Burley - Barrister Fund Grant Program

“I am not sure I will get any help, but I can't afford to not try....
Burley’s x-rays show a complete tear”. Burley required TPLO ( tibia plateau
leveling osteotomy) to repair a cruciate ligament tear and the surgical
estimate ranged from $4,300.00 to $5,650.00. The Barrister Fund provided a
partial grant to subsidize Burley’s surgery.

The Barrister Fund was established in 2013 with Diane and Owen Lynch’s
founding donation in memory of their beloved Newf “Barrister”. Additional
donations continue to sustain this grant program.

The Barrister Fund provides grants to assist limited income/financially
stressed owners with Newfoundlands facing critical care veterinary
treatment in order  to prevent premature euthanasia or surrender to Rescue,
and to relieve the emotional strain on the owner.

At a recent Trust Board meeting the Barrister Fund Grant Program was
amended to reflect increased veterinary costs. Grants are available to
subsidize a secondary veterinary opinion, to confirm diagnosis and
prognosis, up to $500.00 and to support 50% veterinary treatment, up to
$2,500.00.

Since inception the Barrister Fund has provided veterinary care grants for
twelve Newfoundlands totaling $15,675.00.

With good care provided by his owners and veterinarians it is hoped that
Burley will recover fully and further surgery will not be needed. “Burley’s
post surgery x-rays were great and the surgeon is so pleased. A few more
weeks of leash walking in the back yard and then we can start increasing
his morning walk a bit each day.”

If you need financial help with veterinary costs to keep your Newfoundland
out of Rescue, contact the Charitable Trust for more information about
Barrister Fund Grants mlprice@mhtc.net.

Charitable Trust Research Update
The NCA Charitable Trust is continuing our commitment to heath research to
benefit Newfoundland dogs. The CTMB approved the following three studies at
through Morris for $5,000 each from the Charitable Trust Newfoundland
Health Challenge Fund:

D21CA-834 – Creating canine-specific cell lines to study hematopoietic and
immune diseases. Pilot study ($10,000). Rationale: good basic science, very
applicable to the Newfoundland.
D21CA-837 – E. coli Benefits from Co-infection with Enterococcus ssp. In
Canine UTI: Genetic Investigation and Clinical Significance. Pilot study
($10,800). Rationale: observational study, all samples at hand, likely to
generate more testable hypotheses, very applicable to the Newfoundland.
D21CA-820 – In vitro and in vivo evaluation of Staphylococcus felis as a
potential probiotic therapy for canine pyoderma. Pilot study ($10,800).
Rational: Work is doable, applicable to the Newfoundland and likely to lead
to testable hypotheses
Donor Inspired Study Report
The Donor Inspired Study request for proposals for SAS in Newfoundlands
resulted in the submission to Morris of one very promising study that is
currently in the scientific review process at Morris. If approved this
$50,000 research study for SAS in Newfoundlands will be funded from the
Newfoundland Health Challenge Fund and the SAS Stolen Heartbeats Fundraiser.

Celebrating 25 Years of Advancing the Health of All Dogs
In 2020, the AKC Canine Health Foundation celebrated their 25th anniversary.
The NCA Charitable Trust was a founding donor to the CHF.
Founded by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1995 as an independent, 501c3
non-profit organization to focus on research specifically for canine
health, the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) has been bolstered by
outstanding donor support and continues to make great strides in advancing
the health of all dogs. Through canine health research grants, educational
grants, conferences, educational and health resources, and more, the
physical, mental, and social well-being of dogs has always been our focus.

From mapping the canine genome to research initiatives exploring common but

complex diseases such as cancer, bloat, epilepsy, and tick-borne disease,
CHF finds and funds projects with the greatest potential to advance the
health of dogs.
The celebration included a video presentation “A Salute to 25 years,
featuring Dr. Anita Oberbauer.” WATCH NOW

