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. Delilah & Delores (Pocket Bully)
Delilah and Delores are both gorgeous, friendly and delightful girls who have not been a pick of bother throughout their stay at the shelter. Initially, due to Delilah’s rehome journey being a little ahead of Delores’s, the girls were looking for homes separate from each other. However, the girls are so closely bonded and are so much fun together, whilst also being very well behaved, staff are very much hoping we can find a home where they can stay together. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. Lemon
Lemon is a very sweet but shy girl. She is happy to have a fuss when you sit with her calmly, Lemon loves her food & almost every treat we have tried, so making friends should be easy. When she is comfortable with someone, she is a very loving and affectionate girl who loves to be on your lap and giving head bumps. She is also a vocal girl who’s not shy to let you know when she needs something! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

11. Yeti (American Bulldog)
Yeti is a delightful, playful and goofy lad always on the look out for some fun and attention! Yeti arrived into care as a stray and was in quite a state bless his heart. His skin was in a terrible condition and his ears bled they were so bad; he must have been in so much pain. Despite being a chunky boy, Yeti still seems to believe he is a lapdog and will happily jump on you knee for a cuddle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

12. Edith and Peggy
Edith (black) & Peggy (black & white) are a lovely pair of sisters who are sadly finding the shelter environment a little overwhelming. Up until recently, the girls were struggling to adjust and have spent a lot of their time hiding away. However, after moving them to a quieter area of our site and with our dedicated team continuing to spend time with them, they are slowly beginning to explore their environment more and are now happy to accept strokes and have a fuss from staff members and are starting to reveal more and more of their sweet characters. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
