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.
Max (Loving Homes Dog Rescue, fostered Orkney)
Max is a very handsome, mini English Bull Terrier who has so much love to give. He’s a happy, friendly and cuddly gent who would like a rural, adult and pet-free home. His favourite things are snoozing and his walks.
Chloe (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Chloe is a dinky little whirlwind of love – and who doesn’t need one of those in their life?! She’s good with dogs and might be able to live with cats. Chloe needs a home with someone around most, preferably all, of the time.
Aah, beautiful Bisto! (Oldies Club, fostered Northants)
Bisto is a wonderful girl who will make a gentle but playful companion. She’d like a home with people at home most of the day and where she will have fun walks and plenty of time to play fetch. Isn’t she pretty!
Mogli (AA Rescue & Rehab., Essex)
Mogli truly deserves a loving, retirement home after spending his life in a shelter. He’s gentle and loving though can be a little shy. Mogli is happy to live with another dog(s) and dog-savvy cats in an adult-only home. Can you help Mogli?
Mike (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Bright as a button Mike will do anything for a treat! He wants to be a companion dog to someone who’s at home a lot of the time and to be the only pet in an adult only home. He likes snuffly walks, games of fetch and chest scratchies.
Rocky (Stray2Me, fostered Hampshire)
Rocky is simply a happy and enthusiastic Beagle/Labrador Cross who lives for love and attention. He’s dog friendly and can live with children 10+. He walks well on the lead, travels well and is house-trained. Lovely boy that he is.
Oxo (All Animals Rescue and Rehome, Essex)
Oxo is completely blind, but is absolutely amazing and has a loving and happy nature. He enjoys running around outside in a safe space. He’d love to live with other dogs but can’t live with cats. Could you offer Oxo love cubed?
Bella (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Bella arrived in rescue with painful ears in a very bad state. This could be why she was intolerant of the young children in her home, but she must be rehomed to an adult home, preferably all female, as your only dog.
Toby (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Little Toby was kept outside in a kennel with no home comforts. He needs an adult home as your only dog. He is worried by rushed handling, so you will need to bear this in mind. Only the very best homes should apply for this short-legged lovely!
Markos (Animal Adoption International, Bucks)
Markos is a very handsome Pointer Cross rescued from a Greek shelter. He adores people and cuddles and would be a lovely companion in a pet-free home with people around a lot. He likes his exercise and walks well on the lead.
Marla (Safe Rescue, fostered Bucks.)
Marla is a beautiful but shy lady rescued from Romania. She needs a loving, calm home and encouragement to flourish. Another dog in the home and older children or adults only would be absolutely perfect.
Franky (RADAR Dog Rescue, South Yorkshire)
Big, beautiful, Greyhound cross Franky is looking for someone who likes cuddles and kisses as much as him. He doesn’t want to live with children or cats but another friendly dog of around his size would be fine, just as long as there’s enough love for him too!
Titch (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Cute Titch is an affectionate Terrier who loves people of all ages. He is rather an escape artist, so a loving home in a flat would be perfect. He needs to be the only pet in the home but would be a soppy lap-dog for someone who’s home most of the time.
Mosu (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Mosu is a sweet, older gentleman who would love a caring home after living in a Romanian shelter. He just likes to eat, sleep and potter along with a good sniff. He gets on with other dogs and is such an amiable chap.
Sheba & Shilo (Suki’s Canine Rescue Crew, fostered West Midlands)
Sheba and Shilo arrived in rescue in a terrible state, but with weeks of medical care, and the dedication of their foster carer, they are doing unbelievably well. Could you offer them a quiet home together where they will receive all the love and care they missed out on?
Loyal Little Jessie! (Oldies Club, fostered Cardiff)
21/7/20 – Little Jessie has proved very popular and we can’t accept any more applications for her. Please consider another oldie.
Ellie (Dogs Trust Newbury, Berkshire)
Dinky little Ellie is as sweet as she looks. She takes a while to get to know people and wants a quiet, adult only home as an only pet and not many visitors to fret about. She loves to keep busy with toys and walkies. She’s an adorable, cheerful companion!
Teddy (Safe rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Big, cuddly Teddy is looking for a peaceful home which he’d be happy to share with other nice dogs, preferably female. He needs to make up for missed time with lots of walks and comfy, snuggly naps. Plus, of course, plenty of fuss!
Terrier Buddy, needs home comforts! (Oldies Club, fostered Somerset)
29/7/2020 Adorable Buddy is now reserved to his foster carers as they cannot bear to part with him.
Buddy is a deaf and arthritic old boy who was an unclaimed stray. He wants a home with all the love and attention he craves as it seems that he has perhaps missed out on these things in the past. Could you offer old Buddy all the care he deserves?
Koshi (Love Underdogs, Essex)
16/7/20 – Koshi has started having visits from a potential adopter, so will hopefully be reserved soon!
This beautiful lady is looking for a peaceful home with thoughtful owners who will take account of her nervousness with new people. She’s great with other dogs but strangers who get too close make her uncomfortable. Once trust is built she’s a very affectionate, laid back and playful girl!
Dillon (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Darling Dillon will be a loving and loyal boy for his new family: kids aged 12+. He needs to be your only pet, ideally in a rural location, and needs a large garden to play in. You’ll need to be close to Hayle, Cornwall as NAWT require a few visits.
Prince (Kent Greyhound Rescue)
Soppy old Prince is a typical Lurcher boy who likes to lounge around… a lot! He’s good with other dogs he meets on walks but wants to be the only pet at home. He has poor sight and needs an adult-only home with experienced owners who will cuddle him often!
Pair of poppets, Bonnie & Daisy! (Oldies Club, fostered Northumberland)

