Oscar has been affected by events in the past which have left him very nervous. He has a special bond with one man at Freshfields which gives hope that he could replicate this bond with a new owner. Oscar needs a child-free home with a gentle, confident owner who is home most of the day.

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.
Alfie & Rocky (Ark Animal Rescue, Lincolnshire coast)
Alfie & Rocky are the best of friends and need a home together. Before you rush to contact the Ark, ask yourself if you could happily and kindly deal with toileting accidents as little Rocky has a health issue leading to poor bladder control, and Alfie also has accidents. They are wonderful, friendly dogs.
Thor (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
If you want a doting companion who’s easy on the eye and doesn’t need long walks, than look no further. Thor needs a relaxing retirement without having to deal with other pets, children or much in the way of comings and goings. He’s a home-body and a soppy-head!
Marlon – midfield maestro! (Oldies Club, fostered Ceredigion)
12/5/21 – Marlon is now reserved!
Who’d guess that footballing Marlon is completely blind? He needs a quiet home with a calm canine friend but no cats or young children. Marlon loves slow walks, lots of sniffing, and snuggles on the sofa. You’ll need a Marlon-sized space on your bed: Marlon says that’s non-negiotable!
Jay (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton)
Little Jay has been loved and cared for, but is hairless due to health issues and allergies. He needs a caring, committed owner who is around all day. He needs to be your only pet. Jay needs a home with hard flooring as carpets are a problem for his allergies.
