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.
Jessy (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Jessy would love to have a quiet, relaxed, forever home after sadly wasting most of her life in shelters. She’s a loving, friendly girl who enjoys her walks and gets on with dogs who are not too young and bouncy. It’s time she had the good life.
Fran (Active Animals Rescue & Rehab., fostered Inverness)
Fran is a beautiful, ginger and white Foxhound Cross who loves people and a good fuss. She’s spritely and enjoys her walks. She can live with dog-savvy children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Fran would be a marvellous companion.
Good boy, Boi! (Oldies Club, fostered Somerset)
This wonderful example of Lurchery loveliness is Boi. He’s a sweet and friendly chap who gets on well with dogs out and about and likes children. He’d love a home where nice walks are on offer and with a squidgy sofa to stretch out on.
Just look at Jasper! (Oldies Club, fostered Hertfordshire)
Saluki cross Jasper is a delight to behold. He is a calm and loyal boy who would love to be your adored only pet in a quiet, relaxed home.
Lady & Tramp (Rain Rescue, S. Yorkshire)
Lady and Tramp are a gentle pair of Lurchers who depend on each other for reassurance. They’re looking for a relaxing home with love, peace, only short walks and plenty of time to nap or just lounge around, being beautiful!
Brian (Kent Greyhound Rescue)
Typical Greyhound, Brian is rather a lazy lad who enjoys snoozing the day away with the occasional walk thrown in. He loves people and is affectionate, but can be left with no problem. Brian would like to be the only pet and can live with older children.
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.
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. 30/6/19 – Troy still needs a home
Emily (Kent Greyhound Rescue, fostered Kent)

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! 10/6/19 – 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. 10/6/19 – 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? 10/6/19 – Chuckie still needs a home!