Noodles (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Affectionate, playful Noodles is a wonderfully loving boy who comes with a unique offer. He can be adopted, fostered full-time or just fostered during the week. Perfect if you like weekends away! This big, old soppy-head is well worth your consideration.
Fluke (National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall)
Fluke is a beautiful boy who needs husky-experienced people. He needs a large secure garden and you will need to live in Cornwall so that you can visit him lots and he can get to know you before going home.
Skyla (Rescue Remedies, kennelled West Sussex)
Gorgeous Skyla is a very friendly and affectionate Labrador/Staffie Cross. She’s cuddly and undemanding and would make a really lovely companion. She has been used to living with other dogs and is fine to live with a similar, compatible one.
Spacey (Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, Buckinghamshire)
*Reserved*
Cute Spacey is an affectionate Lakeland Terrier Cross girl who is so sad to find herself back in rescue. She needs to be your only pet in a quiet home with a nice big garden for her to play in.

Funny-eared, waggy-tailed Branny is a playful and loving boy who just wants a quiet, adult-only home and a happy life of walkies and sofa snuggles. He likes a game of fetch and loves learning new things for treats. With those expressive ears, he’s probably the world’s best listener!

Blue the Collie would like to be your only pet and his ideal home will be in a nice quiet area. He’s a wonderful boy who thoroughly deserves to be happy again.
Gino (Greyhound Trust Nottingham)

Charlie (Poodles In Need, Oxford)
Charlie is a friendly, sunny-hearted chap who is good with other dogs and older children. He’s well behaved and bright as a button, as you’d expect from a Poodle. He still has lots of energy for walks and is adorable!
Jack (Poodles In Need, Lincolnshire)
Dinky, fluffy Jack is a delightful boy who wants to be the only pet at home, to be the apple of your eye. He can live with older children and loves walkies. A home where someone is around most of the time would suit this little poppet perfectly!
Suki (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
This spectacularly beautiful girl is looking for experienced owners who like walkies in quiet areas as much as she does! She wants to be an only pet in an adult only home. Once she’s bonded with you, Suki’s affectionate and amusing. She’ll be loyal to you forever!

This flying Jack Russell cross (sticking his tongue out for concentration) is Bentley! He’s looking for a quiet, adult only home as an only pet and owners who will be considerate of his shyness with strangers. He’s amusing, loving and cute!
Isaac (Animal Helpline, Cambridgeshire)
Not just a handsome face. Not just a fluffy teddy bear. Isaac is a steady, well behaved, walkies-loving boy who thrives on attention. He especially likes being brushed! He enjoys playing ball games yet has that Akita trait of always being dignified and beautiful… even when being silly!
Pepsi (Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, Buckinghamshire)
22/6/20 – Now reserved!
Pepsi is a sweet Dachshund mixture who is blind and has diabetes. She is very affectionate and needs a special family who will love her and look after her medical needs. Blind dogs are so wonderful and rewarding. Could you help Pepsi?
Roxy (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Roxy might not be classically good looking but she has a beautifully kind heart. She’s shy with new people but once she knows you she’s a soppy, affectionate old girl. If she meets a puppy, her big hearted nature makes her waggy tail a blur! Could you love her?
