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!

2. Coco (Beagle)
Coco is a lovely little lady who adores spending time with her humans! She loves being made a fuss of and is a playful girl who will engage with a variety of different toys. She also loves getting out and about for nice long walks and having plenty of sniffs – typical beagle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Trevor (Crossbreed)
Trevor is a lovely lad who was very worried and timid when he first arrived here at the shelter. He was quite shut down and lacked in confidence. During his time with us, we have slowly seen improvement with this, but he still has some progress to make in coming out of his shell! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Lad (Lurcher)
Lad is a lovely boy who has been a pleasure to spend time with during his stay at the shelter. He really enjoys getting out and about on his walks and having a good explore. He is also very food-motivated, so loves his treats, but this means he is quite a greedy boy and so staff suspect he may have the potential to steal food if given the opportunity. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
