Rescue NL

Rescue NL We are a non-profit organization that operates under a no-kill policy lead by a board of directors with many years of combined animal rescue experience.

Rescue NL began operation in May 2015. We are an incorporated non-profit organization that operates under a no-kill policy. We take in animals that have been seized by the authorities (RCMP or RNC), surrendered by their owners, or transferred from another shelter where the animal has reached their holding limit and they are scheduled to be euthanized. Our animals are currently held in a network of

foster homes and a shelter that is not open to the public. All of the work that Rescue NL undertakes is done by volunteers, the only payment here is in tail wags and licks.

So Proud of our Manitoba Rescue friends who fought and continue to fight for the animals.

Yesterday was a big day, Bill 19 was passed!!

This means stronger legal protections for animals, tougher penalties for abuse, and more oversight of pet breeding and sales than before.

We hope that our Newfoundland government will soon see the value in animals and follow suit.

Remember Chloe?

We took her in, in January with Rosie the Golden (she passed unfortunately) from Burin. Neither had lived a great life. We didn’t have great expectations that Chloe would last long, given her ripe age of 14yrs, not being spay, having a large inoperable tumour on her neck and a mammory tumour. But here she is living her best life with her amazing foster family.
Sometimes all you need is love!!!💕

Stevie has been living her best life…… ice cream, walks, drives, visits and naps! 
We are a little concerned that along with being blind she may not hear well, but she don’t seem to care and is a happy puppy. ❤️

🚨 Foster or Adoptive Home Needed This Week 🚨

Meet Bubba. This handsome Cane Corso is just 1 year old, neutered, and ready to find his forever family!
Bubba is a gentle giant with the sweetest soul. He loves spending time with his people and enjoys playing with doggy friends. While he can be selective with male dogs, he does well with female dogs. He has also been around cats and doesn’t seem to pay much attention to them.
Bubba would thrive in a home where he gets lots of love, attention, and quality time with his family. A fenced yard would be a huge bonus for this cuddly guy. Bubba would be especially happy to share your bed if you let him!
If you think Bubba could be the perfect fit for your family, please head over to www.rescuenl.com and fill out a general adoption application.

**Bubba is in the metro area, but we can adopt as far as Nova Scotia**

** Please include two references at the bottom of the application to speed up the process.

*** Also, please note: only selected applicants will be contacted

Stevie the Wonder Puppy had a wonderful weekend. She went to her first birthday party and she had the most fun with her doggie friends
🎂🍔🎁🎈🎉🥳
She also visited her vet and she now weighs in at 28.4lbs @ 13wks old. Stevie is a growing girl and she is thriving. Blindness is not slowing her down. ❤️

It’s been a while since we asked for help, but we are really feeling the stretch. With all the new intakes and their medical needs, plus flights and supplies (food, collars, etc). And did you know it’s $907 just to spay a dog 46-80lbs now? 👀 So, every cent really do help

Stevie the Wonder Puppy ❤️

Imagine being born into a world of darkness — a world that already feels cold and unwelcoming. A place where nobody wants you simply because you’re different. Because blind puppies are often overlooked, unwanted, and left behind.
Poor Stevie didn’t have the best start in life. She was the puppy nobody wanted — the blind puppy nobody chose. But to us, like every animal we rescue, she had value. She deserved love, safety, and a chance.
When we were asked, “Nobody wants her. We can’t keep her. Can you take her?” our answer was easy.
Of course we said yes.
And that was the beginning of Stevie the Wonder Puppy’s journey with us.

Since bringing Stevie into our care, we’ve been working with an optometrist who will be evaluating her next month when he visits the Province. We’re hopeful there may be something that can help improve her vision, but we also understand the reality that she may remain blind. No matter the outcome, it won’t change how loved she is.
Right now, Stevie is staying with a wonderful foster while we continue learning about her medical needs. She’s already seen the vet, received her vaccinations and deworming, and is doing all the regular puppy things.
We’re making sure she has everything she needs to thrive — including a special harness and leash (on order) and even stairs to help her safely climb onto the bed… because of course that’s exactly where she belongs.
And she’s doing amazingly well.
Stevie is incredibly smart, brave, and full of love. Every day she learns a little more, trusts a little deeper, and reminds us that being different never makes a life worth any less.
We love her very much, and we can’t wait to watch her future unfold.

If you would like to contribute to Stevie’s care, please emt to [email protected] and put Stevie in the message

Stayed tuned for more updates on Stevie as she continues to grow. ❤️
