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!
17. Cracker (Fox Hound)
Cracker has well and truly lived up to her name and been a cracker of a dog! Cracker has a beautiful and kind nature, and is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She is a very impressive dog; she is smart and agile, fast and strong. Staff say Cracker is an ex hunting dog so she has never known the life of a typical pampered pet pooch, which will likely pose some challenges as she learns to navigate her new place in the world. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
18. Zeke (Crossbreed)
Zeke is a precious little boy who arrived into care as a stray, terrified of the world around him. He is growing in confidence one day at a time but he still finds the world a very overwhelming and scary place and will try and crawl into your arms at every opportunity for comfort. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
19. Billy (Shepherd Dog Cross)
Billy first came into care as a seven/eight-month-old lad and at the time was very silly and over the top. He was rehomed and his new family worked really hard with him, and loved him dearly, but found his behaviours too challenging to manage within their time and lifestyle and worried they were simply not the right home for him. Shelter staff have found him to be a lovely lad with a real heart of gold, and although we haven’t seen all of the behaviours described in the home, we have to consider that this could be environmental. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
20. 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
