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!

13. Nala
Nala is a beautiful girl who has had a bit of a tough time lately. She previously came from a busy home with several children and another cat, which she found really stressful and she has had a hard time adjusting to the strange new shelter environment, too. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Ray
Ray is a wonderful boy who has been a pleasure to get to know and spend time with during his time at the shelter. He is a super friendly lad who loves people. Staff have no background information on Ray after he arrived into their care as an unneutered stray with no microchip, but they suspect he must’ve been in a home at some point in his life as he is such a sociable chap. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Button
Button is a beautiful little lady who sadly has had a hard time adjusting to the shelter environment. She currently spends most of her time hiding away in her bed where she feels safe. However, she has slowly but surely been growing in confidence and, as she’s finding her feet, she’s showing staff what a friendly and affectionate girl she can be. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. Zippy
Zippy is a big friendly boy who is full of character! He is a very vocal and sociable lad, always chatting away to staff and volunteers – asking for some attention. He enjoys lazing in his cosy bed and can appear a little aloof at times, but he just enjoys taking everything in. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
