If you’re looking for a pet pooch and are happy to rehome a dog desperate for a ‘furever’ home, we have found some stunning doggies who just want the love, care and attention they so deserve.
If you live in and around Newcastle and the North East, the likes of Koda and Marshall are waiting for you.
They are currently living in Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter, but are not feeling very settled and would love to find a new home to play fetch, have cuddles and live a happy life with owners who love them.

The shelter was established in 1896 and helps thousands of lost, unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned animals every year. Their objective is the promotion of kindness and prevention of cruelty to animals.
They reunite lost animals with their owners and find loving new homes for those no longer wanted and cover the whole of the North East from their two shelters within Newcastle, Claremont Road and Benton North Farm.
Are you ready for some seriously cute faces?
Let’s meet those four-legged furry friends who could be your perfect pooch.
1. KODA
This gorgeous power house is approximately four years old and needs an adult-only home with no other animals.
He’s described as a “people loving power house” and thrives on attention and he’s not ashamed to shout and cry to get it.
He is a super friendly, bouncy boy and loves humans almost as much as he loves to play with his tennis ball.
Koda is a powerful dog and does need an owner with lots of experience of large breed dogs, as well as someone with experience of behavioural problems.
He needs a home able to cope with his strength and an understanding that he needs continued commitment to training.

2. MARSHALL
Meet Marshall – who really is a fine specimen of a dog. He’s great fun, bold, adventurous and fabulous company.
He needs to be the only dog in an adult-only home and needs to live with someone who is happy to accept him for who he is.
He suffers from skin issues which require lifelong medication and is prone to ear infections so he needs a loving, understanding owner who is sympathetic to his needs.
Look at his face – you know you want to.

3. ROSANNE
How is that for a beautiful smile for the camera.
Border Collie Rosanne is around seven-year-old and would love to live in a household with older children (13+) who would enjoy lots of walks and daily exercise. She’s also great with other dogs.
Unfortunately, Rosanne has been enjoying a few too many treats so is a bit overweight so needs a family who will help her gradually get her fitness back.
So, if you fancy rehoming Rosanne, keep those treats at bay for a while.

7. MARS
Just how magnificent is this one-year-old Akita, who really needs a home with just adults and no other dogs.
He may look hard as nails but he’s actually a real softie. He has a fab sense of humour and thrives on making people laugh.
He is highly intelligent and willing to please, but any perspective owner needs to be willing to continue his ongoing training as he can be quite a handful at times.
Mars needs his new owners to be very experienced with large breeds and have experience of dogs with challenging behaviour.

9. SIMON
Simon has had to endure a few ops since he’s been at the dog shelter but he takes it all in his stride.
