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!

Toby (RSPCA Westmorland Branch, Cumbria)

Gentle, soppy Zeebo is a super friendly boy who could live with a calm dog, older children, and a hamster! He’s very sad right now as he has returned to Freshfields as he didn’t get on with his new family’s cat. He needs a calm, caring home and regular gentle walks.
Princess (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Surrey)
