Friends for older people
Bringing wonderful canine companionship to older adopters.
At Our Friends Dog Rescue, we believe age should never stand in the way of a loving friendship between a dog and a lifelong dog lover.
Lifelong dog lovers deserve canine companions
Many older people have cared for dogs throughout their lives, yet as time goes on, finding a rescue willing to place a dog with them can become difficult. Over the years, we have seen that older adopters make the most fantastic companions. With rich experience, gentle routines, and time to give, older individuals offer warm, stable, and deeply loving homes for dogs in need.
Careful assessments for a perfect match
We take matching very seriously to ensure both you and your companion thrive together. Every dog considered for this initiative undergoes a thorough behavioural assessment to confirm they have the calm, gentle temperament best suited for an older person. We take time to understand your lifestyle, mobility, and preferences so that every placement is a joy.
Complete support and peace of mind
Every match begins with an in-depth home check and personal profile to make sure you feel completely supported from day one. In addition, our comprehensive rescue back-up guarantees that we remain here for you and your companion throughout your journey together, providing advice, guidance, and unwavering reassurance whenever you need us.
"After losing my previous dog, the house felt far too quiet. The team took the time to understand exactly who would suit my pace of life. Having my gentle companion beside me has brought joy and routine back to my everyday life."
