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. Cracker (Fox Hound)
Cracker has well and truly lived up to her name and been a cracker of a dog! Cracker has a beautiful and kind nature, and is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She is a very impressive dog; she is smart and agile, fast and strong. Staff say Cracker is an ex hunting dog so she has never known the life of a typical pampered pet pooch, which will likely pose some challenges as she learns to navigate her new place in the world. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Gracey and Stevie
Gracey is the more confident of the two, and is normally first to come out. She likes a fuss and will rub into your hand for some attention. Gracey will also put her paws on your chest and try to push into you for more attention! Stevie is a bit more nervous. He likes to spend time in his bed under the heat lamp. He is a sweet boy though, and will eventually come to you if you spend a bit of time in the pen with him. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Angelica (Cane Corso)
Angelica is an extremely playful and boisterous young girl, who still shows puppy like behaviour when playing. Angelica is very keen to learn and really engages with training, she would benefit from continuing both practical and fun training. Angelica has recently started scent work and she cant get enough of it and would benefit from continuing once in a home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. 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
