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!
5. Storm (Akita)
Storm has been a real BFG the whole time he has been at the shelter. He very quickly became a staff and volunteer favourite with his big character and playful ways. He came in as a stray so there is no history on whether he has met any cats or small animals. For the most part he has been a good boy when meeting other dogs, but sometimes does get a little frustrated when he can’t get to them and this can spill over into him being very vocal towards them. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
6. Vinny (Boston Terrier)
Vinny is a unique little lad who is a laugh a minute with his antics and mischievous ways! Though he is an older boy, he doesn’t seem to let that slow him down in the slightest, he is still a pup at heart! Vinny came to the shelter as a stray, however staff do know he has previously lived in a home with other dogs and settled well with them. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
7. Sullivan (Crossbreed)
Sullivan is a high energy and intelligent boy who would love to go to a home where he will be able to go out on adventures, he may make a brilliant hiking buddy as he will walk for hours! Sullivan is a big and strong lad who gets very carried away with himself when he is excited and can jump up, he also does pull on the lead so will need someone who can manage this whilst he learns his manners a little better. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
8. Milo
Milo is a sweet young lad who struggled with settling in to the shelter environment initially. He soon made friends with the staff and begun to grow in confidence – he will often now be at the front of his pen, meowing for attention! He likes to follow the staff around his pen – waiting for them to make a fuss of him. He likes being cosy and warm and can often be found snoozing, curled up under his heat lamp. He also loves his food and will never say no to a few treats! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
