What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
NCA National Rescue Network
The Newfoundland Rescue Network maintains a waiting list of pre-screened adoptive homes that are interested in acquiring a Newfoundland from the Network. Placements in these homes are subject to a Placement Agreement which requires that the adopted Newfoundland be spayed or neutered upon placement and may not be used for breeding purposes. Adoptive homes also agree that the Newfoundland's only function is to be a companion to the family and no attempt may be made to use the Newf as an attack dog.
Newfoundlands become available for adoption from many sources including current owners, breeders, humane shelters, animal control agencies, veterinarians, etc. Generous donations from members, bequeaths, grants etc. support the expenses associated with this work.
NCA Newfoundland Health Challenge
The Newfoundland Health Challenge--an aggressive fund-raising campaign aimed at raising tens of thousands of dollars in the coming years to fund Newfoundland-related health research--was created to fight for better health within the breed.
During the coming years, Challenge funds may help scientists understand why dogs bloat, or discover a genetic marker for SAS or autoimmune disorders or epilepsy.
