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!

9. Coco (Beagle)
Coco is a lovely little lady who adores spending time with her humans! She loves being made a fuss of and is a playful girl who will engage with a variety of different toys. She also loves getting out and about for nice long walks and having plenty of sniffs – typical beagle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. Gracey
Gracey is a lovely lady who has really grown in confidence since first arriving at the shelter. She is happy to say hello to all of the staff and volunteers and, once comfortable with you, will even climb on to your knee and rub into your hands to make sure she’s getting plenty of attention! She has also recently shown an occasional playful side and will interact with ribbon and string toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

11. Mary (Shar Pei Cross)
Mary is a beautiful, intelligent and energetic girl! She is happy to say hello to anyone she meets and, despite finding the kennel environment quite difficult to deal with, has still remained such a good girl who is always pleased to see shelter staff and volunteers. She absolutely loves being made a fuss of and spending time with her human friends. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

12. Layla (French Bulldog)
Layla is an absolute delight who has been a pleasure to spend time with during her stay at the shelter. She hasn’t put a paw wrong whilst in care and quickly makes friends with everyone she meets! She is a super affectionate lady and has a real playful and daft side too! She will interact with a variety of toys and enjoys playing fetch and ragging on soft toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
