Foster/Adopt a Newf in need!

Happy New Year! As always the need for Rescue has no set schedule. We have two different male dogs needing our help in KY. If you are available to foster or would like to adopt please let us know. We have had some changes to our application process so if you have filled out an application with us please let us know if you’re still interested in adopting/fostering.

Added info:

A 6 1/2 yo male, neutered, house trained, protective of stolen people food as he likes to surf the trash. Great with kids and other dogs/cats. Losing home because of to many pets and he doesn’t get the attention he needs.

A 2 1/2 year old male, neutered, not good with chickens. Losing home no fault of his own. Crate trained, will jump on people but easily redirected, housetrained, good with kids.

UPDATE- A FOSTER HOME HAS BEEN FOUND. THANK YOU FOR THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT!

URGENT NEED FOR FOSTERS- we have a young male and young female Newfoundland that need to come into rescue immediately because of family medical issues. Per the owner, both are average energy, good with most dogs, and both are good with kids and adults. They are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines. One dog has some allergy challenges, which SCNR will work with the foster home to treat. They do not have to be fostered together. Please let us know if you are interested, either here on this page or by emailing [email protected] Thank you!

SCNR needs your support at our annual Christmas Tree Pull at Dull's Tree Farm in Thornton IN on December 7th & 8th! This is our 21st year!!!! Please let us know if you can be there to pull. It's helpful to the club if you have a harness, and if you have a wagon or a sled that can haul in trees, that would be great! It is a wonderful event full of memories, friends and Newfies. Hours for pulling are Saturday 9-4, Sunday 1-4. The farm is open till 6 each day. Pullers need to be ready before the farm opens or else getting in is near impossible!— with South Central Newfoundland Rescue.

Reminder our Tree Pull is coming soon!!!! Please come to Dulls Tree Farm in Thorntown IN on December 7th 8-4pm or the 8th 1-4pm. Dogs needed to help pull trees and for "meeting and greeting" people who come to the farm to see our Newfies. This is a wonderful event to start the holiday season.

SCNR has several dogs needing to come into foster care, and we are in desperate need of available foster homes.
Whether you have not fostered before, or have fostered many times in the past, PLEASE consider becoming one of our foster homes! Without foster homes, we cannot serve these Newfs in need.
Even if you have already done so in the past, please go to our website and fill out an application: www.scnewfrescue.org
Any and all applications will be appreciated, and you are welcome to indicate what kinds of problems you are/aren't willing to manage.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED FOSTER
for a hard-headed yet gentle 8 year old boy. He chases donkeys and horses, but not chickens, ducks or goats. He prefers staying outdoors and loves playing in his kiddie pool. He has some arthritis and can be a bit of a grumpy guy, but we think he just needs a stable, loving home without young kids, and he may prefer men to women.
If you are interested in fostering this guy, please go to our website and fill out the application to foster.
THANK YOU!
