NCA Charitable Trust

[marylouz]

We are often asked, "What is the Charitable Trust?" In short, the Trust is you! It is the Newfoundland dog breeders, owners and supporters who pool their resources to make a difference in the lives of our beloved gentle giants every day.

The Trust supports activities of both Rescue and the Newfoundland Health Challenge. The National Rescue Network provides a safety net for regional club rescue groups and areas where no regional club exists to find safe and loving forever homes for Newfoundlands in need. The Health Challenge helps us raise the needed funds to support Research Grants to improve the health of future generations of Newfoundlands. We are currently focusing our research efforts on genetic research in SAS, Cranial Cruciate Disease and basic scientific research to help researchers develop the tools necessary for development of genetic markers.

The Research Advisory Committee of the Charitable Trust spends countless hours reviewing health research proposals submitted by independent researchers, the AKC Canine Health Foundation and the Morris Animal Foundation., the AKC Canine Health Foundation and the Morris Animal Foundation. By pooling our donations with those of other breed clubs, we have been able to fund several important studies this year including Osteosarcoma, Lymphoma and Sub-Aortic Stenosis.

Your donation today to the NCA Health Challenge ensures that we may continue to fund important studies to improve the health of all Newfoundlands in 2013.

A continuing tough economy meant high numbers of relinquishments to Newfoundland Rescue this year. Many dogs that were given up for financial reasons also suffered from medical conditions, since large vet bills are often the catalyst for a family on the edge to be forced into giving up a beloved pet.

Max was relinquished to the Newfoundland Club of Southern California. Needing bilateral elbow surgery, Max's usual Newfie nature was subdued by constant pain and discomfort. The high cost of surgery was outside of the financial capabilities of a regional club rescue group. Once again, The Newfoundland Rescue Network of the Charitable Trust was able to provide life-saving funds and a grant of $1800 for Max's to arthroscopic surgery on both elbows, the first steps in his new pain-free life. Your generous donation today helps dogs just like Max escape the pain and fear of relinquishment and go on to live long happy lives as beloved family members.
