Our 12 Strays of Christmas Appeal
This Christmas, we’re sharing the stories of 12 incredible animals, like Tootsie, who’ve found hope and love thanks to your generosity.
From frail and neglected to cherished and thriving, Tootsie’s journey is a testament to the power of second chances. Your support makes these transformations possible.
Help give more animals a second chance this ChristmasOur Cause
Finding loving new homes for animals across the North East
Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter helps animals that are lost, unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned.
Our objective is the promotion of kindness and prevention of cruelty to animals. We reunite lost animals with their owners and find loving new homes for those no longer wanted.
