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 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!
1. Looking for a home
All these pets at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter are searching for a home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
2. Riggs (Lurcher)
Riggs is a friendly and social lad, he enjoys meeting people and dogs alike and does so with enthusiasm and a waggy tail! He is intelligent and energetic meaning he would love a home who can take him on long walks and lots of adventures, but staff are pretty sure he may also be a bit of a cuddle bug when in the home as he has shown them an affectionate side at the shelter. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. Hemingway
Hemingway hasn’t been in care for long so shelter staff are still getting to know him but he has a very strong dislike for other cats which is making it harder for them to get to know his true personality. He arrived in care as a stray, so they don’t know his history. Hemingway is a confident lad, he’s nice to people initially but he gets frustrated by the other cats in the cattery and he sometimes misdirects his frustration towards staff. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
4. 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
