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!

17. Sandra (Lurcher)
Sandra is a lively and energetic girl who loves people and playing! Sandra will greet new people as if they’ve always been her friend and often takes the shelter staff over to see other members of the team when she is out on her walks so get some attention from them too! One of Sandra’s favourite things to do is play with a ball, be that alone or with people, but she is at her happiest when she has a ball in her mouth. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

18. Cole
Cole is a sweet but sensitive boy who is finding the shelter environment a little overwhelming. He is a shy lad who spends a lot of his time hiding away, but will come out to say hello, although he remains easily spooked. When he is feeling safe, he will come to you for a stroke and has a super loud purr! He also loves lick-e-lix treats and playing with his toys – he will rub his cheeks all over any new ones he gets! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
