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 19 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. Gumby
Gumby is a typical Dachshund, friendly, confident and loves the sound of his own voice at times! He is a super happy little chap who is happy to go off independently exploring when out with shelter staff, but also always comes back to check in and for some fuss, unless he thinks you’re going to “catch” him and put him back on lead, then he will run away again! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Crumpet (Chihuahua Cross)
Crumpet is a sweet and lively pup looking for her forever home. Typical puppy, Crumpet can be nippy and strong willed and would love to find a family who are focussed on building a wonderful foundation of training and good manners for her to learn and grow from. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Ruby (Lurcher)
Ruby is a young, sweet girl who was shy upon arrival but is coming out of her shell more and more each day. Though Ruby did arrive into care as a stray, staff have been given information from her previous owner which has helped enormously in understanding the environment she has been used to. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
