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. Stevie
Stevie is a lovely lad who has recently spent time in a foster home. His foster carer has reported that he does like to take himself off to a quiet area where he won’t be disturbed for long snoozes, but does seek human company when in the mood and will purr away and give plenty of nose rubs! His foster carers also said that he enjoys a cuddle in their laps and would occasionally sleep on their bed at night. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Alan (Lurcher)
Alan is a beautiful boy inside and out. He is a gentle soul who is struggling in the kennel environment and can get himself quite worked up. However, once out and about he is a very sweet, gentle, and friendly lad. Alan can pull on his lead initially, but does ease into a nice stroll. He is still very young and is very food motivated so training him should be a pleasure – and staff already see positive signs of him picking up on basic commands. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Bagel (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Bagel arrived into care as a stray. To begin with she was quite shy and timid but not for long. As staff have gotten to know this beautiful girl her true personality has begun to shine and she has been an absolute sweetheart. Bagel is fun and friendly and has been great when meeting new people. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Lucy
Lucy is a lovely girl who has settled in very well at the shelter! She is a confident and sociable little lady who will immediately approach staff and volunteers for some attention! She is an inquisitive girl who likes to have an explore of the cattery, but soon comes back to have more cuddles with the team. She also has a playful side and particularly enjoys chasing balls. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
