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.
Harold (All Dogs Matter, North London)
Gentle Harold is a sweet Staffie Cross boy who was found sadly as a stray. He’s looking for a loving home with an experienced owner and a garden to enjoy. Harold is fine with dogs outside but would prefer to be the only pet and can live with children aged 14+.
Ronnie (Jerry Green Dog Rescue, South Lincolnshire)
Ronnie loves to sunbathe in the garden and snuggle up on the sofa with you for a bit of TV watching. He needs someone home most of the time as he isn’t used to being left. Walks in nice quiet areas where he won’t meet lots of dogs are also his dream.
Ben Whiskers, leggy Patterdale (Oldies Club, fostered Northumberland)
Sweet Ben is no trouble at all as long he’s had a good walk at a nice fast pace. He needs a home where he can be with someone all of the time. Ben can live with older children but needs to be your only dog. Oh and he has fabulous facial hair!
Sweetpea (Rocky Road Rescue, fostered Arbroath)
Sweetpea loves cuddles and walks. He needs an adult-only home where he will be given boundaries and receive further training. He can live with dogs his own size and also friendly cats.
Lily (Wonky Pets Rescue, fostered Derbyshire)
Little Lily is a Terrier/Chihuahua Cross who just adores being with men … sorry, ladies won’t get the same fuss! She fit, active and walks well on the lead. She’s okay with other dogs outside but wants to be the only one in the home, though could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat.
Jack & Missy (Freshfields Animal Rescue, fostered Liverpool)
Jack the Jack Russell and Missy the Staffy are an adorable pair of best friends. They need a new home together where they will have your company most of the day. They’d like an adult home where they are your only pets. Aren’t they simply gorgeous?!
Jackson (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Do you like walks and have lots of toys but no one to play with them? Then Jackson is the boy for you! He wants a quiet home, someone who’s around most of the time and to know that he’s safe and loved. He especially likes to fall asleep on your lap.
Caring, cuddly Skye (Oldies Club, fostered Kent)
Skye ‘says thank-you’ when you have walked or fed her. She is so appreciative of the simple things, having been taken to the vet by her owner to be put to sleep. Could you love and care for Skye as much as she will love and care for you?
Oscar (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
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.
Banjo (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Banjo will be the perfect companion for someone who lives on their own and loves walks! He’s good with other dogs when out and about but wants to be an only pet. He takes a while to bond but when he does it’s very strong and he’s super soppy!
Mint and Pepper (Stray2Me, fostered Somerset)
*RESERVED*
Cute Jack Russell duo, Mint and Pepper, are sisters who need a new, loving home together due to their owner’s health. They are very friendly and good with people. They settle well with other dogs and enjoy a walk, especially chasing squirrels, followed by a good nap. Prospective adopters must live within 1 hour of Taunton.
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.
Lucky Diddy Dotty! (Oldies Club, fostered Edinburgh)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
Dotty was found on a motorway and luckily rescued. She needs a quiet home with company most of the time and walks to suit the mood she’s in on a particular day. A walk in the evening will tire her and help her settle better at night.
