As of 1/31/2008, the older newf being kennelled in Albany, the eight-month-old puppy, and the female newf found in Poughkeepsie have all been adopted into permanent homes! Thank you to everyone who helped us get these three furry friends placed! On behalf of our club's rescue effort, I am trying to update and organize the volunteer help provided by all of our breed’s Guardian Angels. Who are they? YOU! If you’ve ever done or would like to do any of the following: * House an orphaned Newf until a new home is arranged * Use up your lunch hour to go check on an impounded Newf * Groom a badly neglected coat * Bail a Newf out of a pound or unfit home * Evaluate a Newf or adoptive family for suitability * Transport a Newf from one facility to another * Any of the other little things that help us continue to help our breed Our club covers a huge area – Long Island and New York City to the New Jersey border and upstate into the Catskills. My goal is to set up an effective network so that we can reach every Newf that needs us. If you'd like to achieve the rank of "Guardian Angel – 1st Class", please take a few minutes, answer the following questionnaire and get this back to me. You can find my address at the end of the questionnaire. Please be sure to review the BMNC Rescue Policy document found here and also at the bottom of the list of documents below.
