News

With the terrible events of recent weeks, we wanted to post here to say that our thoughts and hopes are with the people and animals of Ukraine. The heartbreaking news reports of adults and children desperately fleeing for their lives, many of them clutching their beloved pets, have been so difficult to watch. If you are feeling utterly helpless, and wishing there was something you could do to help, you might like to consider donating to a relevant charity. There are many charities, and indeed individuals, working in and around Ukraine, and it can be hard to know where to start […]

As 2021 begins we just wanted to update our stance as a rescue. With all areas now being in Tier 4 we will continue with our suspension on home visits for both fostering and adoption. This will continue until a time where areas start dropping down into the lower tiers. For our dogs they know no different. They are warm, safe and loved in their foster homes. We hope that later in the New Year things will start to change but for now we choose to keep everyone safe. Share to help find homes for old dogs…

We have received this lovely tribute for Missy from her foster family The first day you arrived (July 2017) I took one look at you and fell in love. I wasn’t supposed to as we were just fostering but I couldn’t help it. Your frosted whiskers, Cleopatra eyes and a mouth that looked almost like a grin.  You came in the house and lay in a bed and fell fast asleep, like you had been there always. When we were asked if you could stay as a sponsor dog we jumped at the chance. Yet I hadn’t realised just how perfect […]

~ With less than a day and a half to go until the end of the third month of our Winter Appeal, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that we are going to meet our overall fundraising target, but if you would like to support our ongoing rescue work and contribute to the care of older dogs such as Grace and Duke, who came to Oldies Club after ending up in kennels when their owner became too poorly to care for them, you can do so …

Behind all the sweet and heartwarming photos of the dogs already in our care are the dogs on our waiting list, who may currently be in far from ideal situations, the dogs whose people are yet to contact us for help, the ones who may be abandoned/picked up as strays and the ones who may be left at vets to be put to sleep, but find their way to us as others have in the past.

~ It’s Love an Oldie Day again! ~ This year, we’re celebrating this special day as part of our Winter Appeal, with the help of the lovely Josie and her big-little brother, Toby.

If you donate via the above link, you can choose to add a message to appear with the details […]
