---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Newfoundland Club of America Charitable Trust <info@ncacharities.org> Date: Wed, Jun 1, 2022 at 12:27 PM Subject: NewfCare: Research & Rescue To: <christopher.n.plum@gmail.com> Working toward a Safe and Healthy Future for Every Newfoundland 2nd Quarter 2022 NewfCare: RESEARCH & RESCUE Meet Bernie “Bernie” is 7 years old. He was surrendered to NCA Rescue in Ohio when his former owner’s landlord threatened eviction due to exceeding the two-dog limit in her apartment. NCA member Trudy Stroupe is providing his foster care while Bernie is treated for skin infections. Surgery for an undescended testicle and neutering will be scheduled soon. Veterinary care to prepare Bernie for placement is estimated at $945.00. Generous donors provide funding for Bernie’s care and many other Newfoundlands in our NCA Rescue program. Trudy reports, “Bernie is a very good dog, well-mannered and gentle and he listens! “ The decision to surrender a Newf is unthinkable for many owners. In many cases, these are not decisions made on a whim. The NCA Trust’s reputation for outstanding care of Newfoundlands gives owners comfort and confidence in their heart-wrenching decision to surrender their beloved dog in need. The surrender days are incredibly difficult for the families saying goodbye, and for the rescuers taking in the dog.

The Newfoundland Club of America Charitable Trust provides rescue services including veterinary care, foster care and rehoming of purebred Newfoundland dogs across the U.S. NCA Rescue works with NCA Regional Clubs’ rescue and NCA volunteers by providing rescue assistance and grants for Newfoundland care. NCA Newfoundland Rescue Network operates as part of the NCA Charitable Trust, a 501c3 not for profit organization. The Newfoundland Club of America, also a non-profit organization, and trustee of the NCA Charitable Trust, is recognized by the American Kennel Club to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of Newfoundland dogs. Newfoundlands become available for adoption from many sources including current owners, breeders, humane shelters, animal control agencies, veterinarians, etc. and are fostered by NCA volunteers across the country. Generous donations from members, bequests, grants etc. support the expenses associated with this work. The title "NCA National Rescue Network" has been used continually on the NCA Trust web pages, donation forms, NCA Rescue articles, etc. since NCA Rescue’s inception in 1983. Our NCA Rescue network has received many comments and complaints regarding confusion with a new rescue group with a similar name. These complaints are from NCA members, NCA Rescue and NCA Regional Rescue workers, adoption applicants, foster care providers and NCA Rescue Fund donors as well as current Newf owners considering surrender options. This new rescue organization named “National Newfoundland Rescue” is causing this confusion. Although implied on their website and social media pages, this organization is not affiliated with NCA National Rescue or any of our NCA Regional Club rescue networks. This organization also provides rescue services for Newfoundland mixed breed dogs and does fill a need in this area. The NCA Charitable Trust is our Purebred Newfoundland Rescue network <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015Ga_oocAa2xg1DI_sQ5TQqNH8Pdar8gBylFpVx_D-rvJPK3c8IQw-0m3T3oZDWteI045EiZU3Xs4Ca_X2vaw0PxMTIoXTcFUZrCN-u4QdKJTFXUrEDO_ZM-iurdgh9OvAT7m98Sf5LqVhUZeDZ_tkA==&c=z81UHY25QHyuNbSGbl1KXvFYJkI0oYa_XNcIS07Mqip2qFtxA2j-oA==&ch=1zlwC-AJtUi0OkTCVVUdbySVfJDGUHVEuF7WFYmuz1_0dfK7CA9M2w==>.

RAC is a committee under the NCA Charitable Trust. The RAC Chairman is Lori Littleford. Meetings are held by teleconference, email or Zoom™ as needed. RAC works in close contact with, but is independent of, the NCA Trust’s Newfoundland Health Challenge Committee and the NCA’s Health and Longevity Committee. RAC comprises the NCA Charitable Trust’s scientific resource for Research grant proposals and is instrumental in providing review and feedback regarding potential and active research projects for support by the NCA Trust, as well as opening and maintaining lines of communications within the research community. Duties and Responsibilities 1. Review research proposals for relevance to Newfoundland health priorities 2. Advise and make recommendations to the CTMB regarding the merits of proposals considered for the receipt of funding from the NCA Trust 3. For research projects funded by the NCA Trust independent of large funding organizations, such as the Morris Animal Foundation and the Canine Health Foundation, evaluate progress reports submitted to the CTMB to ascertain whether research progresses satisfactorily 4. Assist researchers, when appropriate, in recruiting subjects (dogs) to participate in research supported by the NCA Trust by placing appeals in Newf Tide, NewfCare: Research and Rescue or other electronic media.  A scientific or research background would be helpful but not required. Should you be interested in joining this committee please submit your information and short resume. If require further information, Please contact: Lori Littleford RAC Committee Chair <llilford@ix.netcom.com> Evolving Crisis in Ukraine The world watches the devastation of war unfold in Ukraine. The reports are heart-wrenching, describing injury, food shortages, and damage to homes and facilities in Ukraine. As hundreds of thousands of residents flee the country, the number of displaced animals also grows, along with the need for food, shelter, and emergency veterinary care. The animals and people of Ukraine certainly need help and many in the Newfoundland dog community are asking for guidance. Some Newfoundland dog owners have suggested that the NCA Charitable Trust donate some of its funds to help dogs in need in Ukraine. The mission of NCA Charitable Trust is to help Newfoundland dogs in need, and, while many dogs are certainly in need in Ukraine, the Charitable Trust Management Board has not identified a safe method to help Newfoundland dogs in Ukraine. Therefore, we believe the best way for you to help is to donate funds directly to the Ukrainian relief efforts of your choice. The NCA Charitable Trust Management Board is working to identify reputable organizations that are mobilizing to send emergency relief. Here is a list of organizations that currently we believe to be reputable and that accept donations to help the animals in Ukraine. More information will be provided as the Ukrainian crisis and relief effort evolves.
