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 21 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. 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
10. Kylo (Mastiff Cross)
Kylo is a lovely, big lad with a big character to match! He can be a little worried initially when meeting new people, but once he’s comfortable – he’s so much fun and a joy to spend time with. Kylo needs a family with experience and confidence in managing large breeds. He has shown reactivity towards other dogs whilst in our care and needs someone who has the knowledge and capabilities to responsibly manage this behaviour and spend time working on him developing more appropriate behaviours. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Daz (Staffordshire Bull Terrier)
Daz is a typical, daft Staffie! He is full of beans and will need an active family who can keep up with him. A home with experience of the breed would be beneficial. Daz has been very excitable when meeting other dogs whilst in our care and has shown some undesirable behaviours, he needs a responsible family who are committed to continuing his training and careful socialisation to help him to learn how to manage his big feelings and behave more appropriately. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Venus (French Bulldog)
Venus is the sweetest little lady who sadly arrived into care as a stray in a very bad state. Venus needed immediate veterinary care and a ton of TLC to get her comfortable. Venus has been seen by vets on many occasions, and also needed regular baths in a medicated shampoo – she has remained the best little patient and has taken it all in her stride! In wonderful news, Venus now seems to be thriving and is very much ready to begin her journey to a new home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
