~ Please, please, please donate – click HERE – if you can, to help us keep our doors open for older dogs in need! We have now paid out almost £18,000 this month alone, with more vet bills to come, and our little team of volunteers is feeling rather worried right now Please don’t think that you can’t make a difference by donating £2. Of course, if you can spare more we’d very much welcome that too, but if a quarter of our followers could spare £2 for us today it would really help us get back on track and keep […]

~ Sweet Sammy helped us launch our Summer Appeal and would love for you to support him, HERE. Hello, I am Sammy, a black Labrador boy, who came into the care of Oldies Club in July 2023, when my previous owner was moving without taking me with them. Unfortunately, as I arrived in Oldies Club care, it was immediately obvious that I wasn’t in the best condition. I had poorly ears, long nails and lumps on various parts of my body  I was eating and drinking okay, but I was feeling very shut down and subdued, which is sadly far from the […]

Do you have a soft spot for older dogs?   Do you feel for those older dogs who find themselves in need of a new home, through no fault of their own, and feel thankful that Oldies Club exists to help them through our rescue and rehoming work in the UK?   Do you know that we’re a small, volunteer-run charity and that our expenses, predominantly vet bills, reach the many thousands of pounds each month?   Would you love to do something wonderful on a monthly basis to help us care for the beautiful oldies whose sugar-frosted faces you see […]

Could your dog be Oldies Club’s next dog model? We’re looking for a Cover Star to feature on the front of our 2024 Calendar. So what better way than to run a photo competition to find a fabulous winner to grace our cover and win a bundle of lovely goodies. The rules are simple:- Dogs entered must be aged 7+ – they do not have to be rescue dogs. You must own the copyright of the pictures you are posting as any photos entered may be used for future promotional material by Oldies Club. No studio shots such as those taken […]

~ I’m posting this evening whilst wearing my worried fundraising hat to ask, please, if anyone else is able to donate to our Spring Appeal this week? Our treasurer has had to pay out £16,000 so far this month and in order to keep bringing dogs into our care, like the lovely Scampy and his eyebrows, who came to Oldies Club after the death of his person, we need to keep those lovely donations coming in too. We’re well into spring by now and we are far from meeting the appeal target . We are truly grateful to everyone who has […]

A New Year’s Eve message from the fundraising side of the Oldies Club team Winter Appeal It wasn’t very long ago that we had to close our doors to incoming oldies, due to financial challenges. Everyone on our Oldies Club team donates their time, as volunteers, to our little charity and knowing that we were having to turn away older dogs in urgent need of help was truly heartbreaking for us all  It is only thanks to subsequent donations that we have been able to take in a number of older dogs this month, including Indie, the beautiful lurcher, and the […]

***WINTER APPEAL*** ~ Today, we launch our Winter Appeal. Please donate what you can HERE to help Oldies Club keep its doors open and give older dogs in need, in the UK, a second chance at life this winter    Oldies Club is a volunteer-run charity that rescues and rehomes older dogs in the UK. Our vet bills are our primary expense, reaching almost £42,000 total for just the three months August to October 2022, which is a lot of money for a little charity to find. We hope by launching this campaign to raise additional funds to help us through […]

Here at Oldies Club, a small volunteer-run dog rescue registered charity, we have helped around 7,000 homeless old dogs in rescue to be discovered by new, loving families, thanks to our popular website. Oldies Club is a friendly, helpful, dog rescue charity, and as well as rescuing and rehoming old dogs via our own rescue –- to date Oldies Club itself has rehomed 1122 dogs –- we also promote old dogs that are in other rescues, by carefully crafting descriptions of them and publicising them on our much-loved website. We are very proud to share the news that we have again […]

~ Below, is a copy of a post made on our Facebook page on 21 September, for those who prefer to follow our work via this site. We so appreciate those of you who have since shown your support, thank you :-) *********** Feeling very sad this evening, as our rehoming volunteers are having to turn away older dogs in need on a regular basis now, because unfortunately our expenses (which are always predominantly vet bills) are exceeding our income by about £7,000 so far this month, following on from an August where we paid out thousands more than we brought […]

~ We hope that we can encourage you to pause for a moment, rather than scrolling past, and support our rescue work, caring for and rehoming older dogs in the UK by contributing to our Summer Appeal. We have many thousands of website visitors and “follows” on social media, who presumably all care about older dogs in rescue, which is wonderful, and we are very glad you are here with us . I know the pesky algorithms on Facebook will be preventing our appeal posts from reaching many of our supporters there, but for those we do reach, both here and […]

~ After being left to live alone in the garden after his person died, Snubz is one of the dogs now in the care of Oldies Club, a small, volunteer-run charity rescuing and rehoming older dogs in the UK.

~ Hi, I’m Ted, a very sweet 10-year-old Pug, who came into the care of Oldies Club at the end of 2021, with my best friend and snuggle-buddy, little Penny, a 15-year-old Dachshund x JRT. You can see us together HERE. I have been in a lovely foster home with Penny since then and our fosterer and Oldies Club have been taking great care of us, but unfortunately the humans noted that I have a cough that the vets said needed further investigation, along with potential brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome. (BOAS), which often affects dog breeds like mine. I spent the […]

~ It’s hard to believe, looking at these lovely photos of a gorgeous dog relaxing at home and thoroughly enjoying spending time outdoors (photos taken prior to the current heatwave) that, just a few months ago, we were running an urgent appeal to find a new foster home for Sullivan. It’s wonderful to see how settled he is in his forever home, but this only happened because we were able to find someone who could offer Sullivan the home environment he needed, after his initial foster home was able to provide a much-appreciated, clear assessment of exactly what Sullivan needed on […]

If you have found your way to our website, it’s likely that you love dogs as much as we all do here at Oldies Club, currently have a treasured canine companion and/or have very fond memories of dogs you have opened your heart to in the past, and share our great appreciation for these precious beings when they reach sugar-frosted older age. We would like to ask you, therefore, if you might consider leaving a legacy to Oldies Club in your will, to help us continue to rescue and rehome older dogs in the UK in the years to come? While […]
