Here are seven dogs aged eight years and older looking for new homes across Norfolk. 

1. Mischa

Where: Dogs Trust Snetterton

Mischa is looking for a calm home to enjoy her retirement (Image: Dogs Trust Snetterton)At the grand age of 14, husky-cross Mischa is looking for a calm home where she can enjoy her retirement.  

She is a friendly dog who enjoys snuggling up with her favourite people. 

Due to her age, she has arthritis so only needs a gentle stroll and a garden to potter around in and has to take regular pain relief.

Mishca can live with older children, and could potentially live with a cat too, but would ideally like to be the only dog in the house.

2. Sirius

Where: Safe Rescue For Dogs

Believed to be around 10 years old, staff describe him as a "chatty" dog who communicates with staff in a "comical and cute" way. 

He walks well on a lead and enjoys going for walks. 

Ideally, he would be the only pet in the home and will need a family without children.

3. Joey

Tiny 12-year-old Yorkie Joey is still active and described as "happy" and "friendly".

His favourite activities include going shopping, going for walks and pottering around the garden.

He will need someone to be with him all day and would be a great companion or family dog. 

There is a possibility of him living with other cats and dogs and he can live with respectful children aged eight plus.

4. Sausage 

Where: Dogs Trust Snetterton

A labrador-spaniel cross, his favourite hobbies include chasing tennis balls, showing off his skills for treats, and snuggling on the sofa. 

Sausage is looking for an adult-only home where he is the only pet and won’t be left for long periods. 

He needs to be kept on a lead and due to past experiences wears a muzzle.

5. Karina

Where: Safe Rescue For Dogs

Staff describe her as a "beautiful, friendly girl who loves to be around people".

She mixes well with the other dogs in her foster home and could live with other dogs.

Due to many years in a shelter, Karina is learning to walk on a lead but enjoys being out and exploring. 

6. Murphy

Murphy is a 10-year-old cocker spaniel who would suit an active, outdoorsy family who can take him on lots of fun walks. 

Described as a "friendly, affectionate boy" who loves cuddles, he would need some lead and house training, as well as a secure garden. 

Murphy can’t live with cats but can live with older children and other dogs after successful meets.

7. Rona

Rona is well-behaved on walks and good on the lead.
