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!
17. 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
18. 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
19. Treacle
Treacle was brought into care after his owner passed away, and unfortunately he really struggled to adapt to the shelter environment. Treacle spent the majority of his time in a cat box with his head down, not engaging with anyone and hissing when approached. Due to how shut down Treacle was in our care, he’s gone on foster with one of the shelter's lovely foster families. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
20. Belle (Cane Corso)
Belle is a delightful girl who is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She absolutely loves human company and adores being made a fuss of – she is a very friendly girl who is happy to say hello to everyone in the hopes that they might give her a stroke! She also will sometimes enjoy playing with toys – although being made a fuss of is definitely her priority! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
