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. Axle (Lurcher)
Axle is a lovely, sweet lad who can be quite timid. At the moment, staff aren't sure if this is just due to the shelter environment, he does seem to making good progress in building his confidence as time goes on. He has enjoyed playing with toys and seems to particularly like soft toys. He has been quite timid when meeting other dogs and typically chooses not to interact with them, so could work on some more confidence building in this area too. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
14. Bugzy
Bugzy is a shy but friendly lady who was a little cautious initially when she first arrived at the shelter. Now that she’s settled in and gotten to know the staff, she is always happy to see us and be made a fuss of. She is getting more and more confident by the day and will now often start purring as soon as staff enter her pen and will begin following them or rolling around for attention! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
15. Blueberry (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Blueberry is a very scared, nervous and timid young lady, in fact, she is one of the most shut down dogs that has walked through the shelter's doors. From the moment she arrived, she just wanted to hide away and not even be looked at; heart-breaking to witness. Blueberry has come a long way during her time in the shelter, but still has a long way to go. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
16. Layla (French Bulldog)
Layla is a sweet and affectionate little lady who has a real playful and daft side! She’s been a pleasure to spend time with whilst at the shelter and quickly makes friends with everyone she meets! Layla does have some quirks which she will require ongoing training and management for. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
