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!

5. Hercules (Crossbreed)
Hercules is a sweet and sensitive little lad who enjoys human company – when not following his nose! When out and about on his walks, he absolutely loves sniffing and exploring his environment and can be quite independent – seeming to forget his humans are there! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

6. Jordy (Whippet)
Jordy is a delightful, affectionate and excitable lad, but does have a little bit of a timid side at times. He adores nothing more than being around his people and getting fuss, although perhaps his love of food may slightly trump this! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

7. Fraser
Fraser is a wonderful young lad who absolutely loves people! He is a sociable chap and will begin purring super loudly as soon as he sees someone. He loves to be in the company of his humans and will even happily be carried around, kneading the air. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

8. Ramona (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Ramona is a super friendly and confident girl, who loves her humans! She is very much a typical Staffie – she thrives off human company and can often get over-excited and forget her manners and jump up repeatedly. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
