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.
Michelle Jenkins
NNC Welfare Officer
The Northern Newfoundland Club is currently in the process of finding a new Welfare Officer. In the interim the club’s welfare will be overseen by Julia Ryan until the new person is identified and in post. Julia will take responsibility for bringing dogs into care and for finding them suitable new homes so whether you are in need of our help or would like to offer a Newfoundland a new ‘forever’ home, please contact Julia who treats all enquiries in the strictest confidence.

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.
