Beau and Belle (was Donna) were both listed on the Oldies Club website on behalf of the rescues that were helping them. Both needed very special homes. Their wonderful new owners saw Beau here and fell for him – once he had settled in, they decided to adopt Belle as well! *now updated Feb 2006!*

Shep and Willow
Willow is a DDR Warrington Oldie, and Shep is an Oldies Club Oldie – and they now live together in their new home.
Dylan
Dylan has settled down well in his new home which he shares with two other Yorkies, Trixie and Jayne. Already he rules the roost with those two!

Molly sadly passed away on 26th September 2008.
Dorothy
Dorothy’s foster parents fell in love with her, and she stayed forever!

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!
Lukka
14 year old Old English Sheepdog Lukka spent four long years with Celtic Animal Lifeline, waiting for a new home. At last, he has found the perfect home with new dad Mark – this is his story.
Martha
Originally found as a mange-ridden, emaciated stray in Ireland, 9 year old Rottweiler cross Martha is now happily settled with new mum Nats – this is her story. :-)
Woody ~ aka Billy Wizz
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!
Madeline
Oldie Airedale cross Madeline came into foster care with the Oldies Club under The Alice Project and has now found a loving new home with her foster carers. Read the latest updates here! :-)
Penny
11 year old Whippet x Penny found a loving new home after her previous owners moved house and could not take her with them. This is her story.
Molly
Beautiful lurcher Molly came to District Dogs Rescue, Warrington, as a stray. Now she has a wonderful new home – this is her story.
Bruce
Oldies Club member Lyn fell for the picture of a matted, neglected GSDx poundie – now Bruce has arrived at his new home, happier, healthier and with a wonderful future ahead of him. :-)
Tessa
Lovely old lurcher Tessa has an inoperable thyroid tumour. The Oldies Club would like to thank her new owner for stepping into the breach and giving this beautiful dog a comfortable, loving final home.
Arthur
From pillar to post, with unexpected turns along the way, the Oldies Club have finally helped Arthur find the home he needs – here’s his story.

13/6/2006 – Bess has sadly passed away, after one happy year in her new home, much loved by her new family.

Brandy
Peggy
A survivor of horrible cruelty, Peggy is now living happily with a loving new family. This is her story.
Charlie

The first success of The Alice Project, little terrier Rats was rescued from an Irish pound with only hours to spare. Little more than a fortnight later, he had a loving new home…

Ted!
The Lovely Ted was the dog who sparked the formation of the Oldies Club – this is his story, told in his own words!
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.
