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 17 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. Bull Mastiff (Bull Mastiff Cross)
Xander is only six-months-old and at times, finds the world a bit scary and overwhelming. His new family will need to have patience and provide support for him to help him gain confidence and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place after all! Once Xander gets to know you, he is a bouncy and playful pup with lots of character. He is an extremely intelligent and sensitive lad, with a variety of working breeds in him. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. Zara (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Zara arrived into care in a bit of a sorry state! She had been attacked by another dog and had a few nasty wounds from this, but was an angel for treatment from the moment she arrived. Unbeknown to staff, Zara was in the early stages of pregnancy when she was brought into our care, and went on to be a wonderful mother to the litter dubbed “The Caraboao Pups”. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

11. Luna and Mojo
Luna is a very sweet and playful girl who will often be sat on her tree snoozing, but she demands attention as soon as she sees you coming! Mojo is a lovely boy, he can be a little reserved initially until he gets to know you, but given a bit of time he will show you his sweet side. Both have displayed dislike to other cats in the cattery, so they are looking for a home with no other pets. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

12. Narla (Border Collie Cross)
Narla is an intelligent and energetic girl who absolutely loves to go for runs in our big field! She has energy for days and would need an owner capable of keeping up with her! Narla loves people and is a really friendly girl, but can be a little shy when first meeting some new people. However, once she has gotten to know you, she will be your best friend! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
