We work closely together with the UK’s other two KC registered and recognised Newfoundland breed clubs namely the Southern Newfoundland Club and The Newfoundland Club to provide a nationwide network of welfare support.
Welfare Rescue and Rehoming
As with any breed, Newfoundlands sometimes need rescue or rehoming. However, because of their size and special needs the process is especially demanding with Newfoundlands. The need for rehoming often arises as a result of a relationship breakdown, changes in housing or employment or other unforseen circumstances. If for any reason you are no longer able to look after your Newfoundland we urge you to contact us for help.

A word of caution
We strongly recommend that persons wishing to support Newfoundland welfare and rescue specifically, should contact one or more of these UK Kennel Club registered and recognised Breed Clubs. There are currently independent groups offering rescue Newfoundlands for rehoming and requesting donations but please be aware that these groups are not registered or recognised as rescue organisations by the three KC registered Breed Clubs.
