Hi folks!  Does anyone do, or know how to contact, someone who does Newfie
rescue?>>

This came off the NCA website:
Newfoundland Rescue Network

 The Newfoundland Club of America is a non-profit organization recognized by
the American Kennel Club to do all in its power to protect and advance the
interests of Newfoundland dogs.

It is the Club's belief that Newfoundland dogs should not be acquired
casually or disposed of lightly. However it is recognized that sometimes an
owner's circumstances change and the Newf is found to be unsuited to his or
her present home.

The Newfoundland Rescue Network maintains a waiting list of pre-screened
adoptive homes that are interested in acquiring a Newfoundland from the
Network. Placements in these homes are subject to a Placement Agreement
which requires that the adopted Newfoundland be spayed or neutered upon
placement and may not be used for breeding purposes. Adoptive homes also
agree that the Newfoundland's only function is to be a companion to the
family and no attempt may be made to use the Newf as an attack dog.

Newfoundlands become available for adoption from many sources including
current owners, breeders, humane shelters, animal control agencies,
veterinarians, etc. Generous donations from members, bequeaths, grants etc.
support the expenses associated with this work.

The Club welcomes a review of the Newfoundland Rescue program. Any questions
should be directed to the chairman of the Newfoundland Club of America's
Newf Rescue Network - Mary L. Price, 1004 Hwy 78 So., Mt. Horeb, WI 53572.
You may reach her by e-mail at mlprice@mhtc.net






  Just found two of them in a local puppy store, and my heart's
breaking for them.  I personally know of too many horror stories about
puppies that have been purchased there.  Anyway, if you know anyone who can
help, please let me know.  Thanks!
