About Bryson’s Animal Shelter

Brysons Animal Shelter is Gateshead’s only animal shelter rehoming cats, dogs, and small animals, providing care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Supported by a dedicated team of ten staff, the shelter ensures every animal receives the highest standard of care while they await their forever home. Brysons takes a personal, thoughtful approach to rehoming, working closely with adopters to ensure the right match for both animal and owner. Each year, the shelter successfully rehomes over 150 dogs, 200 cats, and many small animals, while offering lifelong support should circumstances ever change. Founded in 1947 by Bill and Marion Bryson, the shelter has grown from a refuge for horses and ponies into a vital sanctuary for animals across the region.

Dolly And Teddy

SexFemale
Age18 years
BreedShih Tzu

‹› Dolly and Teddy This pair arrived in a very neglected state but despite everything, they were such happy and friendly little souls! They have been thoroughly vet checked, had antibiotics, medicated baths and a good groom to remove the heavy matting and they are looking good Teddy’s hair is growing in so well and skin is looking amazing. Dolly is hugely improved but will still need medicated baths twice weekly until we have her skin looking perfect. They are not related but have lived together for many years and despite Dolly being a bossy boots, they do adore each other.

Dougie, a 2 years old male Pointer available for adoption from Bryson's Animal Shelter in Tyne and Wear

Dougie

Tyne and Wear
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedPointer

‹› Dougie A big, handsome boy with a fun, bouncy personality. Dougie certainly isn’t for everyone………..he will be a huge commitment for exercise and training. This breed needs a very active home to stop them becoming bored and causing unwanted behaviours. His previous owners found him to be very destructive and physically very demanding. Dougie loves people and other dogs, but many dogs would struggle to cope with his boisterous behaviour. He will probably be best as the only pet so his new owner can focus on his training.

BreedLurcher

‹› Enzo Enzo is a fun, friendly boy who adores people and lots of cuddles. he would like his new owner to be around for most of the day to keep him entertained. Enzo loves his exercise and he walks very nicely on lead. However, he does have a very strong prey drive so he will need to be kept on lead he public places. Enzo is good with other dogs but he does get over excited when dogs are running. A lovely boy who would benefit from further training.

Tyne and Wear
SexMale
Age4 years
BreedJack Russell Terrier

‹› Halo Halo is typical terrier……he is full of life and character! A friendly, confident boy who loves people and attention. Halo can be a little lead reactive when meeting other dogs so there is work to be done to help him remain neutral around other dogs. If Halo is walked with other dogs he does relax and is happy in their company. Halo would benefit from a new owner with terrier experience, they can be challenging and aren’t the dog for everyone.

BreedGolden Retriever

‹› Otis Otis is an active young dog needing an experienced owner with time to invest in him. He has totally dominated his owner and is used to getting his own way, his new owner will need to set some boundaries and help him gain some manners. For this reason, Otis cannot be re-homed with children of any age. Ideally Otis will be best as the only pet in the home so that he can focus on his training. Please consider the commitment and needs of Otis carefully before enquiring about him, he will be a challenge!
