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!

5. Lassie and Star Glitter (Cocker Spaniel)
Lassie and Star Glitter are a pair of super special and super sweet little girls who have stolen all of the shelter staff's hearts. Star Glitter is slightly more independent than Lassie and will explore further when out on walks, whereas Lassie often chooses to stay close to you or regularly checks back in with you at least. Both Lassie and Star Glitter, however, are the most loving and friendly dogs who just love to be loved. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

6. Blueberry (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross)
Blueberry is a very scared, nervous and timid young lady, in fact, she is one of the most shut down dogs that has walked through the shelter's doors. From the moment she arrived, she just wanted to hide away and not even be looked at; heart-breaking to witness. Blueberry has come a long way during her time in the shelter, but still has a long way to go. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

7. Koda (French Bulldog)
Koda is a lovely lad. He is a friendly and outgoing boy, who is always pleased to meet people and greets everyone enthusiastically! He is full of life, he loves getting out and about on his walks, spending time with his humans and playing with his toys – his favourite seems to be balls. He’s also a typical Bulldog and can be stubborn – putting the brakes on if he’s decided he wants to go a different way on his walks. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

8. Bea
Bea is a lovely, sweet girl who has spent the past few weeks in a foster home. Initially, when she first arrived at the shelter, Bea did struggle to adjust to the strange new environment. She is a quiet-natured girl and was quite shy to begin with. However, with the time and patience of the dedicated team, she soon started building her confidence and would be happy to see them and be made a fuss of. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
