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 19 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. Marco and Apollo (Chihuahua)
Marco and Apollo came into the shelter together and have a very strong bond so will be looking for a home together. This cheeky pair of lads can be affectionate and playful once they have been given the chance to get to know you, but also can be a little reactive towards other dogs when out on walks so will be looking for experienced owners. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Luna and Mojo
Luna is a very sweet and playful girl who will often be sat on her tree snoozing, but she demands attention as soon as she sees you coming! Mojo is a lovely boy, he can be a little reserved initially until he gets to know you, but given a bit of time he will show you his sweet side. Both have displayed dislike to other cats in the cattery, so they are looking for a home with no other pets. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Wispa (Belgian Malinois)
Wispa is very much your typical Malinois. She is high energy, extremely intelligent and mad as a box of frogs. Wispa can be anxious at times and can be quite vocal. Wispa will need an experienced owner who can dedicate their time to training, exercise and involving her in a sport or hobby to keep her enriched and happy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. Lanya (Old Tyme Bulldog)
Lanya is a real sweetheart and a sensitive soul who can be shy when meeting new people, but is a real love bug once she is comfortable with you! Lanya has lots of energy and loves a game of fetch with a tennis ball, she would do this all day long if you let her! She would love a home with a garden big enough for her to play in to burn off some of that excess energy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
