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 23 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. 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
19. 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
20. 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
