4 older rescue dogs looking for a new home
It's a sad truth that older dogs are often overlooked in rescue centres, often due to misconceptions about their energy, training or ability to bond with a new family. But senior dogs make wonderful companions for people of all ages and have plenty of affection to give.
Here, we meet four lovely older dogs (aged four and up) at RSPCA Staffordshire North who are currently looking for new homes.
Bertie the Cocker Spaniel
Bertie is a typical Cocker Spaniel – even at eight years old, and with early cataracts, he still loves to run around! He's looking for a new home after ending up at the RSPCA with some of his friends. Whilst he may be able to live with another dog, he'd prefer to be the only animal in the home (including cats).
Bertie is:
Almost housetrained (will need a little training)
Able to live with children of secondary school age
Able to be left alone for short periods of time
Riot the crossbreed
Five-year-old Riot needs a home that is willing to put in some work, but you'll be rewarded with plenty of love in return. He's a chunky dog and sometimes doesn't realise his size, so whilst he can sit nicely for a treat, he needs a little work on the lead. He loves food and treats, which is very useful for training. Due to his size, he needs to live in an adult-only household. Riot would prefer to be the only pet.
Riot is:
Great at lots of commands
In need of plenty of human company - ideal if you work from home
Always on the go
Rosie the crossbreed
Rosie ended up at the RSPCA through no fault of her own and is a happy, affectionate dog. She's super strong, so needs someone with plenty of experience to help her get used to walking nicely on a lead. However, she's full of love and is happy both exploring and chilling out.
Rosie is:
Four-years-old
Able to be left alone for short periods
Able to live with children of secondary school age
A gentle giant
Buster the crossbreed
Buster might be seven-years-old, but he's still a bundle of energy. He's good-natured and has a happy disposition, but needs plenty of exercise and an experienced home. He needs some training to help him learn to sit nicely (as well as other commands) but he should pick this up quickly with the right owner.
Buster is:
Best-suited to an adult-only household
Able to be left for short periods of time
Very active and friendly
