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!

2. Wilma (Lurcher)
When Wilma first arrived at the shelter, she was very nervous and shut down. Her confidence did start to build quite quickly, she is working hard to be a very brave girl! But still has some worries, particularly around meeting new people. Wilma is a little wary of really boisterous or vocal dogs, but seems happy and friendly around more laid back dogs. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. Elton (French Bulldog)
Elton was quite shy when he came into the shelter and can still sometimes be a little bit shy when meeting new people, but is a very laid back and sweet lad. He prefers life in the slow lane and although he enjoys his walks, he wouldn’t make a good hiking partner as he can be quite stubborn when he doesn’t want to walk anymore! Elton loves his food, so much he sometimes eats too quickly and needs a slow feeder so he doesn’t gulp it down. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
4. Harry (Lurcher)
Harry is a lovely, sweet lad who can be a little shy of new people and environments initially. He has slowly been building his confidence during his time at the shelter and, once comfortable, does enjoy human company and chooses to be close to his people. He also loves his food and engages really well with enrichment, scent-based games/activities have been a great way to get him engaging with his environment and relaxing. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