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Newfoundland Club of America Charitable Trust <info@ncacharities.org> Date: Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 11:21 AM Subject: NewfCare: Research & Rescue To: <christopher.n.plum@gmail.com> Working toward a Safe and Healthy Future for Every Newfoundland February, 2021 NewfCare: RESEARCH & RESCUE Thank you for being a subscriber to the NCA Charitable Trust Newsletter, NewfCare: Research and Rescue. The NCA Charitable Trust will be publishing this newsletter quarterly providing you with research updates, rescue stories and other Trust news. Clyde Dunphy DVM, NCA CT Chairman Burley - Barrister Fund Grant Program “I am not sure I will get any help, but I can't afford to not try.... Burley’s x-rays show a complete tear”. Burley required TPLO ( tibia plateau leveling osteotomy) to repair a cruciate ligament tear and the surgical estimate ranged from $4,300.00 to $5,650.00. The Barrister Fund provided a partial grant to subsidize Burley’s surgery. The Barrister Fund was established in 2013 with Diane and Owen Lynch’s founding donation in memory of their beloved Newf “Barrister”. Additional donations continue to sustain this grant program. The Barrister Fund provides grants to assist limited income/financially stressed owners with Newfoundlands facing critical care veterinary treatment in order to prevent premature euthanasia or surrender to Rescue, and to relieve the emotional strain on the owner. At a recent Trust Board meeting the Barrister Fund Grant Program was amended to reflect increased veterinary costs. Grants are available to subsidize a secondary veterinary opinion, to confirm diagnosis and prognosis, up to $500.00 and to support 50% veterinary treatment, up to $2,500.00. Since inception the Barrister Fund has provided veterinary care grants for twelve Newfoundlands totaling $15,675.00.  With good care provided by his owners and veterinarians it is hoped that Burley will recover fully and further surgery will not be needed. “Burley’s post surgery x-rays were great and the surgeon is so pleased. A few more weeks of leash walking in the back yard and then we can start increasing his morning walk a bit each day.” If you need financial help with veterinary costs to keep your Newfoundland out of Rescue, contact the Charitable Trust for more information about Barrister Fund Grants <mlprice@mhtc.net>.

The CTMB approved the following three studies at through Morris for $5,000 each from the Charitable Trust Newfoundland Health Challenge Fund: D21CA-834 – Creating canine-specific cell lines to study hematopoietic and immune diseases. Pilot study ($10,000). Rationale: good basic science, very applicable to the Newfoundland. D21CA-837 – E. coli Benefits from Co-infection with Enterococcus ssp. In Canine UTI: Genetic Investigation and Clinical Significance. Pilot study ($10,800). Rationale: observational study, all samples at hand, likely to generate more testable hypotheses, very applicable to the Newfoundland. D21CA-820 – In vitro and in vivo evaluation of Staphylococcus felis as a potential probiotic therapy for canine pyoderma. Pilot study ($10,800). Rational: Work is doable, applicable to the Newfoundland and likely to lead to testable hypotheses Donor Inspired Study Report The Donor Inspired Study request for proposals for SAS in Newfoundlands resulted in the submission to Morris of one very promising study that is currently in the scientific review process at Morris. If approved this $50,000 research study for SAS in Newfoundlands will be funded from the Newfoundland Health Challenge Fund and the SAS Stolen Heartbeats Fundraiser.

The NCA Charitable Trust was a founding donor to the CHF. Founded by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1995 as an independent, 501c3 non-profit organization to focus on research specifically for canine health, the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) has been bolstered by outstanding donor support and continues to make great strides in advancing the health of all dogs. Through canine health research grants, educational grants, conferences, educational and health resources, and more, the physical, mental, and social well-being of dogs has always been our focus. >From mapping the canine genome to research initiatives exploring common but complex diseases such as cancer, bloat, epilepsy, and tick-borne disease, CHF finds and funds projects with the greatest potential to advance the health of dogs. The celebration included a video presentation “A Salute to 25 years, featuring Dr. Anita Oberbauer.” WATCH NOW <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00132cc2PuWxmRbL_Z7c6Eet92d8ITsESOsDQcsvhEDVC2R6iweLSK2QPIs5msOFzdNGIedJYgryEAfoTS-ORw-88N-42GlbhpR7qpxy0KDP7zzdGtpbOSSuiZG_4CjMKJtzv7nntnS7utdm3X4gow1hA==&c=eGcyzYgjvAEn4AHnv1tsNzej0xmCnyy0OjA462tuwQ9ihqrLr_gcpg==&ch=_17ydjUK_h6e8T0CGz-PTGA5RZbovzU45Nif-zBATfsXEdDn4A8Yfw==> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00132cc2PuWxmRbL_Z7c6Eet92d8ITsESOsDQcsvhEDVC2R6iweLSK2QPIs5msOFzdNGIedJYgryEAfoTS-ORw-88N-42GlbhpR7qpxy0KDP7zzdGtpbOSSuiZG_4CjMKJtzv7nntnS7utdm3X4gow1hA==&c=eGcyzYgjvAEn4AHnv1tsNzej0xmCnyy0OjA462tuwQ9ihqrLr_gcpg==&ch=_17ydjUK_h6e8T0CGz-PTGA5RZbovzU45Nif-zBATfsXEdDn4A8Yfw==> Sub Aortic Stenosis Update Campaign Update - Stolen Heartbeats Over $11,000 has been raised by dedicated Newfoundland owners, breeders and clubs to help fund research into this deadly disorder.
