The NCA Charitable Trust will be publishing a quarterly newsletter updating our donors with research updates, rescue stories and other Trust news. Our goal is to keep you informed on the activities and initiatives of the Trust that help create a safe and healthy future for every Newfoundland. Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter and supporting to the NCA Charitable Trust. Clyde Dunphy DVM, NCA CT Chairman Storm The NCA Rescue program depends on teamwork and many resources to provide the best care for Newfoundlands. A puppy producer surrendered Storm to NCA Rescue when she was no longer useful. Storm’s foster care provider quickly reported several concerns, “…. I am not sure if her vision is 100%. Storm fell right into the routine here and is now fearful and having trouble navigating and is refusing to step up one stair to the kitchen to eat, she is crying and very unsettled.” NCA Rescue maintains ongoing relationships with several veterinarians. Three veterinarians reviewed options and developed a treatment plan to repair severe entropion including two eye surgeries.  One veterinary ophthalmologist noted, “She’s also been diagnosed as being cross eyed and explained that she sees this condition in a lot of puppymill dogs who have never been outside of a small dark area. As the dogs try to adjust to their small darkened area to see, their eyes lose the ability to look further. It may get a bit better with time but overall Storm’s eyes most likely will never go straight again which is what is causing the third eyelids to not open completely.” Storm’s eye surgeries totaled $ 5,431.94, funded by NCA Rescue. Donors help to replenish the NCA Rescue Fund by their generous donations, applying for corporate matches, directing bequests and memorials, and other funding sources such as IRA distributions.

LeBlanc DVM, DACVIM & Timothy Fan DVM, PhD >From Karen Steinrock: "Our boy Tate (CH Old Bay's Lead Me to Temptation) was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his front leg this afternoon. We are devastated and still in shock, as he is only 7 yrs. old. The prognosis is quite poor. Will be lucky if he lives another month or so. It just breaks our hearts. For his remaining time, we shall just love him to death. Literally." Osteosarcoma is the most common bone cancer in dogs and one of the deadliest and most painful. Even with treatment, the survival rate for most dogs diagnosed with this cancer is less than one year.
