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!

2. Gus (Shar Pei x Old Tyme Bulldog)
Gus is a lovely young lad who can find new environments overwhelming and be spooked by loud noises. Despite not being at the shelter for long, he is already beginning to slowly settle in and gaining some confidence. He has been a gentle and pleasant boy to spend time with and get to know. He absolutely loves a good sniff and is usually found with his nose down, following a smell! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. Lola (Lurcher)
Lola is an absolute ray of sunshine; she is the sweetest friendliest girl who absolutely adores her human friends. Lola arrived into care after being found in The Rising Sun Country Park suffering from quite a severe leg injury. Her hip was dislocated and she did require surgery which she has, subsequently, healed well from. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
4. Gracey
Gracey is a lovely lady who has really grown in confidence since first arriving at the shelter. She is happy to say hello to all of the staff and volunteers and, once comfortable with you, will even climb on to your knee and rub into your hands to make sure she’s getting plenty of attention! She has also recently shown an occasional playful side and will interact with ribbon and string toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
