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!

21. Reuben (American Bulldog cross)
Reuben is big lad with a big heart and a big personality. He seems to have little idea of his size and therefore plays like a small pup. Reuben is fun and full-on and can be boisterous and silly, but means no harm – he is just full to the brim of love and playfulness. Reuben can be vocal when he sees another dog, but once up close has shown great manners. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

22. Bella (Lurcher)
Bella is a lovely, energetic girl who is loads of fun to spend time with. She is super friendly and makes friends with everyone she meets really quickly, she sometimes has trouble keeping all four paws on the ground when she sees people! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

23. Jack (Cockapoo Crossbreed)
Overall Jack is a lovely little lad. He can be nervous in new environments and sometimes when meeting new people, but once he has gained his confidence, he is a real sweet lad! He loves a fuss and will come sit on your knee for attention if given the opportunity! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

24. Squid (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Squid is a million miles an hour dog, he always wants to be doing something and doing it quickly! He is a bright and active boy, boisterous at times, and ready to go at 100mph at all times. He can pull on lead and is quite strong so would benefit from a capable owner who can work on his lead skills. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
