Seb was a UK poundie freed from pound life with the aid of the Oldies Club’s trusty transporters. He was in quite a state, itchy, balding and with a badly damaged eye. Now Seb has gone to a forever home where he is dearly beloved.

Lottie (formerly Erin)
Originally found as a stray in Rathgar, oldie terrier cross Erin came to the Oldies Club under The Alice Project.
This is her story.
Augusta & Victoria Plum
In June 2005, the Oldies Club received a call from Meadow Green Dog Rescue, Norfolk. They had been asked to take in two oldie terrier bitches whose owner had been hospitalised and would not be able to care for them in the future, but had no room to accept them. It normally takes much longer to rehome pairs of dogs, but these beautiful girls were off to their new mum in Derbyshire within just one week – read how here!

A small, older crossbreed was brought in to District Dogs Rescue, Warrington following a road traffic accident in May 2005. He had his eye removed and was nicknamed Billy Wizz. Now known as Woody and settled in his forever home with new mum Barb, he may not “wizz” around, but he’s certainly fallen on all four paws!

Ted has now sadly died, but the story of how he came to his new loving home is still well worth reading.
Tuppence
When Tuppence’s elderly owner could no longer care for him, she made the heart-rending decision to have him put down rather than face life in kennels. This is the story of how – by coincidence and sheer determination – the Oldies Club gave Tuppy a second chance.
Pip
Pip and Angie found each other through the Oldies Club poster scheme. Able to see past the scars and lumps on Pip’s aging body to the lovely boy inside, Angie has given him a wonderful home, and all the love he needs.
