Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter & Animal Sanctuary

Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter & Animal Sanctuary in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter was established in 1896 and helps thousands of lost, unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned animals every year.  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. We cover the whole of the North East from our two shelters within Newcastle, Claremont Road and Benton North Farm.

Looking for a new family member? Our rehoming centre in Benton is open 1pm until 6pm Monday - Sunday.  We are closed every last Wednesday of the month for staff training and Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day. 

Pop in during opening hours or call 0191 215 0435 

From 01st May 2016, all arriving animals including stray dogs picked up by the dog wardens will be taken to our Claremont Road shelter.  If you have lost your pet, please call our Claremont Road Shelter on 0191 232 2878.

You can reclaim your lost pet between:
Monday to Sunday 8.45am until 6.45pm

If you are struggling to look after your dog or cat and feel it would be best to find a new home, please contact us and we will do our best to help.  Remember we are here to help the animals not to judge so please call us on 0191 232 2878.
