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. Koda (French Bulldog)
Koda is a lovely little lad who enjoys socialising with his human friends. He’s an enthusiastic boy and even greets strangers as if they’re his best friend! He absolutely loves getting out and about on his walks and also enjoys playing with his toys – particularly balls or soft toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Arwen (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Arwen is a lovely little lady who absolutely adores spending time with her humans and can be quite demanding for attention! She is full of beans and so will need an active family who can keep up with her and take her on lots of lovely adventures, keeping her both mentally and physically stimulated. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Alice
Alice is a lovely, young girl who was initially very worried when she first arrived at the shelter. Now that she’s settled in, she has really come out of her shell and shown the staff her cheeky and playful nature! She loves to play and particularly enjoys wand toys. She also loves her food and will come running for treats when she hears the rustle of a packet! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
