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 15 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!

1. Looking for a home

2. Barney (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Barney is the most handsome chap with a fun and endearing nature. Barney loves spending time with people - sometimes a little too much. He can get a little over excitable and silly and, in these moments, will jump up and can be mouthy. He means absolutely no harm – he just has an awful lot of love to share with little understanding of boundaries and not a great deal of impulse control. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Hunter (Whippet Cross)
Hunter is a beautiful boy and a sensitive soul with a lot of big feelings. He has a very sweet personality and loves a cuddle with his human friends. Hunter has struggled in the shelter environment and can get very stressed in his kennel. Once out and about on a walk he is a different dog entirely. He walks well and takes in his surroundings without any drama. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Milly and Tilly
Millie and Tilly are a beautiful pair of girls looking for their forever home together. Tilly (darker tabby) is the more confident and outgoing of the two and will often be straight over to say hello to our staff and volunteers. Millie (lighter tabby) is a laid-back lady who is more independent than her sister and often prefers to do her own thing. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
