The Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter has raised over £100,000 through its Warm Paws fundraising campaign, which they started due to the rising bills the charity is facing due to the Cost of Living crisis.
The heart-warming response has also seen some backing from high-profile North East celebrities, including Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer and Geordie drag star Miss Rory.
The Shelter has been helping find new loving homes for animals that are in need, as well as reuniting lost pets with their owners since 1896, but their annual energy bill that currently stands at around £50,000 is set to rise significantly.
