Newfoundland Dog Resources
Welcome to our Newfoundland Dog Resources area! As passionate Newfie enthusiasts, we understand the importance of having access to reliable and informative resources. Whether you’re a seasoned Newfoundland dog owner or just starting your journey with these gentle giants, this page is a curated collection of links to reputable Newfoundland clubs and organizations.
Featured Links:
- Newfoundland Club of America (NCA) – The NCA is dedicated to the betterment of the Newfoundland Dog breed. Their website offers a wealth of information on breed standards, health, and rescue efforts. Visit NCA
- Newfoundland Club of New England (NCNE) – A regional club focused on promoting the health and welfare of Newfoundlands in New England. They offer resources on training, events, and breed-specific advice. Visit NCNE
- That Newfound Place – That Newfoundland Place Inc. is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. Specifically, this organization has been formed to prevent cruelty to animals. Our mission is to offer quality of life to senior dogs of various breeds, to assist in rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of dogs in need, with a focus on Newfoundland dogs, and to provide humane education as related to care and life quality of animals. Visit That Newfoundland Place
- National Newfoundland Rescue – National Newfoundland Rescue Inc. was founded by a group of Newfoundland Rescue volunteers with a combined total of over 60 years of rescue experience. After working with breed club and other rescues for many years, it became apparent that there were still holes in the rescue community that needed to be filled, primarily in the areas where they don’t have a local Breed Club Rescue, or in cases where there is a Newfoundland Mix in need (most of the regional clubs only accept purebred Newfoundlands). With this in mind, National Newfoundland Rescue was born! Visit National Newfoundland Rescue
We hope you find these resources helpful in your journey with your Newfoundland dog. Remember, being part of the Newfie community is about sharing knowledge, experiences, and the love we have for these magnificent dogs. If you have suggestions for other valuable resources, feel free to contact us!
