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. 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
18. 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
19. Mojo (Lurcher)
Mojo is a lovely lady with such a sweet and gentle nature. She adores being around people and has won the heart of everyone she has met since arriving at the shelter, she’s an absolute delight to be around! She came into the shelter after being found in quite a rural area and suspected she has had puppies not too long ago. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
20. Chow
Chow is a sweet young lad who sadly, is struggling to adjust to the shelter environment. He currently spends most of his time either hiding away or sitting very high up in his pen out of the way, very worried and not wanting to interact with staff. They don’t believe this is a true reflection of Chow’s real character, as his previous home described him as a very affectionate and cuddly boy, who loved being stroked and sitting on laps. | Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
