After the success of this year’s camping trip it was decided that it would be nice to end 2008 off with another social event. On a crisp December Sunday morning a group of Oldies Club supporters and their dogs met up for a walk at Westonbirt Arboretum, Wiltshire. It was lovely to see 25+ dogs […]

We made a special plea for our dear little Ernie…

It all started on Sunday 18th May 2008. I stood at the most northerly point in the UK, and took my first step of Trish’s Trudge which would take me the length of the country to Lands End! Now, almost 80 days later, I’ve reached the wet hills of Yorkshire and am working my way […]

Speak Out for Animals (S.O.F.A), a school animal action club, is campaigning for microchipping of dogs to be made law. Click here to view and sign the petition. Taken from the petition site: Recent reports state that over 100,000 strays were collected in 2007. All of these had to be cared for by local councils […]

We currently have a number of dogs in our care that have very little chance of finding permanent homes. Sadly, these dogs have health problems and will need regular medication and special care for whatever time they have left. Oldies Club can provide permanent foster places for these dogs, so that they will enjoy a […]

We just couldn’t understand why no-one has enquired about Kyle the Cocker Spaniel. He’s a lovely old boy who will make someone’s home complete. Update – Kyle has now found a home!

The Oldies Club held another wonderful camping weekend, with oldie dogs, supporters, and younger dogs of all shapes and sizes attending. A good time was had by all, with lots of dog chat and the Mystery Event, a spur of the minute dog show (which was incredibly hard to judge!) won by our own beautiful […]

Since the Oldies Club was set up three years ago, we have helped many old dogs find new homes. Now, we are at risk of becoming the victims of our own success.

Trish, a slightly crazy(?), but very lovely Oldies Club supporter has decided she is going to walk from John O’Groats to Lands End to raise funds for the Oldies Club and Dogs Trust. She is starting in mid-May and estimates from all the planning and research she’s doing, that she will be walking 1,200 miles, […]

Because Oldies Club supporters and helpers are all over the place, it’s harder for us than for most rescues to have a treasure hunt. So we decided to have an online one instead! The secret Oldies Club treasure hidden in the website is a yummy ‘Hamper’ containing various items of Green & Blacks Chocolate – […]

Because the Oldies Club only deals with dogs that are at least 7 years old, our vet bills are always higher than average for most dog rescues – but at the moment we are particularly struggling with bills. We are currently caring for Feebee, Cofi, Scooter and Max – all older dogs who…

Regular readers will probably share our affection for Dane and our strong hope that he would eventually find a suitable loving home. Sadly, poor Dane’s health is not too good and Freshfields have decided to not rehome him as they feel the stress of a move could be too much for his heart. 27/9/08 Dane has now sadly passed away

The birthday WISH event on 22nd March has had to be postponed due to the expected bad weather. Oldie dogs don’t like having to stand about in the cold! We will be holding this event on Sunday 6th April instead (to be confirmed). Share to help find homes for old dogs…
