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 17 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. Mojo (Lurcher)
Mojo is a lovely lady with such a sweet and gentle nature. She adores being around people and has won the heart of everyone she has met since arriving at the shelter, she’s an absolute delight to be around! She came into the shelter after being found in quite a rural area and suspected she has had puppies not too long ago. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Waffle (Shar Pei)
Waffle is a sweet girl who unfortunately can find the world a bit of a scary place. Staff suspect she hasn’t had an easy life before arriving at the shelter and it took her a while to warm up to the team. Now she is a little more settled in, she has particularly bonded to one member of staff and is very affectionate towards her, however she does remain aloof and worried about other team members – she is happy to go for walks with them, but becomes uncomfortable if they attempt to give her any attention. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Hiero
Hiero is a lovely lad who has made firm friends with staff and volunteers at the shelter. He loves nothing more than being in the company of his humans. He loves being made a fuss of and will even paw at your chest and follow you around the room to make sure you give him plenty of attention! His favourite place to sit is on your shoulder, or cuddled on your knee for a nap! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Cordelia (American Bulldog)
Cordelia is a lovely young girl who found the shelter a little overwhelming when she first arrived. Now she has settled in, however, she has shown us what a sweet girl she is and how playful she can be! She can still be an anxious girl at times, she seems to be particularly worried by loud noises and can be a little unsure when meeting new people – although it doesn’t take her too long to warm up. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
