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 15 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. Wispa (Belgian Malinois)
Wispa is very much your typical Malinois. She is high energy, extremely intelligent and mad as a box of frogs. Wispa can be anxious at times and can be quite vocal. Wispa will need an experienced owner who can dedicate their time to training, exercise and involving her in a sport or hobby to keep her enriched and happy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. Angelica is coming on leaps and bounds in our care and is learning to trust more and more people. She is beginning to greet strangers without worry and has been well-behaved and focused on her friends on off-site walks. Watching Angelica come out of her shell is a delight to witness and we know the home lucky enough to adopt her will be proud as punch as they enjoy watching her build her confidence and show off her fun and silly self!

11. Posie is looking for an adult only home and to be the only pet in the home Posie came into our care as a stray dog and was absolutely terrified from the moment the dog warden collected her; she was so afraid and anxious she took a very long time to start trusting just a few of the staff here at the shelter. It took her a little while longer to become comfortable around the rest of the staff, but boy when she has decided she trusts you, is she worth the wait!

12. Tabitha is looking for an adult only home, she can’t live with other dogs or cats/small animals. Tabitha is a shy and anxious girl initially. Once she has started to form a bond with you, she is a sweet lady who loves nothing more than going out for her walks, she wants to go everywhere at 100mph and have a good sniff of everything. We feel she would be best suited to an experienced owner who can help her when she is feeling anxious, and give her the space and time required to settle in initially and form that vital bond, at her own pace.
