Bugsy and Tally were found in a terrible state. They are adorable lurchers looking for an adult home where they will be your only pets. A secure back garden where they can have a potter and the odd zoom around is essential for these darlings.

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!

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.

Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Suki is a lovely lady but typical of her breed she’s as stubborn as she is amusing and loyal. She wants an adult only home as an only pet, owners she can dote on and a sofa to look splendid on. Is that too much to ask?

Sasha (Wellingborough Dog Welfare, Northants)

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.
Dillon (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
He’s cheerful, loving and lollopy. Dillon is a lovely boy who can live with teenagers but wants to be the only pet at home. He needs experienced owners who will continue his reward-based training around other dogs and live in Cornwall. He loves toys, zoomies and cuddles!
Maud (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)

Nikita (Carla Lane Animals In Need, Liverpool)
Nikita loves chicken, toys and a fuss (but only when she says so!). She’s good with other dogs on walks but won’t share her home (i.e. toys) with other pets or children. She’s a lady who knows her own mind and needs an experienced owner with a sense of humour.
Fluke (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
This stunning Husky boy needs experienced owners with an active lifestyle because there’s no such thing as a walkies that’s too long! It would suit him best to have a fairly rural home, with no other pets or children and it needs to be in Cornwall.
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorrkshire)
Everybody loves Franky because he’s such a kissy, cuddly, fun-loving lad! He gets on well with other dogs and could live with one, but not cats (fun to chase) or children (easily bowled over). Franky loves life! If only he had a human of his own to share it with…

Lucky Diddy Dotty! (Oldies Club, fostered Edinburgh)
24/11/2020 *RESERVED*
