Fosters

Our love of the Newfoundland Dog breed has brought us to be very active in rescue work, both with Newfoundlands and All Breeds of dogs.

As founders of the Newf Friends Newfoundland Dog Rescue here in Ontario we are committed to helping Newfs in need.

We foster homeless dogs who are waiting for adoptive families.  These dogs live with us in our home and are included in all aspects of our daily life.  Some may only be here a couple of days as they await surgery or space at another foster home.  Others live here for many weeks while we search for their perfect adoptive family.  Some stay 6 months or longer as we nurse them back to health from serious injury or illness, and some live out their days in our home.

Our current fosters who are available for adoption are:

Adopted

Some of our fabulous fosters who have now been adopted into loving homes or lived out their remaining days in our care.

McKenna -- this sweet Wolfie didn't come to us as a foster, but rather as a 6 yr old rescue who we intended to have join our family as a permanent member of our pack.  Sadly, she was not able to live peacefully with our Basset, and for his safety a short while after she joined our home, we worked with Wolfie rescue to find a better match for her.  She found a fabulous family and is thriving in their loving care. 

Stella

Iggy - We loved him like one of our own and gave him the best life we could.  This special boy lived out his life in our care, passing away at the young age of 13 months due to a heart condition called subaortic stenosis.
