Why Rescue?
The Newfoundland is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. With their gentle temperament, caring nature, and sweet disposition, it’s easy to see why. However, this has led these gentle giants to be bred unethically, which can exacerbate health problems in the breed. Instead of buying a Newfoundland puppy from a puppy mill or unethical breeder, adopt one! There are so many rescues looking for love.
