A call for help!
|
It feels
great to help a Newf-in-Need, and even better to be part
of a happy ending for a rehomed Newfoundland.
There is much to be done because in a twinkling CNC
Rescue can be called upon to mobilize, and you are
needed to make it work throughout our club’s region!
So… here’s my list. Pick one, pick them all, but please
pick something—just think of the Newf whose world is
turning upside down, and that you have the ability to
help make it come ‘round right!
Visit a Humane Society/SPCA or kennel or pet store
(taking digital photos if necessary)?
Do a home check within CNC guidelines?
Foster (at least two weeks?) in preparation for a
permanent placement with one of our adoption applicants?
(temperament evaluation is crucial!)
Make phone calls?
Be part of a relay using a Newf baton?
Assist w/getting a Newf to a veterinarian? (Actually,
would you be willing to ask your veterinarian about
providing discounted care and services for CNC Rescues?)
Anything else?
Ready? Great. Please e-mail your choice(s) to me and I
will keep you posted about your important contribution
to the CNC Rescue NewfWork.
Thank you kindly,
Dotty Hudson
