Seniors for Seniors

Dogs can offer older people companionship, provide a reason to get out of the house, and offer many health benefits associated with daily walking. However, it is understandable that older people don't want to take on the hassle or responsibility of puppies and younger dogs!

We often take in older dogs from owners who can no longer care for them. That's where our Seniors for Seniors programme comes in. This programme aims to support the re-homing of refuge dogs over 7 years old with older people/ retirees who may not want a younger dog.

Older dogs may also suit younger people and families, who for a number of reasons may not want to take on a puppy or young dog, but who may be looking for a suitable mature dog.

If you are interested in teaching an old dog new tricks, contact the Refuge to register for the program.

Through the Seniors for Seniors program, we hope to match people with exactly the right dog and, in doing so, enable our older dogs to find a good home where they will be well cared for.

You can also help the Refuge to continue caring for and rehoming lost and abandoned dogs in Perth by leaving a gift in your will. For further information, visit our Bequests page.

Older Dogs Currently At The Refuge


Qwark DOB - JULY 2006 \| Male \| Kelpie x Staffy Good day people, my name is Qwark. They say I am an older gentleman but I am not feeling the years at all, honestly I can keep up with any of those young dogs! I must admit I have an addiction to tennis balls, I cannot get enough and I will hound you to throw one for me if it is around. I am also a tennis ball detector and if there is one in a yard then I will find it! My dream home would be one where I am inside with you but also have my very own yard full of tennis balls to play in during the day. Could you provide me with that? Part time workers or someone who is retired is best suited for him as he will need company in his new home at the beginning or he may stress. MY ENERGY LEVEL: Qwark will require approx. 2 x 30 minute walks daily which will need to be adjusted as he gets older. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Not recommended - ideal home is adults 16+ as due to age may not tolerate young children. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Choosy with dog friends.

With a bit of love and attention, Charlie will make a great addition to any family and you will wonder what you ever did before you had him.

Charlie will require approx 2 x 30 minute walks daily to help shed some kilos. He will need someone who can do training with him as he does have basic manners but can definitely learn more. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Charlie Brown is best suited to older dog-savvy kids MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Charlie appears to be choosy with his doggie friends. He is best suited to a home where he will be only dog and should not be forced to interact with other dogs.

MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Maverick is looking for a calm home where he does not have to worry about young kids bothering him and he can just relax. Although he is older he will still require approx 2 x 30 minute walks daily this will decrease as he grows so it is best to keep on eye on him.

Sonja DOB - DEC 2008 \| Female \| Rottweiler X Hey I am Sonja. Previously I have not been very well taken care of as I came in quite skinny, I had bad skin and I have had multiple litters of puppies so I feel that I am now getting better and I deserve to have a dream home. I am very strong so I need to have an owner who is equally as strong and able to take me out on walks. I have very basic manners but I will sit for a treat and I love food so I am super keen to learn. It may take some time for me to settle into my new home as I am an older lady as this is a big change for me so please be patient with me, as a thank you, I will reward you with love for as long as I can. MY ENERGY LEVEL: 2x 30 minute walks daily MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Older dog savvy kids only. She came in very skinny and some dogs as a result can be quite protective of their food so should be monitored a precaution. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Other dogs should be fine as long as they are given a slow introduction. Cats have not been tested.

