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!

2. Benji (Labrador)
Benji is a delightful young boy who has arrived at the shelter after his previous family found him a little too boisterous for their household. Benji is a fab and fun young lad who is very much in the midst of the difficult puppy mouthing stage! Benji means no harm but he can be boisterous and will jump up without realising his own strength. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Brin (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Brin is such handsome gorgeous boy inside and out. He is a lively, energetic and intelligent lad. Brin simply adores being around people and will do anything he can to get a fuss from them! He will make friends happily with everyone he meets, and always has a waggy tail and a big smile on his face as he tootles around the site getting cuddles from all of his human friends! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Charlie (French Bulldog)
Charlie is a brilliant little lad with bags of character! He loves people and is a fun and silly boy to spend time with. Charlie loves his walks and using his nose when he is out and about sniffing up all the good smells and enjoying his environment. Charlie is not a fan of other dogs and can be reactive. He will need experienced owners to help work with him in this area to, hopefully, encourage him to find more appropriate behaviours when seeing and meeting other dogs. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
