly deserves a loving home.
Emily (Kent Greyhound Rescue, fostered Kent)
Sweet Emily was raced and then bred from, living her life in kennels with no creature comforts, and yet within a day at her foster home she was roaching on the sofa. Could this talented lady be your new best friend? 11/5/19 – Emily is still waiting
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Franky has so much love to give that everyone who knows him finds it incredible he’s been waiting in kennels for 2 years! He’s super affectionate, obedient and good with other dogs his size. He’s available to adopt or foster, as he desperately needs a proper home! 5/5/19 – Franky 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!
Chuckie (Greyhound Gap, Staffordshire)
Chuckie is a loyal Lurcher x Shepherd boy who gets overlooked because he is older, and yet he doesn’t act like an old dog at all. He likes children and he could live with a mature female dog. Chuckie’s so fed up of waiting in kennels – is he waiting for you? 3/5/19 – Chuckie still needs a home!
