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. Storm (Crossbreed)
Storm is an absolute tornado and an avid adventurer! She never stops and wants to be on the go as much as possible! Storm is looking for an active and high energy family who can keep up with her who will be happy to help her explore her world and engage with her environment. Storm wants to soak up all the sniffs so would thrive from access to exciting spaces. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
14. Fred (Cane Corso Crossbreed)
Fred arrived with us after being found running around the town moor still wearing his harness! We have struggled to understand why his owner has not come looking for him as he is such a lovely lad! He is full of character with a larger than life personality. This gorgeous big lad can be quite a handful when he gets excited. He behaves like a puppy and doesn’t realise he is actually a 50kg dog! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
15. Donnie (Bulldog Crossbreed)
Donnie arrived at the shelter in a bit of a sad way; he was found abandoned in the donation area by a member of staff, seeming quite confused about his new surroundings. Despite this, he has been nothing short of a good boy, with a couple of quirks, during his time with us. He is a strong bodied and willed boy who knows what he wants and will always find a way to get it! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
16. Tom
Tom is a sweet but sensitive lad who struggled initially with the shelter environment. Since being moved to a quieter area of our cattery, he has really come out of his shell and has shown us what a playful boy he is! He loves to play with catnip mice and string toys. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
