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. Olly (Shih Tzu Cross)
Olly is a lovely little lad who loves getting out and about on his walks and saying hello to everyone he meets! He is an affectionate boy who enjoys spending time with his human friends. Olly arrived into the shelter in horrendous condition and had very clearly experienced a life of neglect. His coat was very matted and had to be shaved off, revealing sore and painful skin underneath. Understandably, he can sometimes be worried about certain handling, but he is very good at communicating when he is uncomfortable. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. 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
4. Duchess
Duchess is a beautiful girl who, sadly, is struggling with the shelter environment. She is finding the cattery very overwhelming and currently spends the majority of her time hiding away, only coming out when there is nobody around. Duchess has lived with another cat and several children previously and didn’t cope well. She would prefer to be the only animal in the home and requires a family with older, cat-savvy children or an adult-only home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
