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.

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. Daisy (French Bulldog)
Daisy is the friendliest and sweetest girl. She absolutely adores her humans and will rush to greet everyone she sees, expecting lots of fuss and attention. Daisy, however, is not so keen on dogs and has shown signs of reactivity in the shelter which will need closely managed once home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
