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. Ivor
Ivor is a wonderful lad who has been a pleasure to get to know during his stay at the shelter. He initially struggled to adjust to the shelter environment when he first arrived, but now that he’s found his feet, he has shown staff what an affectionate and laid-back boy he is. He absolutely loves being made a fuss of off those he’s comfortable with and will lie, purring away, for as long as possible being brushed – he absolutely loves a good groom! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

18. 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

19. 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

20. Squid (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Squid is a million miles an hour dog, he always wants to be doing something and doing it quickly! He is a bright and active boy, boisterous at times, and ready to go at 100mph at all times. He can pull on lead and is quite strong so would benefit from a capable owner who can work on his lead skills. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
