Update - March 5, 2011

We've had quite the week here at Newf Friends, with a lot going on. Dogs have been arriving who are in desperate need and our volunteers have been driving Newfs across the province to foster homes. Applications have been reviewed, adoptive families have been interviewed, home visits done and several of the Newfs in our care have been adopted or have adoptions pending.

Still searching for a loving family of her own is this gorgeous gal.......

Beautiful Molly is simply adorable -- affectionate, friendly, silly, she's sure to make you smile. Molly loves people, and wants to find her forever home! Well mannered in the house, eager to please, devoted and loving, she is a real gem. This girl is looking for a home where she will get lots of love. Maybe she's the Newf you've been searching for?

Many of the Newfs who have recently arrived in our care have high medical needs. After caring for serious health issues in dogs like Mackenzie, Ruby, Penelope, Harold and others, our funds are getting low. Some of the new arrivals in our program have even more extensive medical needs and Donations are needed.
To donate please visit
HART's Canada Helps page and when making your donation state in the message section that the donation is for the Newf Friends Fund.

6 year old gal Jade is doing great and has settled into her foster home. She is an absolute doll, what a sweet girl. We will have her seen by an orthopedic specialist very soon and have surgery done to repair her damaged knee. Donations for her care are greatly appreciated.
Read about Jade here.

5 year old Ace has just arrived and is in the loving care of Dr. Janice who is going to help us get to the bottom of Ace's medical needs. There are a lot of things happening medically with Ace, but his tail is wagging, he is happy, lovable, laid back and such a great boy.
He will have a long road to good health and Newf Friends will be in desperate need of your support to help us pay for the diagnostic tests and treatment to help Ace get healthy.

Maggie the love bug was found as a stray and has been moved into our care. She is currently under assessment and more details will be available soon. Like Jade and Ace, Maggie is in need of some veterinary care.
