Newfoundland Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Newton! Who has also gotten the nickname Fig!

If you've ever dreamed of having a big, fluffy best friend who doubles as a professional snuggle buddy, Newton may be your perfect match! We believe this gentle giant is a Newfoundland and Great Pyrenees mix - meaning he comes fully equipped with a soft coat, soulful eyes and a whole lot of love to give.

Newton can be a bit timid when meeting new people or when he's in an unfamiliar environment. But with a bit of time (and maybe a nice bonding walk), and you'll quickly see his loyal and affectionate side shine through. Once he feels comfortable, he's a total cuddle bug who enjoys being close to his people.

So far, Newton has been calm around other dogs at the shelter and has not shown any reactivity. He may bark every now and then if he wants your attention or sees another pup going out on a walk without him. We haven't had the chance to see how he does around cats quite yet.

Newton keeps his kennel impressively clean and hasn't had any accidents since arriving to the shelter - a great sign of good potty habits! The only "messy" habit to note is a little extra drool... but we like to call that just part of his charm!

If you are looking for a big-hearted companion who will reward your patience with loyalty, affection and plenty of cozy moments, Newton is ready to steal your heart!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Newfoundland Dog is a large and powerful breed known for their gentle and sweet nature. Originating from Newfoundland, Canada, these dogs are excellent swimmers with a thick water resistant coat. Their impressive size and strength make them ideal working dogs for water rescue missions. With a friendly demeanor and patient attitude, Newfoundland Dogs are great family pets, especially with children. Training and socialization are crucial for these intelligent and loyal companions to thrive.
