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!
5. Pippa (Lurcher)
Pippa is a sweet girl who can be a little shy and timid to begin with but once given the chance to get to know you, she is an affectionate girl and a pleasure to be around. Pippa has found life at the shelter quite worrying and at times, particularly when she is in the kennels, but once she is away from the hustle and bustle of it all, you can see her relax and unwind. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
6. Gizmo (Shih Tzu)
Gizmo is an older boy but is very young at heart! He is a brilliant little lad with bags of character and strong opinions. Gizmo may be an older lad, but he still adores going out for his walks and still has enough energy for a run around in our off leash pens! He may not make a great hiking partner but he will make a great companion who will keep you entertained. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
7. Jojo
Jojo is a sweet little lady who has been quite shy since arriving here at the shelter. She has spent most of her time hiding away and been reluctant to interact with staff. Recently, with the time and patience of the dedicated team, she has been spending more time on her cat tree at the front of her pen and will now take treats from them. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
8. Lassie (Cocker Spaniel)
Lassie is an incredible girl who has been an absolute pleasure to care for. She is a beautiful, sweet and gentle soul who hasn’t put a paw wrong during her time at the shelter. She absolutely loves human company and thrives off being made a fuss of. She would like a family who are around a lot of the time and can give her plenty of attention. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
