Oldies Club is an organisation dedicated to helping homeless older dogs. We support dogs in foster homes until permanent homes can be found. Oldies Club is urgently looking for more foster homes who can provide temporary care for older dogs who find themselves without a home through no fault of their own. Older dogs are handed in to us for many reasons, sometimes due to the death of their owners, changes in circumstances or where elderly owners are unable to take care of their much loved dogs any longer. We need caring foster homes to help us give those oldies a […]

Competition now closed. Today we launch a competition for children to paint or draw a picture that they feel represents Oldies Club’s volunteer work rescuing and rehoming older dogs, with the aim of featuring two of the entries during this year’s Winter Appeal.

Hello, lovely supporters, For the last two years we have run a September Pledge, which has been well supported – thank you – and so we have decided to run it for a third year. We hope lots of you will decide to take part, as the money is much needed at this time, to help take care of our beautiful sugar-frosted ones :-) We are looking for 50 people to pledge to raise £50 each this month for Oldies Club. As many of you already know, we’re a small volunteer-run charity that rescues and rehomes older dogs in the UK. […]

Caroline photographs around Amesbury, Andover, Basingstoke, Newbury and Winchester and can also attend dog shows in these areas […]

Oldies Club is celebrating older dogs! We are holding a fundraising photo competition for the tenth year running especially for dogs age 7 and over. The winning dog will represent the Oldies Club for the following year. The only rule for this competition is that dogs entering need to be veterans, they do not necessarily need to be rescue dogs to enter. We have divided the UK up into 7 regions (North East, North West, South East, South West, Midlands, Scotland and Wales). The winner of each region will go forward to the Grand Final. As this is our tenth anniversary […]

It’s hard to imagine how it must feel for an old dog to find themselves losing their familiar environment and separated from all they know. As a charity, we work hard to place our dogs in a specially-chosen foster home that we feel will best suit their needs.

~ Winter Appeal for Oldies Club: please help keep our doors open to older dogs this winter ~ We recently faced the very real possibility of having to close our doors temporarily to the intake of new dogs . It would be devastating to have to do this over the winter period in particular, as we know it could leave dogs in urgent need of help in vulnerable situations during the coldest time of year and, going by our intake over the years, without much needed and often expensive veterinary care. If you’ve been following our work, you’ll already have seen […]

Here at Oldies Club, a small volunteer-run dog rescue registered charity, we have helped over 5,000 homeless old dogs in rescue to be discovered by new, loving families, thanks to our popular website.
