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!

9. Alfie (Jack Russell Terrier Cross)
Alfie is a lovely little lad who has swiftly made friends with staff and volunteers at the shelter. He is always pleased to see them and loves a good fuss! He can also have a playful side and will enjoy playing with soft toys and balls when in the mood! Alfie’s previous home mentioned that he was reactive towards other dogs when out on walks and had some issues with other dogs in the home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

10. Lady Rita (Pug)
Lady Rita is a brilliant little lady who has spent her time recently in a foster home. Her foster carers have had only good things to say about her! She is a super friendly and people-oriented girl and is very much your typical, daft Pug who gives everyone around her plenty of laughs! Her foster carers have reported that she is very well behaved and likes to be in their laps at every opportunity. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

11. Mojo (Lurcher)
Mojo is a lovely lady. She has such a sweet and gentle nature but is also lots of fun and has plenty of silliness to fill a home with laughs. 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! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

12. Linda
Linda is quite simply, a delight to be around! She is an incredibly sweet girl who adores human attention – she isn’t afraid to be vocal to let you know when she wants a fuss! She will often just sit purring when spending time with shelter staff and volunteers – happy just to be in their company! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
