Hello again :-) I have been running a “guess the name of the dog” competition and still have some names left to choose from! We are also running a raffle, and if you buy one of our raffle tickets, you are in with the chance of winning a pet portrait and loads of other prizes too – please see this thread for details of all the prizes. Raffle Thread – payments can be combined for both competitions. (If you aren’t yet a registered forum member, you’ll need to register first) This is the lovely soft dog up for grabs in the […]

Loveable oldie Dan has a perineal hernia. Dan’s foster home has offered to lend the Oldies Club the £650 for his operation so he can start getting better quickly, but they can’t afford to pay for it out of their own pockets permanently, so we are now desperately looking for funds to cover this. If you can make a donation, however small, to help cover the cost of Dan’s operation, please click our Paypal link, or if you’d like to make a regular donation, you can use our Standing Order Form. You can find out more about Dan in his Doggy […]

At last, the Oldies Club application for registered charity status is almost ready to go, but there is one thing that needs to be done before it can be submitted.

As many members as possible […]

July has seen the number of dogs featured on the OC website that are now rehomed cross the 100 mark! It never ceases to amaze me how rapidly some of the dogs get rehomed. We had Amy, the staffy with a severe skin condition for only a couple of weeks before her new owner came all the way from London to collect her. This kind hearted lady took Amy on knowing she had a life long complaint that would always require treatment. I had anticipated having Amy for sometime but fate had other ideas. Dylan, the fourteen year old yorkie who […]

Oldies Club normally rehomes old dogs rather than other non-human beings, but we have been asked to rehome this house elf as a special request for a well known wizarding household, so we will do our very best to ensure that he goes to a loving home. Dobby is quite small for a house-elf, being only a few inches tall and made of knitted material. Despite this, he is extremely loyal, affectionate and completely house-trained. He doesn’t need much exercise, and is excellent with children. He is also quite safe around books and has shown no desire to chew them. We […]
