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!

Mogwei (Foal Farm Animal Rescue, Kent)
Mogwei is a very friendly Pug who’s depressed in kennels and needs an extra special, local home. He has intervertebral disc disease which means he loses the use of his back legs.
