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 19 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. Leo
Leo is a sweet lad who didn’t take long to settle in at the shelter. He swiftly made friends with staff and volunteers. He’s a loving and affectionate lad who loves being made a fuss of. Leo can be a little shy initially, so appreciates a calm and gentle approach! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
14. Lennox (French Bulldog Crossbreed)
Lennox is a lively and energetic lad who finds staying still a challenge at times! He loves meeting people and other dogs and is a very friendly and playful lad. He has a real zest for life and wants to be exploring when he is out for his walks, and playing as often as he can too! He loves using his nose to hunt out treats hidden for him and get very excited about doing this. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
15. Zeke (Crossbreed)
Zeke is a precious little boy who arrived into care as a stray, terrified of the world around him. He is growing in confidence one day at a time but he still finds the world a very overwhelming and scary place and will try and crawl into your arms at every opportunity for comfort. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
16. Billy (Shepherd Dog Cross)
Billy first came into care as a seven/eight-month-old lad and at the time was very silly and over the top. He was rehomed and his new family worked really hard with him, and loved him dearly, but found his behaviours too challenging to manage within their time and lifestyle and worried they were simply not the right home for him. Shelter staff have found him to be a lovely lad with a real heart of gold, and although we haven’t seen all of the behaviours described in the home, we have to consider that this could be environmental. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
