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/.

13. Arwen (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and can be quite demanding for attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
14. Joker (Lurcher)
Joker is a very confident and friendly lad who really enjoys being around people and getting attention from people. His other favourite things are food and chasing a flirt pole! Joker walked into the shelter without a worry in the world, but does find being in a kennel a little stressful, he is always super grateful when he is brought out for his walks. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

Jeff is a sweet, friendly boy who didn’t take to long to settle in at the shelter. He enjoys having a wander up and down the row and getting a bit of fuss from the staff! He also loves a bit of play time, especially toys with catnip, and he chases them and carries them around. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
