Update: January 16, 2012

Here's what we've been up to over the last week!

Sweet girl Rosie is doing great in foster care. We've received loads of applications for her and will be screening this week to find her very best match. Read her bio here.

Adorable fella' Tyson is also doing terrific and is searching for a loving family to call his own. Read about Tyson here.

Love bug Thunder is simply adorable -- look at his gorgeous brown coat! He has settled well into foster care and hopes to find a home soon. Thunder's bio can be seen here.

Sweet boy Tycho has been waiting far too long for a home. This sensitive boy just needs someone to love him. Do you have room in your heart for this gentle giant? Please consider opening your home to this loving boy. He needs a family. Read his bio here.

Goofy boy Marvin went for his cherry eye and neuter surgery this weekend. He did well and is recovering in foster care. If you're looking for a playful, goofy, active Newf, Marvin's your boy! His bio can be read here.

Sweet girl Beatrice is doing great in her foster home and is ready to find a loving family. This awesome girl is gentle, well mannered, gets along with everyone and is ready to find a perfect home. She is a dream Newf, sweet as can be! Read about her here.

Handsome boy Inti is doing awesome in foster care. This boy is a wonderful dog and will make an excellent companion for a loving family in search of a friendly, calm Newf to hang out with. Don't miss out on a chance to make this senior part of your family! Read all about him here.

River is ready to find a home! Her follow-up x-rays look good and her treatments are now complete. She still has some weeks of rehab ahead of her, but the exercises can be done in her adoptive home. Applications are now being considered. Read about River here.


Cutie pie Paris was adopted by a great family. Way to go!

If you or someone you know is looking for a new canine family member that isn't a Newf, be sure to visit HART, our parent all breed rescue group's PetFinder listings. They've got wonderful dogs of all shapes and sizes, coats and ages who are waiting for great families to adopt them.
HART is also in need of foster homes across Ontario! HART rescues a large number of dogs and the need is great for foster families -- they can only save the lives of those dogs they have a foster space for, and their foster homes fill up quickly. If fostering Newfs isn't for you, then consider fostering for HART's all breed program where many smaller dogs are in need of loving foster homes. You can download the application here.
