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!

13. Arya
Arya is a shy but sweet little lady who is still adjusting to the shelter environment. She currently spends a lot of her time hiding away, but can be persuaded out with the help of some Lick-e-lix treats! She also loves catnip and will happily roll around in a pile of it! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Missy (Labrador Cross)
Missy is a very sweet and friendly girl who is always pleased to see both people and other dogs! She is a sociable lady, nobody is a stranger to Missy – she will happily say hello to everyone she meets. She absolutely loves getting out and about on her walks – she is happiest when out exploring! She will need an active home who are able to provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. | 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. Bear (Caucasian Shepherd)
Bear is a fabulous lad to spend time with, he is cheeky and fun and a big ball of silliness. Bear can be boisterous and a little over the top at times. He is easily over-aroused and sometimes jumps up in his eagerness for attention! Bear loves his people and gets very excited to greet them which sometimes means pulling to get there faster. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
