Thank you everyone who offered help with Liam's transport.
Arrangements have been made for his trip to Ohio thanks to the generosity of a Newf lover who just happens to be driving from Toronto to Ohio this weekend. Liam is one lucky guy who gets to hitch a ride to his new home.
Thank you!

Need Help with Transport
We are trying to fill in a few remaining legs of a rescue transport for this Sunday, Sept 13 to help get a very special newf from Ontario, down to his new home in Ohio.
Here is the Proposed transport route for Liam. Here's the map with each leg broken down, showing roads, etc. We could break legs down further to accommodate drivers that can only fit in a shorter leg, but we are trying to keep this as stress free as possible for our special boy. He's been through a lot.
Times need to be verified. I am allowing 15 minutes for a potty break, drink and chin scratches between legs -- and am asking drivers to be at their pick-up location 15 minutes before scheduled driving time.
Sunday, Sept 13 -- if you know anyone who can help with a leg please have them contact me at blacknewfs@hotmail.com
A) 830 am -- 1130
Lindsay, ON to Niagara Falls, ON
Covered
B) 1145 -- 1
*Meet on Canadian Side of border preferably*
Niagara Fall, ON - West Seneca, NY
NEEDED
C) 115 - 245
West Seneca, NY -- Erie, PA
NEEDED
D) 300 - 515
Erie, PA - Akron, OH
Covered
E) 530 - 730
Akron, OH -- Zanesville
NEEDED
Thanks for any help you can offer to get Liam to his new life!

Foster Home Needed
We have an URGENT need for a short or long term foster home for a male newf.
This boy has loads of potential and needs a home with a handler who is skilled at working with dominant dogs and who is able to meet his high energy needs. This boy is an escape artist so needs a secure location. We are currently working with a behaviourist with this boy and will provide his foster/adoptive family with extensive info regarding handling skills, etc.
He should not be housed with other male dogs and is not suited to a home with children.

Calling All Artists!
Our 2010 calendars will be ready soon! Stay posted for details!
We are searching for Artists!
We are searching for Artists!
We're working on an exciting Newf Rescue fundraising project for 2011 featuring the work of artists who have depicted Newfs in their work. This can be pencil sketches, watercolour, oil, etc.
For 2011, rather than having a calendar of photographs we have decided to offer something a bit different......we are creating a calendar of Fine Art Images of Newfs, then holding an auction to auction off the original pieces that the artists have donated. To reach the largest audience we will likely be hosting the auction online so that our Newf Friends worldwide can participate. This calendar is going to be truly unique -- a collection of images created in different media -- truly one of a kind!
So far, we have confirmed a few Newf loving artists who are happy to participate in this fundraiser, and we are now looking for your help in finding a few more to help us complete this calendar.
12 artists will have their donated piece of art as the large feature image for the month, and will have their bio and contact info featured on that page. They will also be featured on our rescue site.
If we have more than 12 artists donate their artwork, then we will have a panel of judges select the 12 feature images, and all of the other artists' work will also be included in the calendar as the smaller images throughout the calendar. Again, their info will be listed in the calendar, and their bio will be posted on our website.
We would like to have our list of participating artists confirmed by September 30, 2009 with donated art submitted by January 15, 2010 Artists can use either one of their existing pieces, or create a new work for this project.
If you are interested in participating in the fundraiser please contact us at newf.friends@gmail.com Please cross post to other Newf loving artists who may be interested in being a part of this endeavour. If response is really strong, we may end up incorporating all of the images into a book as well.....but first step is our calendar!
We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank You!
Thank you for the tremendous response to our 2009 Newf Friends Rescue Calendar, your support is greatly appreciated.
We are now sold out of the '09 calendars and starting to take photos for the 2010 calendar which should be ready in a few months time. It is shaping up to be another gorgeous calendar featuring a wonderful collection of beautiful Newfs.
All proceeds from each calendar sold go directly to our Newf Friends fund which pays for spay/neuter and vaccines for rescued Newfoundland Dogs in Ontario, Canada.

Finally, the 2009 Newf Friends Newf Rescue calendars are ready to go!
The calendars are the same style as we used last year for the Canadian Newf Rescue calendars - extra large 12 x 18, high quality, high gloss paper, metal spiral binding across the top and over 50 full colour images!
Most of you will recognize at least some of this year's gorgeous models who include Matilda, Marin, Darcy, Volare, Murphy, Mary, Neptune, Ozzy, Bower, Zoë, Caera, and of course, no Newf rescue calendar would be complete without everyone's favourite Basset hound, Floyd.

A fun time was had by all!
Annabelle pulls the cart with two young passengers
We all had a great time at HART's woof walk, and the cart rides were certainly a big hit. Thanks to everyone who came out and made this day a huge success!
Not all of the animals were of the canine variety! Sparky was a big hit and drew loads of attention!

Upcoming Events!
See us at HART's 3rd annual Woof Walk in Bancroft on October 4 in Millenium Park! Lots of entertainment and great activities for the whole family. We will have some of our Newfs attending, so be sure to drop by for a visit!
We will also have our 2009 rescue calendars ready to go by then so be sure to pick up your copy while there. Many of you have been emailing asking about them and we will be ready for online orders in early October. We don't have a preview ready quite yet, but it promises to be another collection of beautiful Newfs (and one ridiculous Basset Hound!) Check back often for updates!
