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 21 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. Momo (Lurcher)
Momo is a lovely young lad who sadly has come into the shelter's care for the second time. Momo first arrived as a stray when he was just five-months-old. He was soon rehomed but unfortunately, has had to return to the shelter due to a change in circumstances meaning he was left for longer periods of time, which he struggled with. Momo is still a puppy and will need ongoing training and socialisation to ensure he continues to develop into a confident, polite and well-rounded adult dog. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Opal (Crossbreed)
Opal is a wonderful girl who staff say has been an absolute delight to get to know and spend time with during her stay at the shelter. Everyone is her best friend – she loves to say hello to people! She can sometimes be a little over-excitable and jump up for a fuss, so she would benefit from having a family who can work on her being a little more polite with her greetings. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Elliot
Elliot is a wonderful boy who has spent the past few months in a foster home whilst he was getting ready for rehoming. Elliot arrived at the shelter as a stray in a sorry state, he was underweight and in very poor condition. Thanks to the love, care and dedication of his fantastic foster carers, Elliot has transformed from a lethargic, poorly cat to a healthy, sociable and gentle boy who has got a whole new lease of life! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
