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!
9. Joker (Lurcher)
Joker is a very confident and friendly lad who really enjoys being around people and getting attention from people. His other favourite things are food and chasing a flirt pole! Joker walked into the shelter without a worry in the world, but does find being in a kennel a little stressful, he is always super grateful when he is brought out for his walks. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Hemingway
Hemingway hasn’t been in care for long so shelter staff are still getting to know him but he has a very strong dislike for other cats which is making it harder for them to get to know his true personality. He arrived in care as a stray, so they don’t know his history. Hemingway is a confident lad, he’s nice to people initially but he gets frustrated by the other cats in the cattery and he sometimes misdirects his frustration towards staff. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Pippa (Lurcher)
Pippa is a sweet girl who can be a little shy and timid to begin with but once given the chance to get to know you, she is an affectionate girl and a pleasure to be around. Pippa has found life at the shelter quite worrying and at times, particularly when she is in the kennels, but once she is away from the hustle and bustle of it all, you can see her relax and unwind. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Goose (Lurcher)
Goose is a lovely lad and, as the name suggests, a bit of a silly goose! He can initially be worried around new people/situations, but warms up quickly and is soon showing his fun side! Once he is comfortable with you, he enjoys being made a fuss of and spending time with his humans. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
