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!

2. Hank (Lurcher)
Hank is genuinely the most beautiful boy inside and out. He has a real zest for life and approaches every day, and every person he meets, with the same friendly enthusiasm. Hank loves to be out and about, exploring his surroundings and meeting new people – he makes friends’ very easily. Hank also loves other dogs - sometimes a little too much however, and can be a little OTT. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
3. Momo (Lurcher)
Momo is a lovely young lad who sadly has come into the shelter's care for the second time. Momo first arrived as a stray when he was just five-months-old. He was soon rehomed but unfortunately, has had to return to the shelter due to a change in circumstances meaning he was left for longer periods of time, which he struggled with. Momo is still a puppy and will need ongoing training and socialisation to ensure he continues to develop into a confident, polite and well-rounded adult dog. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
4. Linda
Linda is quite simply, a delight to be around! She is an incredibly sweet girl who adores human attention – she isn’t afraid to be vocal to let you know when she wants a fuss! She will often just sit purring when spending time with shelter staff and volunteers – happy just to be in their company! | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
