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 21 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
All these pets at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter are searching for a home. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

2. Bert (Shih Tzu X German Shepherd)
Bert is a delightful little lad who has bags of character! He is very much a typical pup – affectionate, playful and full of beans! He will require all of the basic training and socialisation that all puppies must undergo and needs a family who can give him the time, effort, patience and commitment that he deserves. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

3. Voodoo
Voodoo is a chap with a huge personality! He was not a happy lad when he arrived at the shelter, known to be a scared, grumbly boy who lashes out when feeling scared or annoyed. Voodoo has been on foster with a foster family and is doing much better now that he’s in a home environment. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

4. Jewel (Pomeranian)
Jewel is a sweet little lady who currently finds the world a bit of an overwhelming place! She massively lacks in confidence and appears to have missed out on some of the early training and socialisation she should’ve had – she isn’t a big fan of being walked and requires ongoing training to become accustomed to being on a lead. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
