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 15 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. Rosco (Shih Tzu Cross)
Rosco is a lovely lad who has quickly made friends with staff at the shelter. Although it can take him a little while to warm up to new people, once he is comfortable – he is a friendly lad who enjoys having a fuss. He likes having a good explore and getting out and about! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Zeke (Crossbreed)
Zeke is a precious little boy who arrived into care as a stray, terrified of the world around him. He is growing in confidence one day at a time but he still finds the world a very overwhelming and scary place and will try and crawl into your arms at every opportunity for comfort. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Connie & Finnigan
Finnigan (black) is a lovely lad who enjoys being made a fuss of! He will always come to greet our staff and volunteers at the front of his pen – making sure he gets plenty of attention. Connie is more reserved than her brother and struggled to settle in as easily when she first arrived at the shelter. However, now that she has found her feet, she has shown us her sweet side and she also now enjoys attention and being made a fuss of. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
