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 23 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. Barney (Staffordshire Bull Terrier)
Barney is very much a typical young Staffie – energetic, daft and full of love! He has settled straight in at the shelter and is a super friendly and confident young lad. He is such a character and so much fun to spend time with – often making staff laugh with his cheeky ways! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. King (Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Collie Cross)
King is a lovely young boy who is full of energy! He shows both Collie and Staffie traits, so requires an experienced owner who has plenty of time to dedicate to his training. He needs an active family who can keep up with his physical needs, but also provide him with plenty of mental stimulation – this intelligent boy is so switched on and needs to keep his brain busy. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

11. Marble
Marble is a beautiful young lady who enjoys meeting people and is always quick to come and say hello! She loves to sit on her shelf, watching out the window for passers by and taking the opportunity to introduce herself if given half a chance! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

12. Tye (Lurcher)
Tye is a lovely young lad who is a quite a sensitive soul. He was a very nervous boy initially when he first arrived here at the shelter and sadly still seems to be struggling with the kennel environment. However, once out and about and away from the noise of the shelter, Tye feels much more relaxed and is able to let his guard down and show staff more of his true, lovely, daft personality! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
