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 21 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!

1. Looking for a home
All these pets at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter are searching for a home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

2. Harry (Lurcher)
Harry is a lovely, sweet lad who can be a little shy of new people and environments initially. He has slowly been building his confidence during his time at the shelter and, once comfortable, does enjoy human company and chooses to be close to his people. He also loves his food and engages really well with enrichment, scent-based games/activities have been a great way to get him engaging with his environment and relaxing. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Arnold (Chihuahua)
Arnold is an absolutely delightful little lad who has won the hearts of all the staff and volunteers at the shelter. He just simply loves human company and being a lapdog. He has spent some time in the staff offices and as long as he’s on someone’s knee – he’s happy! He will now put the brakes on when being walked past the offices, hoping he’s going to be able to go in and get a cuddle from all of his fans! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Delilah (Pocket Bully)
Delightful Delilah is a typical bully; she is very people orientated and daft as a brush! Delilah has stolen the hearts of everybody at the shelter. She has bags of personality; she is fun and silly, and so so loving, but remains well behaved and not too boisterous. Delilah walks well and thoroughly enjoys being out on an adventure but equally as much, loves a chilled cuddle with a member of the team. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
