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!

13. Suki
Suki is a sweet girl who struggled with the shelter environment initially. She spent a lot of her time hiding away and not wanting to interact with staff. However, with some time and patience, she has recently begun to let her guard down and show them more of her true character. She has now found her voice and can be quite a vocal girl when she wants attention. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

14. Wyatt (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Wyatt is a friendly, fun and boisterous lad with the attention span of a goldfish! Although he always means well, Wyatt can get a little over excited at times and can behave in silly ways. Staff have introduced a training plan to help Wyatt find more appropriate outlets for his over-zealous behaviours, and this will need to be continued in the home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

15. Yeti (American Bulldog)
Yeti is a delightful, playful and goofy lad always on the look out for some fun and attention! Yeti arrived into care as a stray and was in quite a state bless his heart. His skin was in a terrible condition and his ears bled they were so bad; he must have been in so much pain. Despite being a chunky boy, Yeti still seems to believe he is a lapdog and will happily jump on you knee for a cuddle! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

16. Smudge
Smudge is a lovely young lad who has settled straight in at the shelter. He loves attention and will begin meowing as soon as he spots you, to make sure you go over and give him a fuss! He is always happy to see people and will be straight over, rubbing around staff's legs and purring away! Smudge sadly is now with the shelter for the second time. His previous homes have said he wasn’t good with very young children or with dogs. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
