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!
9. Frankie (French Bulldog)
Frankie is a delightful little girl who hasn’t put a paw wrong during her time at the shelter! She is a confident, friendly and happy lady who has settled straight in and been an absolute pleasure for staff and volunteers to get to know. She isn’t too interested in toys and can be fussy with her treats, her favourite thing in the world is human company – she absolutely loves attention and will often sit on our knees for a fuss! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Goose (Lurcher)
Goose is a lovely lad and, as the name suggests, a bit of a silly goose! He can initially be worried around new people/situations, but warms up quickly and is soon showing his fun side! Once he is comfortable with you, he enjoys being made a fuss of and spending time with his humans. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Willow
Willow is a sweet girl who sometimes has a hard time with her emotions! This is her second time in the shelter, she was brought into care last year and rehomed in November. When she first arrived in our care, she was shy initially but came out of her shell and staff got to know the lovely, affectionate girl that she is. After Willow got rehomed, her family got to know that Willow also sometimes likes things on her terms, and can occasionally be sassy or play too rough. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Axle (Lurcher)
Axle is a lovely, sweet lad who can be quite timid. At the moment, staff aren't sure if this is just due to the shelter environment, he does seem to making good progress in building his confidence as time goes on. He has enjoyed playing with toys and seems to particularly like soft toys. He has been quite timid when meeting other dogs and typically chooses not to interact with them, so could work on some more confidence building in this area too. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
