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. Kira
Kira is an affectionate older girl who did take a little time to settle when she arrived here, since she’s started to feel more comfortable though, we’re now seeing her true personality. Kira loves a comfy bed and happily snoozes when no-one is around, but as soon as you go into her pen she’s straight over to you for a fuss. She’s even happy to be picked up, and will snuggle into you for a cuddle purring away. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

6. Mojo (Lurcher)
Mojo is a lovely lady. She has such a sweet and gentle nature but is also lots of fun and has plenty of silliness to fill a home with laughs. She adores being around people and has won the heart of everyone she has met since arriving at the shelter, she’s an absolute delight to be around! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

7. Wyatt (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Wyatt is a friendly, fun and boisterous lad with the attention span of a goldfish! Although he always means well, Wyatt can get a little over excited at times and can behave in silly ways. Staff have introduced a training plan to help Wyatt find more appropriate outlets for his over-zealous behaviours, and this will need to be continued in the home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

8. Gus (Shar Pei x Old Tyme Bulldog)
Gus is a lovely young lad who can find new environments overwhelming and be spooked by loud noises. Despite not being at the shelter for long, he is already beginning to slowly settle in and gaining some confidence. He has been a gentle and pleasant boy to spend time with and get to know. He absolutely loves a good sniff and is usually found with his nose down, following a smell! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
