‘OLD DOG OF THE WEEK’ FEATURES NEW PHOTOS AND A FRESH WRITE-UP FOR AN OVERLOOKED OLDIE THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR A WHILE BUT IS STILL WAITING FOR A NEW HOME. Please help Winnie by sharing this page! Winnie The Cavapoo (Cavalier x Poodle) is medium sized, 9 years old and looking for a temporary foster home through Oldies Club which meets her very specific needs. It must be within a 3 hour drive of her current foster home in Kent, be adult-only with no other pets and no visiting children , have a flat garden and foster carers who can give her the TLC she needs. Fostering Winnie with a view to adoption is, of course, an option. N.B. As Winnie is still in the fostering/assessment stage of our rehoming process, some of her particulars may change and this page may be updated. For instance, she's already lost some excess weight, Good Girl Winnie! Winnie came into Oldies Club care as her owner could no longer look after her. She's currently in foster care in Sittingbourne, Kent with a resident small dog. Unfortunately, Winnie has started to resource guard certain items (sometimes unpredictably) and it would be much better for her to be an only pet in a child-free home, so she doesn't need to trouble herself. Winnie is naturally friendly, playful, loving and biddable. She'll sit nicely and drop items when asked to. She loves fuss and praise! It's her physical challenges (hip dysplasia combined with tubbiness) which are limiting her at the moment and managing those in the right sort of home will help her be the sunny-natured lady she really is. Winnie when she first arrived in foster Winnie has already made huge progress. She's managed to lose over 1kg despite not being able to have proper walkies, just garden pottering. Hopefully she will continue to improve as she gets to her ideal weight, builds up those back leg muscles and her pain-management is perfected. She moves more easily now than when she first arrived but there's still a way to go and she's unlikely to ever need normal walks as such. Winnie's done some gentle pottering on her foster carer's farm land and has proved to be as good as gold around livestock of all shapes and sizes. Likewise, she's well-mannered with other dogs she meets as long as it's nowhere near her resource guarding triggers. She's made good friends with the Labrador living next door. Winnie with chickens Winnie has a gorgeous soft coat but it grows like the blazes so she need regular trips to the groomers and for the groomers to be careful of her ouchy hips. Another adorable quirk of Winnie's is her loud breathing and occasional "backwards cough". The vet has checked this out and all is well with her lungs and heart. It's just a Winnie thing! Her foster carer has described Winnie as an angel when her resource guarding triggers are avoided. These are any high value food items/human food or her toys in the proximity of a perceived threat to them, like the resident dog where she is at the moment. Winnie is a skilled forager, both for food and interesting toy-like things to play with. Her foster carer has had to move her bin more than once and a little table which, now she's more agile, Winnie scrambled up onto to reach said bin. She is quite a character and loves fuss and praise so much, she's taken to bringing things to her foster carer as presents. Such a clever girl! Could you offer Winnie a child-free, dog-free, cat-free foster home? —————————— If you could offer Winnie a suitable foster home, within 3 hours of Sittingbourne, please contact us ASAP, as follows: Email: Oldies Club will arrange transport to the foster home and will cover the cost of any medical care Winnie need while she is in foster. You can read more about fostering for Oldies Club here . Although we are initially seeking a temporary foster home, we would be very happy to hear from anyone wanting to foster Winnie with a view to adopting her, but please only apply if your home is a match for her needs. —————————— This replaces Winnie's urgent appeal page dated 28 July 2026.
