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 17 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. Kermit (Pocket Bully)
Kermit is an absolute superstar. He is a brilliant boy with a personality as big as his smile. He adores his humans and will make friends easily with everyone he meets, happily rolling on his back for some tummy rubs. Kermit has become a firm favourite with the team at the shelter – he is just an absolute pleasure to be around. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. 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
11. Duncan
Duncan is a wonderful chap who has had a bit of a rough time prior to arriving at the shelter. He had been noticed straying in his area for nearly a year, and a kind couple took him to the vets to get some medical care. He has clearly had a hard time mostly fending for himself, he came into care with wounds on his nose and he has a few old battle scars but this hasn’t stopped him from being a sweet, friendly boy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Koda (French Bulldog)
Koda is a lovely little lad who enjoys socialising with his human friends. He’s an enthusiastic boy and even greets strangers as if they’re his best friend! He absolutely loves getting out and about on his walks and also enjoys playing with his toys – particularly balls or soft toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
