Newfoundland NCA Rescue – Texas would like to introduce itself as a part of the NCA Charitable Trust rescue network. This rescue represents the completed transition of longstanding regional club rescue (OWNCRescue) to a direct arm of NCA Charitable Trust - bringing its intake, evaluation, and placement work under the Trust's established protocols while retaining the on-the-ground expertise built over years of rescue work in the region.
For fellow coordinators and volunteers across the network, Newfoundland NCA Rescue – Texas now serves as the designated intake point for Texas, and several neighboring states including Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, which have historically fallen outside any regional club rescue's coverage.
This closes the coverage gap for owner-surrendered dogs and shelter pulls for this region. Our rescue has already hit the ground running: Ten dogs adopted out to date, four dogs currently in foster, and a senior bonded pair awaiting intake into the rescue.
Jeri, unfortunately, is a good representative of our intakes. Jeri, a four year old male, came into our rescue because his family had a loss of work and needed to move and downsize. Jeri came in weighing 85 lbs and we quickly learned he had a series of other issues. He had ear infections, a skin infection, digestive worms, heart worms and all 20 pads on his feet were profoundly burned due to living outside on concrete in the Texas heat. With much care, Jeri is making a full recovery and is scheduled to head far North to live out the rest of his life with a wonderful adoptive family that include two children and another Newf. They will make sure he is well cared for and never too hot again.
