Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter has a number of animals that are looking for their forever home.
The shelter, which was established in 1896, helps animals that are unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned - as well as reuniting lost animals with their owners and finding loving new homes for those who are no longer wanted.
Here are 13 cute animals who are in need of a home - you can find out more at: https://www.dogandcatshelter.com/.
Take a look and see if you can open your heart and home to a new four-legged friend!

2. Peppa (Pocket Bully)
Peppa is a sweet little lassie who loves her food! Peppa has become a huge hit with the team at the shelter due to her delightful personality. She loves to spend time with her human friends and is always waiting for them with a waggy tail. Peppa has had mixed reactions to dogs – some seem to overwhelm her and she can become vocal, whilst others she show signs of wanting to play with. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Marley (French Bulldog X British Bulldog)
Marley is an adorable and super friendly girl, with bags of confidence! She is a very sweet and people orientated dog, often seeking to have a fuss and a cuddle over playtime. Marley loves her human friends, however, without a shadow of a doubt, Marley’s favourite thing is food – she is absolutely mad for it and will shout at us when she knows there is food on the go and she hasn’t got it. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Harry (Lurcher)
Harry is a lovely, sweet lad who can be a little shy of new people and environments initially. He has slowly been building his confidence during his time at the shelter and, once comfortable, does enjoy human company and chooses to be close to his people. He also loves his food and engages really well with enrichment, scent-based games/activities have been a great way to get him engaging with his environment and relaxing. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
