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!
13. Butters
Butters is a very handsome boy who was initially a little shy to begin with but very quickly showed his sweet side and didn’t take him long to make friends with all the staff and volunteers at the shelter. He is an affectionate lad who will nudge into you for a head scratch, he loves to be made a fuss of! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
14. Ruddy and Sahara (Old Tyme Bulldog X English Mastiff)
Ruddy and Sahara are a wonderful pair of siblings, they are littermates who have never spent a day apart! Ruddy (right) is the more confident of the pair, Sahara (left) can be a little more worried and gains a lot of confidence from being with Ruddy – she definitely feels more insecure when he isn’t by her side. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
15. Merlin (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Merlin is a lovely, friendly boy who will need an active family to keep up with him! He’s a strong lad with a tendency to pull on the lead, especially at the start of a walk. He will benefit from a handler who can help to calm him when he gets a little excited! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
16. Docs
Docs is a confident and friendly little guy who loves human interaction. He is a typical playful and cheeky young kitten who is happy to approach people and will reward them with the sweetest little purr once he’s got their attention. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
