2. Bagel (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)

As staff have gotten to know this beautiful girl her true personality has begun to shine and she has been an absolute sweetheart. Bagel is fun and friendly and has been great when meeting new people. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Barry (Leonberger Cross)
Barry is a young lad who has been a delight to get to know. He is polite, sweet and very very friendly and still just a pup - a very big pup! Barry has shown the team he is very well mannered, especially for his age. He walks nicely on lead and greets everyone he meets with a waggy tail and a keenness for a cuddle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. 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
