A mix of breed tendency, age and individual temperament. Some breeds are naturally laid-back, older dogs are usually calmer than young ones, and every breed produces relaxed individuals. The most reliable guide is the rescue's or foster home's honest account of how the dog behaves day to day, rather than a guess from its breed.

Generally yes. A calm dog that is content with walks rather than needing space to run suits flat living well, especially if it is also quiet. Match the dog to your real routine, check your tenancy allows a dog, and a calm companion settles into a small home easily.

Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every calm dog listed here is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the calm dog's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, The Royal Kennel Club runs a Find a Puppy service, and Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.
