Beautiful Goga is looking for the loving home she deserves after a hard life in Romania. She is very friendly but needs time to regain her confidence and realise that there’s a lovely life for her out there. She’s fine with other dogs but would like a peaceful, retirement home to enjoy for the rest of her life.
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.
Vulpes (Saving Romanian Strays, fostered Scotland)
Sweet natured Vulpes gets on so well with all people and dogs. She’s very friendly and loves lots of fuss, rather having a cuddle than a walk. She walks nicely on the lead (and needs the exercise to trim her waistline). All she wants is to be showered with love.
Rudi (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Fife)
Rudi is so happy to be in a foster home after years in a cold, heartless shelter. He has a tail that wags like a non-stop windmill and is described as an elderly gent with a cheeky grin and a heart of gold. He’s fine with the dogs in his foster home and now just needs a forever home.
Robin (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Happy Robin is a beautiful boy who is hoping for a relatively active home as he loves to go for nice walks and explore the world. He enjoys canine company and has a cheeky little side to his character. Bless him!
Little clown Tucker! (Oldies Club, fostered Hampshire)
Not just a pretty face, Tucker is funny, loving and charismatic. One of his favourite games is catching water from the shower head! He’d love to live with other dogs, might be OK with cats, but is too bouncy for small children. He’s a playful, fuss-loving poppet. But, be warned, he’s good at opening fridges!
Lyra (Love Underdogs, Essex)
Lovely Lyra has really blossomed since coming to the UK. She is a clever girl who likes to use her brain and she is affectionate and loving as well. With her polar-bear-like coat, she promises to be your loyal and cuddly best friend!
Roxy (Dogs Trust Merseyside)
Gentle Roxy is a wonderful girl who gets on well with other dogs. She is very unhappy in kennels. Could you offer Roxy a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy life again?
Jake (Dogs Trust Merseyside, in a foster home)
11/4/19 – Jake is reserved
Jake has sadly lost his friend Marble the Lurcher. He’s now in a foster home but needs a forever home ASAP. He is a very active, fun and affectionate boy who loves a snuggle on your lap. Could you offer him a home and lots of companionship?
Bailey – female (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Bailey is a beautiful 8-year-old girl who is sad to be at Freshfields due to the ill-health of her beloved owner. She is a friendly, sweet-natured girl who can live with older, sensible children.
Fergie (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Plymouth)
Fergie is a very friendly, gentle, quiet and sociable lady who loves a cuddle and snuggle on the sofa. She’s in foster care as an only dog but is fine with dogs outside. She’s used to children over 8 years and would prefer a cat-free home. She’s a gorgeous girl.
AJ (Pawprints To Freedom, fostered Somerset)
AJ is loving life in his foster home and they can’t praise him enough. He’s just enjoying life, his walks and is excellent on the lead. He loves other dogs and can live with older children. AJ will make an amazing family dog in the cosy, calm, forever home he deserves.
Olly (Dogs Trust Newbury, in a foster home)
Cute little Olly is extremely bright! He loves playing with toys and learning new things, with the aid of treats and fuss. He wants to be an only pet in an adult only home and he loves having company most of the time. He’s a super fun and loyal companion!
Sally (Dogs Trust Merseyside, in a foster home)
Sally is a little sweetheart who just wants to be someone’s beloved companion. She was left for most of the day by herself previously and so she now craves company. Could Sal be your new pal?
Bips and Dexter (NAWT, Berkshire)
Bips and Dexter are a very handsome pair of Rough Collies looking for an adult, pet-free home. They enjoy lots of fuss, playing together and are a very sweet duo. They don’t require a lot of exercise and can be left. Aren’t they lovely?
Rocky & Ruby (Bath Cats and Dogs Home, in foster)
Rocky and Ruby are a cuddly, amusing duo who play tug with a toy between them. They can live with children of any age and need only short, quiet walks, or just playtime at home if you have a nice big garden.
Ella (Animal Helpline, Cambridgeshire)
This gorgeous lady is looking for a quiet, adult only home with a canine companion for reassurance. Ella is a cautious, shy girl but once she knows and trusts you, she’s very affectionate. Her favourite thing is exploring nature in good company.
Dave (Friends of Akitas Trust, Notts.)
Dave is a gentle, cheerful boy who could live with children. More fuss for Dave! He loves getting out for walks where he’s friendly with humans and typically aloof with other dogs. He has the softest coat imaginable!
Zac (Friends of Akitas Trust, Notts.)
Zac is a friendly and loving boy. On walks, he’s good on the lead and calm around other dogs. He’d prefer to be an only dog at home. He’s been through some trials but is now read to love and be loved!
Louis (Poodles In Need, Lincolnshire)
Louis is a young at heart miniature poodle looking for a quiet home with an experienced poodle person. He loves his walks and is good on the lead. Would Louis fit on your lap?
Dexter (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)
Loveable Dexter is super friendly with everyone! He likes a cuddle when he knows you and will graciously accept a treat and a tickle from anyone. He wants to be the only pet at home but could live with older children. He’s a happy, playful, biddable shnookums!
Ollie (Freshfields Animal Rescue, Liverpool)
Ollie is gorgeous, but he needs a quiet, experienced Shih Tzu home with someone around most of the time. He needs to be your only pet and can’t live with or have visiting children.
Emily (Kent Greyhound Rescue, fostered Kent)
Sweet Emily was raced and then bred from, living her life in kennels with no creature comforts, and yet within one day at her foster home she was roaching on the sofa. Could this talented lady be your new best friend?
Teona (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Some people think Teona is strange looking due to her very short legs, but one person’s strange is another’s adorable! This affectionate, cheerful girl wants a female owner and would be happy living with a friendly male dog. She’s a strong little character, with strong little legs!
Haro (Isle Rescue, Doncaster, Yorkshire)
Happy Haro is an affectionate Lab Cross who loves people and snuggles on the sofa. He’d like to be the companion of an active older person, or in a family with older children. He wants to be your only pet but is OK with dogs out and about.
River (Halfway Home Dog Rescue, Nottinghamshire)
River is a friendly, affectionate boy and ever so well behaved! He’s good with other dogs and would love to have at least one doggy companion. He can only do short walks these days but he really enjoys them. His favourite thing is tummy rubs!
Jethro (Rescue Remedies, Surrey)
This big, soppy boy is a true gentleman! He’s respectful of other dogs and would be happy living with a friendly female one. He can live with older children as well. He’s well behaved and relaxed in the home and is a real cuddle monster!
Blue (Safe Rescue, fostered Norfolk)
Beautiful Blue is thrilled to have home comforts and happy outings with his other foster dog friends. He just needs a home and human of his own now, to make his life complete. Yes to other dogs. No thank you to cats or children. Plenty of fuss is a must!
