It operates as a separate entity established by the Newfoundland Club of Florida, both recognized by the Newfoundland Club of America.

Mission

The mission of the Newfoundland Rescue of Florida is to support the rescue and rehoming of Newfoundlands in need. This includes dogs from animal shelters and those relinquished by their owners. The organization relies on a foster-based system where volunteers provide temporary care for the dogs until they are placed in permanent homes. All rescued Newfoundlands are assessed for temperament, behavior, and health, and are provided with necessary veterinary care, including core vaccinations and spaying/neutering[1][2].

Operations

The organization is entirely dependent on donations for its operations, with no paid positions. Volunteers play a crucial role in fostering, referencing, and transporting the dogs[1][2]. This reliance on volunteers underscores the importance of community support to continue their work effectively.
