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!

13. Coco (Beagle)
Coco is a lovely little lady who adores spending time with her humans! She loves being made a fuss of and is a playful girl who will engage with a variety of different toys. She also loves getting out and about for nice long walks and having plenty of sniffs – typical beagle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Socks
Socks is a lovely lady who, although a little overwhelmed initially, has settled in pretty well at the shelter. She can be shy when first approached, but is always very keen to say hello – it might just take her a moment to build her confidence enough to come out of her bed for a proper greeting! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Layla (French Bulldog)
Layla is an absolute delight who has been a pleasure to spend time with during her stay at the shelter. She hasn’t put a paw wrong whilst in care and quickly makes friends with everyone she meets! She is a super affectionate lady and has a real playful and daft side too! She will interact with a variety of toys and enjoys playing fetch and ragging on soft toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. DJ
DJ is a lovely lad who initially struggled to settle in at the shelter. He is not a fan of other cats and so found the cattery environment very difficult to cope with. Once he was moved to a quieter area, he became a much happier boy, who is now super friendly with staff! He loves being made a fuss of and his meal times – being very vocal when he knows his food is on it’s way! He also enjoys having a good explore of his surroundings. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
