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.
Boomer (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Boomer collapsed on the street from heatstroke but happily has now fully recovered and is looking for a quiet foster/forever home. He’d like a garden to potter around and could live with children aged 12+. Boomer is okay with dogs outside but would like to be the only pet.
Soppy Staffie Alfie! (Oldies Club, fostered Essex)
Alfie is an adorable Staffie Cross who is loving, playful and likes lots of attention. He’s fine with dogs out and about but would suit a pet-free home for all the love he so enjoys. Alfie is fine with older, dog-savvy children as he can be strong. Have you got enough love for Alfie?
Bruno (Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Gloucestershire)
Poor Bruno was severely underweight when he arrived in rescue but he’s doing well now. He’s a real softy who loves fuss and attention. Could you offer Bruno a nice quiet home where he’ll be your only pet? He deserves lots of love and TLC.
Tye (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)
Tye is a lovely old boy who gets on well with most other dogs and loves walking with his friends. He likes short walks with lots of sniffs and the odd ball game. He wants a peaceful, adult-only home and he loves sofa snuggles. He also loves toys and treats!
Chester Bulldog – “Oh yes”! (Oldies Club, fostered South Wales)
Chester has a fabulous Bulldog character and will be a fun friend for his new owners. He doesn’t want to be around young children, likes to keep away from other dogs, and he will chase cats. Chester loves a game of find-the-treat!
Chyna (Lurcher Link, West Yorkshire)
Beautiful Chyna is a big strong girl who’s waited far too long for a home. She is loving and obedient, but very powerful and will easily knock over a frail person when she gets giddy, so needs a home with sturdy adults only, as your only pet.
Winston (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)
Winston is basically Winnie-The-Pooh in dog form. He’s steady, plodding, cuddly and loves treats. He gets on with other dogs but wants to be the only pet at home. He’s gentle and easy-going, wanting very little from life…just walkies, comfort, food and love!
Missy (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Missy is a sweet girl who is fine with relaxed dogs and could live with a calm male dog of a similar age. She might need further training so you’ll need to be happy to help Missy settle in her own time. She could live with teenagers but not cats.
Jake (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Sweet Jake arrived in rescue via an RSPCA inspector. He’s a lovely lad who is great with children but needs a home as your only pet. Do you have dog experience and the love and patience to allow Jake to settle and give him any training he might need?
Champ (RSPCA Macclesfield, fostered Cheshire)
Champ the Wonder Dog is a soppy Staffy lad who offers an abundance of love and affection to everyone. He’s mad about his walks and also sitting at the window watching the world go by. He needs to be the only pet in the home for all that lovely attention and cuddling.
Hughie (Senior Staffy Club, kennelled Stoke-on-Trent)
Hughie is a super friendly boy who loves cuddles and tummy rubs! He’s very bright and obsessed with food so it’s easy to teach him new tricks. He wants to be an only pet in an adult (maybe with teenagers) home with a good garden and he wants lots of walkies!
Kaizer (On the Way Home Dog Rescue, Northampton)
Kaizer is very much in tune with his people and is so gentle around children and the elderly. He might push his luck unless there’s a confident head of household though! He’s scared of dogs so needs further socialisation and training.
Charlie (On the Way Home Dog Rescue, Derby)
Charlie is a lovely lad who enjoys being around people and other dogs. He loves walks and adventures and still has plenty of energy. Could you offer this fun boy a fab home?
Nico and Nala (On the Way Home Rescue, Wales)
Nico and Nala are a pair of American Bulldogs needing a loving home together. They are friendly, clever and just the sweetest doggy duo ever. They are good with all people and dogs but not used to cats. Nico and Nala are two wonderful characters!
Barney (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Barney has a lot of love to give to the right person. He needs an owner with experience of nervous dogs as he’s a bit of a worrier. He’s lost weight with the stress of kennels so a permanent or foster home where he can relax is now urgent.
Tyson (RSPCA Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire)
Tyson is a sweet, soppy and loving Staffy boy who would love to be in his own home again. He’s looking for experienced owners, a couple of nice walks a day and lots of affection. Tyson needs to be the only pet and can live with teenage children.
Bruce (RSPCA Crewe, Nantwich and District Branch)
Bruce is a friendly, affectionate chap, looking for an adult home as your only pet. He’s partially deaf but you’ll just need to use visual cues and be vigilant to keep him safe. You’ll need a garden and access to quiet walks where Bruce won’t meet lots of dogs.
Tess (Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, fostered Lancashire)
Tess is a lovely little lady. She’s affectionate, doting and ever so good! She gets on with other dogs outside but wants to be an only pet at home. She could live with older children and wants company most of the time. She’s a steady, loving cutie pie!
Miley (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Miley is a sweet and happy girl who loves to be made a fuss of. She is looking for a home where she can enjoy a relaxing home life and go out for pleasant walks. She might be 12 but she still loves to get out and about!
Buster (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Buster has the wiggliest bum! When he sees his carers he runs for his blanket and stands with it, like a puppy, presenting it. Handsome Buster would like a home as your only dog but can live with children aged 13+.
Buddy (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Buddy lived on the streets with his owner for 8 years and not much fazes him. He enjoys a gentle stroll and loves a tennis ball. Although generally OK with dogs, he’d like to be your only one, but he can live with older children.
Mandy (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Surrey)
Darling Mandy is only up for short, gentle walks these days. She wants to be an only pet and for her walkies to be in quiet areas with lots of interesting smells. She’s ever such a good girl for a treat and loves cuddles and kisses!
Bruno (Stray2Me, fostered Oxfordshire)
Bruno is such an affectionate and cuddly Staffie who’s very well-behaved and enjoys his walks. He can live with older children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. What a lovely boy!
Tess (Second Chance GR Rescue, fostered South London)
Tess was rescued from Romania. She is a sweet girl who is well-behaved in the home, but needs to get to know new people gradually. She likes other dogs and is learning to have good manners around them. Could you offer her a quiet, child-free home?
Bond (Rescue Remedies, West Sussex)

Zion (Rescue Remedies, kennelled Gatwick)
Gentle old Zion just wants to sleep in comfort, preferably in the sunshine. He likes a short plod and snuffle followed by extensive snuggles and interspersed with treats. He wants an adult-only home so his peace is assured and he really needs to have soft furnishings in his life again!
Betty (Rescue Remedies, West Sussex)
Betty is a very pretty, petite Staffy girl. She’s a super-friendly, fun and loyal companion who needs an owner with experience of dogs with protective natures. Do you have a child-free, pet-free home to offer beautiful Betty?
Oscar (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Winning over Oscar’s heart is like winning the jackpot! When he trusts you he dotes on you and is a cheerful, loving companion. He wants to be an only pet in an adult-only home. Most of all, he wants to feel safe and loved by that one special person.
