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 19 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. Legolas (Crossbreed)
Legolas will require an experienced owner who has the time and patience to help train him and also be capable of managing his challenging behaviour from the moment he goes home as he will only get bigger and stronger. Whilst at the shelter, staff have seen some anxious traits, and lots of over arousal, which leads to a lot of jumping up and mouthy behaviours, all quite typical for a puppy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
18. Alfie (Lurcher)
Alfie was brought into the shelter as a stray via the dog warden- he was terrified and completely shut down. He wanted to stay out of the way of the staff and just mostly lay in his bed. Since then he has really come out of his shell and is a very sweet and affectionate dog and loves getting attention from people and will pull towards people on site to go and get some fuss from them! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
19. 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
20. 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
