When we got Turbo he was only 72 lbs and now he is about 96 lbs and the vet says he is super healthy.  He loves to play pull with sticks and runs around very nicely with most dogs in our neighbourhood park. The funny beast does not like the water!  We really have to coax him to go swimming at the cottage.

November 18, 2013 : Victor was adopted!

Handsome boy Victor arrived at Newf Friends on October 5 and is doing great at his foster home.  He is a sweet, gentle, playful boy who has excellent house manners and is a pleasure to spend time with.

Victor has made fast friends with the other Newf in his foster home and the two boys are having great fun playing together. He has wonderful doggie social skills around  other dogs and could happily join a family where he had another well mannered playmate.


Victor is 7 years young and came to us through no fault of his own.  He  was surrendered to his vet when his family was no longer able to provide the care he needed.  Victor has some ongoing minor orthopedic issues including arthritis in his front right shoulder and arthritis in his back-end. He is taking an nsaid for this and is able to get around just fine.  His mobility is not impacted and he is able to romp and play.  You'd never guess that he is 7!  He is neutered and his vaccines are up to date.


Victor is recovering from some skin infections and with TLC, grooming and good food we have seen great improvement.  His coat is a bit of a mess from being shaved in spots, but it will grow back in nicely now that his infections have been treated.
To be considered for adopting Victor please complete an adoption application and return it to us via email.  Victor is being fostered in the Paris, On area and his approved family will be required to pick him up in person.

A reduced adoption donation of $400 applies to offset the cost of  Victor's pain meds.

UPDATE: September 1, 2014
Tank continues to undergo therapy to recovery from surgery.  Come and visit him at NewfStock later this month!

UPDATE: April 9, 2014
Tank underwent hip replacement surgery and all went well.  He has several weeks of recovery and rehab ahead of him.  Thank you to everyone who donated towards his care!


This sweet boy arrived on September 30, 2013 as an owner surrender. He is settling in wonderfully at his foster home and is proving to be a gentle, loving Newf, fantastic with all the other dogs and cats at his foster home. See for yourself in the video below... he just met all those dogs 5 minutes before the video was filmed. What a sweet boy!
Just 2 years old, Tank has orthopedic issues with his backend, which is why he was surrendered. His owners loved him but could not afford to address his health issues. Tank requires surgery to replace his hips and we are running a fundraising campaign to raise the funds for his surgery and rehabilitation.

Details on how you can donate towards Tank's Happy Hips Fund are posted here  -  please support Tank!



In this video you can see Tank on his morning walk. Despite his hip/knee issues he does enjoy toodling around with the other dogs and likes to get out and enjoy nature, just not for super long walks!

Tank is neutered, up to date with vaccines and was born on July 10, 2011.

Look at me in the snow last winter!

He is a true member of the family! Just took this pic -waiting for dinner. Loves his caned food mixed with kibble. 

 We 3 go to Georgian Bay beach everyday at 10am- he loves the car and waits by the door.He is a true gentleman!
I think he leaned over our dock to take a drink and fell in. He is a fine swimmer but prefers to wade in the water.


He loves everyone he meets and everyone loves him-Satch included! More pics soon!

Bonjour, je m'appelle Louis, but my friends call me Pork-chop. I just arrived at Newf Friends on Aug 17 and I am already making lots of friends and having a great time!

My coat was shaved down at the shelter

I was found as a stray in Quebec and was taken to a shelter.  Nobody came looking for me and I stayed there for many months.  The Newf folks heard about me and offered to help me find a great home.  Hooray! 

The rescue folks say I am kinda' chunky -- time to get exercising!

The vet estimates I am around 4 years old, and they think I am a mix, maybe Newf/lab.  I am 129lbs, but should probably be closer to 110 lbs.  My coat was shaved while I was at the shelter so the Newf folks said we'll have to wait and see what I look like when it grows back!  


I've met lots of other dogs on my journey to my foster home and I get along with all of them.   Ya, I'm a sweet boy!  I could join a family with another well mannered dog, no problem.  I also like cats!

I'm a happy fella!

 I'm super friendly and love to be petted and soak up attention.  Kids make me happy and I am well mannered and just an all around awesome fella if I do say so myself.   I am pretty darn perfect!

I'm bilingual and know basic commands, en francais!  I have nice manners and am an easy going boy.

I have been vaccinated, wormed and neutered.  I had a lump removed from my leg and the test results came back showing it is nothing to be worried about. Phew! 

I am being fostered in the Port Perry, ON area and the lucky family who get to adopt me will need to pick me up in person.  Because I am a mixed breed dog a reduced adoption donation of $400 applies.  If you think you'd like to adopt me, please complete an adoption application and email it back to the rescue folks. 

At Newf Friends we've had a large number of Newfs arrive in the last 2 weeks.  Some have been quickly placed into adoptive homes, others have health issues that will require treatment and they will be in foster care for a while.  Pictured above are the Newfs who are currently looking for homes through Newf Friends.

Read more about all of our available dogs here.

New arrival Maggie is doing great in her foster home.  She is getting along famously with all of the other dogs, and is an all around wonderful newf with a great temperament.  Great with animals, people, kids, you name it, Maggie is a real gem!

This 4 year old gal knows basic commands, and other than needing work on her leash manners she is pretty easy going.

Maggie arrived with a badly infected eye which we are currently treating.  She has a condition called dry eye which will require daily eye drops costing approximately $60/month.   We are in the process of clearing up her infections and getting the inflammation in her eyes under control.

Because this condition was not correctly treated previously she has suffered some permanent damage to her eyes and her vision has been impacted.  We will have a better idea of the extent of the damage once her infection is cleared.  She gets around fine and compensates for her decreased vision very well. 

Eye condition on intake

We will be bringing Maggie up to date on vaccines, and she has already been spayed.  She will be available for adoption once her eye infection is resolved.  She is being fostered in eastern ON and her approved family will be required to pick her up in person.  To be considered for adopting Maggie please complete the adoption application found in the forms section of our site.  An adoption donation of $500 will apply.
