If you are looking for a Newfoundland as a family pet, please consider adopting a Rescue Newfoundland. These Newfs are in need of a Forever Family - could you be the one? While these Newfs cannot be shown in conformation, they can participate in many other fun events and can become wonderful additions to families. How does the Newfoundland Rescue obtain dogs? Newfoundland Rescue clubs distribute thier phone numbers to vet offices, shelters, groomers, and other rescue groups. Most of the dogs are owner-surrendered. Reasons vary from moving, divorce, allergies, etc., to owners who think it's the dogs fault, for example, because he's untrained, barking, too hairy, slobbers too much, and so on. Sometimes the dogs are completely healthy, and other times they desperately need veterinary care.