Bonnie DOB - MAR 2008 \| Female \| Mastiff X Staffy Hey there, my name is Bonnie, and I'm new to Facebook. I'm a 9-year-old female Mastiff X Staffy and I'm currently in foster care and am hoping to find a home and humans just like my foster carers because they are so amazing, they gave me a second chance. I've had a terrible past, something that haunted me for some time, but my foster carers have moved mountains for me and have helped me to become more confident with who I am and how I handle myself. Because of my past, I can be cautious with new people, but when I'm given an appropriate introduction, I'll usually feel more comfortable, and you'll start to see my sweet, loving side. I'd like to think that some positives have come out of my past, although there's not many at all - one positive is that I've learnt to create a bond like no other with my foster carers because they know and understand how grateful I am to have them in my life...and I know I can create this bond with my new forever humans too. I try to be as polite as possible, and I'm always respectful of my home space. I know things like, 'sit', 'down', 'paw' and 'wait' and I'm super smart and know I'm able to learn even more. I love belly rubs and will sometimes put my paw up to let you know that my belly is ready for a rub. I'm very affectionate once I feel safe around you and would make the perfect companion for someone who is single, or a couple who have time to nurture me and love me unconditionally. I'm not overly confident with other dogs and would need to be the only dog in my new home, although I'm okay out on walks when myself and other dogs are all on lead, I'll tend to choose to ignore them. I just don't like other dogs in my personal space...that's all. I hope someone out there is perfect for me and I'm perfect for them. I just want to know that I have the security of a forever home; that's my dream. Love always, Bonnie xo MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Bonnie needs owners who are willing to initially allow Bonnie her own time and space. Her new owners need to be aware that she doesn't like to be pushed to meet new people and she would rather stay within her family unit. She would make a fabulous companion for a single person or would fit nicely into life with a couple. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Bonnie is not suited to children in the home and children should not visit either. She can be quite fearful of them and needs a nice quiet home. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Bonnie needs to be the only dog in the home.	Yeti DOB - DEC 2008 \| Male \| Rottweiler X German Shepherd Yeti is a lovely older dog who is looking for a new home. He has some training and would still benefit from further training as he is strong on the lead. He is gentle and affectionate with people so may be suitable for families as well as retirees. He plays nicely with tennis balls so his new owners can encourage appropriate play for his mental and physical enrichment, which is important for older dogs. This lovely boy will make a great addition to loving home. MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Yeti will benefit from consistent and positive training which the new owners will need to give so he can settle into their new home and this will help build a bond with him. We would recommend that Yeti is not taken to any new places or meets any new people for at least the first 2 weeks whilst he is settling in. After this time, he can start to have on-lead walks in quite areas only but NO dog parks/dog beaches and NO off-lead time yet. Family members should be introduced slowly and in a calm manner so he remains appropriate and polite. Once settled in he would benefit from two 30 minute walks a day as well as enrichment and playtime so he can be mentally & physically stimulated. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Older kids are best suited to Yeti as he's an older gent. The new owners will need to ensure that children are appropriate around Yeti especially whilst he is settling into the new home. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: TBA	Milli DOB - JUN 2008 \| Female \| Kelpie X Staffy Milli is a pleasant, older girl who is still quite active and is in need of a loving home.Ideally we feel she would be best suited to a rural property, like a farm where she could be in the tractor next to her owner during the day and allowed to get off and have an explore where needed. Once home at night she could get fed outside and let in when finished for a snuggle on the lounge as she is one big cuddle bunny. MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Milli will require approximately 1 hour of exercise daily. She may suit full time workers but will need time to settle into her new home before being left for full days. Milli has displayed resource guarding behaviours with her food and sometimes her toys. Milli's new owners will need to feed her outside and respect her space when she is eating etc. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Due to Milli's resource guarding, Milli must not be re-homed with children. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Milli must not be rehomed with dogs or other animals due to her resource guarding.

Gypsy DOB - MAY 2005 \| Female \| Kelpie X Gypsy is a lovely older lady who is very keen to find and settle into her furever home! She a much loved dog by everyone she meets. Gypsy is super friendly with all people and just wants to sit next to you enthusiastically lapping up all the affection she can get. Gypsy is good with other dogs but does prefer calmer, well mannered dogs who do not jump all over her. She is an absolute sweetheart and will make an amazing companion in the right home. MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Gypsy will only require a short gentle walk daily, ensuring not to over-walk her due to her age and her arthritis. Gypsy is well mannered, has good obedience, walks well on lead and is a very happy, affectionate girl. Is ok with most dogs as long as they are well mannered with her. Gypsy can be needy and likes to know that you are there with her. It is essential that her new home is a very a very quiet environment as she does not handle too many people. She loves one on one company and can settle well, however, if there are even 3 or 4 people around this is too much for her. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Not suited to children MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Gypsy tolerates other quiet, calm dogs, but she will need to be the only dog in the house.	Juddy DOB - SEP 2009 \| Male \| Staffy X Juddy is an affectionate, well mannered Staffy currently in the foster home but very much on the lookout for his Furever Home! He loves the company of his people and will need a home with someone around most of the time as he does not cope alone for long periods at the moment. Other than that he has a very good report from his foster carer who says he is very affectionate, well mannered and a welcome house guest. Juddy is just one who will need time to adjust in his new home & lifestyle but with the right people will make an awesome buddy Juddy! MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Juddy will require approximately 1 hour of exercise daily as well as mental enrichment such as kongs and other chew toys. He does not cope being left alone and will need someone home with him most of the time and then once settled after 3-4 weeks can begin working on this. Juddy's foster carers have given Juddy a glowing report! MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Juddy may suit children in the home as long as they are appropriate with him and can respect his space especially during his settling period. Pending meet... MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Juddy is good around other friendly and calm dogs. He will need time to settle into his new environment before being introduced to new dogs.	Quentin DOB - JUN 2009 \| Male \| Staffy X Labrador What a beautiful boy Quentin is. This guy is deceiving, there looks to be a lot of life left in this old boy yet. We paired him up with a young Great Dane cross and he was so happy interacting. He barked with excitement. He is such a character and we feel he will make one great loyal companion. He will require a 45 minute walk and sniff a day. I feel he will be best suited to fit retired people or someone who can take him to work like a tradie or truckie. MY ENERGY LEVEL + REQUIREMENTS: Quentin needs to go to a home where his owners are home for most of the day. Apparently he stresses a little when left but we feel if his physical needs are met daily of a 45 minute walk this should settle him. I feel a fit retired person would suit this guy down to the ground or a quiet household. I could also see him as a truckies' mate or a tradies' mate where he could travel in the car with his owner going to work. I think kids visiting will be ok but at his age it may be nice to retire to a chilled out place. He definitely has to be able to stay in side as he loves being indoors. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Quentin is looking for a nice quiet household to retire in. We feel he would be more comfortable without younger children in the home. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS & DOGS: Quentin is a social butterfly with other well-mannered dogs. He is NOT fond of cats.
