What is a Newfoundland dog rescue?

A Newfoundland dog rescue can be any group or organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned, lost, unwanted and stray Newfoundland dogs and puppies. Most animal rescue groups are run by non-profit organizations and volunteers.

Unlike animal shelters, which have an open-door policy, most dog rescues have limited admissions. They do not put dogs to sleep to make room, but use boarding kennels and foster homes for dogs. The adoption fees for rescue groups are also higher, but reasonable, because they put so much attention, care and love into each animal. Individuals who want to adopt pets from animal rescue groups often need to fill out adoption application forms and go through interviews and home evaluations to ensure that the dogs are going to have a safe and happy home.
