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!

13. Midnight (Cane Corso)
Midnight is beautiful big girl who would benefit from a home who can help build her confidence. This lovely girl can be a little timid and unsure of new people / situations and needs a little while to warm up. Once she does though, she is your best friend and she loves spending time with those she’s comfortable with. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Cherry (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Cherry is a lovely girl who has been unfazed by her arrival at the shelter – from the minute she arrived she was happy to accept shelter staff all as her new friends! She is a very sweet lady who takes everything in her stride! She walks nicely on the lead and has been enjoying her off-site walks. She likes to have a good sniff and explore of her surroundings. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Meeko
Meeko is a handsome, confident lad who loves to have a fuss made of him! He is such a friendly boy who loves the company of his humans! Meeko is the most affectionate lad, the closer he can get to you the better. He will wind around your legs, meowing for attention and purring away, and given the opportunity he will often jump up on your shoulders to give you some face nudges. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. Zack (Jack Russell Terrier)
Zack has been a brilliant boy during his time here at the shelter. He is lively and energetic – always living life at 100mph – typical terrier! He is a confident lad and can be quite independent, enjoying doing his own thing and exploring on his walks. Terrier lovers will fall in love with Zack – he is a real friendly and happy boy – who is always on the go! It’s hard not to instantly love him! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
