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!
5. Archer (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Archer is a typical, daft Staffie who is full of energy! He is always on the go, he doesn’t often stop to think and can get himself a bit silly and overexcited, which can result in some undesirable behaviours. Archer needs an experienced family, who have a good understanding of Bull breeds and their boisterous and full-on ways. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
6. Anton (Cane Corso)
Anton came to the shelter as a very scared boy. He had been found tied to a fence and was understandably petrified. He didn’t know the people approaching him were there to help and warned them away with grumbles. Anton then arrived at the shelter and displayed the same fear response – he was so scared he didn’t even want to be looked at; he was completely shut down. Fast forward to now, and Anton has done amazingly! He is beginning to show people his fun and goofy side- he has grown very attached to certain members of staff and is really opening up with play bows, kisses, and leaning in for snuggles and fuss! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
7. Whimsy
Whimsy is a young and sweet girl. She can be easily spooked, however she is still small and the cattery can be a bit overwhelming. Whimsy takes it all in her stride and although she will hide at first, she is quick to come out and play as well as get cuddles. She has big purr and she loves to explore the cattery, often rolling around the floor and then running back to humans to get some pets. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
8. Hank (Lurcher)
Hank is genuinely the most beautiful boy inside and out. He has a real zest for life and approaches every day, and every person he meets, with the same friendly enthusiasm. Hank loves to be out and about, exploring his surroundings and meeting new people – he makes friends’ very easily. Hank also loves other dogs - sometimes a little too much however, and can be a little OTT. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
