A friend from St. Thomas lost her husband this week. They were animal lovers, and we'd like to send a memorial gift to a pet rescue group there. I'm in the U.S. and found the names of a couple of groups, but if anyone has personal information about a good all-breed rescue or shelter in the area...

My newfs and my mixed breed eat Canidae chicken and rice and do great on it. (One had soft stools on the ALS but all is now wonderful!) My French bulldog, however, had TERRIBLE gas on both. I tried several other foods, a month or so at a time, and I was still afraid a HazMat team was going to...

from Annie the newfy reindeer and Spike the frenchie grinch !

Kofi has been diagnosed with bilateral cruciate disease. At first they thought he had tick-bourne illness but all titers were negative, and yesterday he was x-rayed and has some arthritis in his elbows and changes indicative of cruciate tears. They also got drawer movement and laxity under...

Anyone use it? Or heard anything (positive or negative) about it?

My poor Kofi started having trouble getting up a couple of weeks ago. Once up, he moved as though something hurt, with his back slightly hunched. Appetite good, and he had periods when he seemed much better. Of course this started on Sat. I gave aspirin and restricted his activity. Monday am he...

I just heard from a woman who wants to adopt a rescue newf. But she also wants to breed one of her current dogs, a pyr mix, because the dog "wants puppies so much." How can I convince her that she doesn't really want to have "just one litter?" I'd appreciate any good arguments, including dangers...

I thought these people disappeared a year ago, but they're back with a new website and the same old garbage about creating "new breeds." http://www.tikkundogs.com/Pyreneuf.html

For those of you in rescue (or who have rescue dogs) - do most rescue groups pass along registration papers? (AKC or other registries) Why or why not?

I'm fostering a female rescue newf who just weaned a litter of puppies. She's losing hair by the handful. I'm used to newfs blowing coat, but this isn't just undercoat. She has patches that are almost bare. The skin looks pink and healthy, and the vet doesn't seem concerned, but I wondered if...

If anyone's planning to go to the regional in Milwaukee tomorrow from the MPLS/StPaul area, please let me know. We're trying to get a rescue boy to an NCA foster who will be at the show.

I know of a young male newf rescue in the MSP/StPaul area. He's a sweetie. Please pm me for more info.

I was just curious - many shelters and private rescues do not pass along AKC papers to adoptive homes. For some shelters it's a privacy issue to protect the surrendering party, and in some cases it's to help ensure that the dogs aren't bred, although I think most reputable rescues require the...

I am fostering a young male newf who may have some special needs. We are hoping to find a wonderful home for him in the upper Midwest. (He's in the Mpls/St Paul area.) He is being fostered through a private rescue and prospective homes will be carefully screened. Our hope is to find a great...

is there a way that people looking to adopt a rescue could connect with folks who have(or might have in the future) rescues on this site? Or is that best left to other venues?

From: Donna [mailto:dpalen@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 3:55 PM Subject: Transport help from Des mMoines IA on northward For this Sunday. Nicoli is an adult male Newfoundland who turns 2 yrs old on 9/23. We need to get him up to his foster (and prospective adopter's) home in...

Recently I saw an ad in the local paper for newf pups. Since my area has several "breeders," ranging from the reputable to outright puppy mills, sometimes I call and ask a few questions just to get an idea of what's happening in the area. The advertiser has a web site which was pretty but not...

I don't know what's going on in this area, but I know of 3 purebred male newfs that have come in to local rescues/shelters in the last month. I'm active at a large shelter and two rescue groups, and have never seen anything like this. The regional club has a couple of members struggling to stay...

I wasn't sure which forum I should put this in! I am going to foster a sweet beautiful newfy boy while he goes through treatment. (He's heartworm positive.) He's 2-3 y/o, and I've been told that he's a "Little Sir Marks-A-Lot," marking all over the place at the shelter where he is now. He was...
