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 15 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!

3. Wyatt (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Wyatt is a friendly, fun and boisterous lad with the attention span of a goldfish! Although he always means well, Wyatt can get a little over excited at times and can behave in silly ways. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Karen
Karen is a tough little lady who was actually discovered on-site at the shelter with her kittens! The team carefully emptied one of our huge skips after Karen and her kittens were discovered hiding amongst the rubbish and thankfully they were able to get them all to safety. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
