THE Gold Coast's Animal Welfare League shelter is bursting at the seams with homeless dogs and cats, prompting a plea for locals to think about adopting before they head to the pet shop.

Volunteers at the Coombabah-based shelter are calling on Gold Coasters to give unwanted animals a second chance at life by giving them a furever home.

The shelter currently has scores of adorable puppies, cute kittens and loving adult dogs and cats, all eager to shower a potential new owner with unconditional love.

Among those up for adoption are two-month-old Australian Cattledog/Bull Terrier Huck, four-year-old cat Trixie and mother and son feline team Ozzie and Sarah.
