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!
9. Ellie
Ellie isn’t like your typical kitten, staff don’t know what she’s like outside the shelter, but in their care she’s been quite shy. Since arriving, she has spent majority of her time hiding in her bed. When the staff sit with her, she will pop her head out for strokes but she feels much safer staying in bed and getting cuddles from there, she’s a very affectionate girl who rolls around purring away in her bed when you stroke her. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
10. Ruby (Lurcher)
Ruby is a young, sweet girl who was shy upon arrival but is coming out of her shell more and more each day. Though Ruby did arrive into care as a stray, staff have been given information from her previous owner which has helped enormously in understanding the environment she has been used to. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
11. Dizzy (Fox Hound)
Dizzy is a beautiful girl who has the personality to match. She has been an absolute pleasure to get to know during her time in care and has proven to be a very gentle natured and sweet lady. Dizzy has previously been a working dog. This means she has a high chase drive and may never have lived in a home environment before / experienced the typical life of a ‘pet’ dog. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
12. Cracker (Fox Hound)
Cracker has well and truly lived up to her name and been a cracker of a dog! Cracker has a beautiful and kind nature, and is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She is a very impressive dog; she is smart and agile, fast and strong. Staff say Cracker is an ex hunting dog so she has never known the life of a typical pampered pet pooch, which will likely pose some challenges as she learns to navigate her new place in the world. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
