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. Alan (Lurcher)
Alan is a beautiful boy inside and out. He is a gentle soul who is struggling in the kennel environment and can get himself quite worked up. However, once out and about he is a very sweet, gentle, and friendly lad. Alan can pull on his lead initially, but does ease into a nice stroll. He is still very young and is very food motivated so training him should be a pleasure – and staff already see positive signs of him picking up on basic commands. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
6. Bagel (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Bagel arrived into care as a stray. To begin with she was quite shy and timid but not for long. As staff have gotten to know this beautiful girl her true personality has begun to shine and she has been an absolute sweetheart. Bagel is fun and friendly and has been great when meeting new people. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
7. Kira
Kira is an affectionate older girl who did take a little time to settle when she arrived here, since she’s started to feel more comfortable though, we’re now seeing her true personality. Kira loves a comfy bed and happily snoozes when no-one is around, but as soon as you go into her pen she’s straight over to you for a fuss. She’s even happy to be picked up, and will snuggle into you for a cuddle purring away. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
8. Barry (Leonberger Cross)
Barry is a young lad who has been a delight to get to know. He is polite, sweet and very very friendly and still just a pup - a very big pup! Barry has shown the team he is very well mannered, especially for his age. He walks nicely on lead and greets everyone he meets with a waggy tail and a keenness for a cuddle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
