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!

2. Crossbreed puppies
Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter has a lovely litter of Crossbreed pups looking for their forever homes! Their Mum was Shar Pei X Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Dad was Labrador X Sighthound. The pups are typical, confident, cheeky and energetic youngsters. They are likely to grow to be large adult dogs and so need families who are prepared for this. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. Pod
Pod is a lovely older chap who took a little while to settle in at the shelter. Initially, he was quite a worried boy when he first arrived and wasn’t sure of his new surroundings. However, now that he’s been there a little longer, he has begun being braver and will now accept strokes and treats from staff, as well as having a little explore outside of his pen. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
4. Toby (Jack Russell Terrier Crossbreed)
Toby is a sweet little lad, he loves getting fussed by people and will actively seek attention from his human friends. He’s a pretty confident boy who didn’t take long to settle in care. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
