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 19 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!

All these pets at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter are searching for a home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

2. Juice (Crossbreed)
Juice is an energetic young lad, he’s bouncy and full of beans! He very much loves being out and about exploring. He would benefit from a home with a big garden, where he can spend lots of time running around and sniffing. He can be a little anxious at times and doesn’t quite know where to put himself, however we feel this could be to do with the environment and may do better when home and settled. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Madame Myrtle (Pug)
Madame Myrtle is a brilliant little character – she is silly, fun and super friendly. She is a typical pug, daft as a brush and loves being around people. She’s been an absolute sweetheart in the shelter's care, always a pleasure to be around. She could possibly live with another dog, but she can get a bit over the top and vocal when she sees another dog, so careful introductions will be required. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Spot (Jack Russell)
Spot is a lovely gentleman who very enjoys the company of people, he’s always happy to make new friends. He also thoroughly enjoys going out for long sniffy walks, and he gets very excited when it’s time to head out for a walk. Overall he’s a pleasure to be around, and he’s been a very good boy in the shelter's care. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
