Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter helps animals that are lost, unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned. They reunite lost animals with their owners and find loving new homes for those no longer wanted.
​
"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."
​
Festival directors commented "We are over the moon to have the team from Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter joining us again, this will be their third year and we are always grateful for the support our visitors show. Last year they raised over £2500 so we hope they can beat that this year. A huge thank you to Hatton's Hungry Hounds who are sponsoring their charity dog show; this support means there are hundreds of rosettes to be won "
Roos journey
The Roo’s Journey Dog Show is one of the most heartwarming highlights of the North East Dog Festival, inspired by Roo—the incredible two-legged rescue dog who’s captured hearts across the country.
Despite her challenges, Roo lives life to the full and proves that every dog, no matter their ability, has something amazing to share.
​
This joyful dog show will celebrate dogs of all breeds, ages, and stories 2with fun and inclusive classes.
​​
Festival directors commented "We love working with Roo and her human team. They are passionate about the charities they raise money for and are huge advocates for all dogs. It will be their third year with us and we hope they have just as much success as previous festivals."
