Storm Malik has caused 'severe damage' to parts of Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter as high winds battered the region on Saturday.
Staff acted quickly to evacuate the animals and bring them to safety as strong gusts took hold of the Benton rehoming site and left a trail of damage.
The worst hit was 'Doggy Towers', which was housing six dogs when the storm hit and went on to destroy the roof of the kennels block, which allows dogs access to a secure outdoor pen from their individual kennel.
