     We had been watching for a Newfoundland to adopt for a couple months since our older one passed away and our two year old Newfie needed a companion. We saw the post on Rescue Me for a nine month old Newfie/Border Collie cross and were interested. I emailed with a couple of questions and got an email and a phone call back. When we met up with the family and the dog, our dog and theirs immediately started to play together. This is what we had been waiting for, our dog had been lonely since the loss of our other Newfie. Now that we have him home it is like they have been together forever running and wrestling together, it's wonderful. The family we got him from was very nice and even though sad to see him go are happy that he went to our home with a new friend, a large fenced in yard, and lots of time to be spoiled.

     Thank you so much for creating this web site. I posted Thursday and had several responses by the end of the day. I talked with several people and this morning the family took him home. Hank has been matched with such a sweet family and they all seem just right for each other. It was crazy. I received inquiries from Washington state, Maryland, and North Carolina. What a great idea you had to facilitate great futures for animals and their new families! Thank you, Rescue Me!

     I couldn't have been more pleased with the results I received from Rescue Me! No less than two dozen people inquired and still getting back to them all. It is so difficult to have to give up my love for people that just don't understand puppies in my apartment complex. I was okayed to bring Leo in as a therapy dog in training. When people complained I was given an ultimatum to find him a new home or be evicted. Not that easy to find complexes that accept dogs. Leo, thanks to Rescue Me, found a forever home about three hours from me with visitation rights. He has another Newfie to play with and two other dogs on seven acres and a new loving family that loves him. Thank you for being here at such a heartbreaking time.

     I have been getting alerts for Newfoundlands from Rescue Me for about a year by email and Facebook. We have had a handsome Newfie for over two years who serves as my service dog. Our cats were not completely friendly toward him and I feared he was getting bored just hanging out with me all day. My husband didn't want to raise another baby puppy so we were looking at the one year old range. We came across 'Brave' who was two hours away and had already been rescued from a dire situation by a loving family. They didn't intend to keep him forever, but knew they had to save him and start getting him healthy. The four pet parents met as did our two Newfies and a match was made. We discovered through his paperwork that he shares the same father as our first baby boy. A genetic match made in heaven. With a true baby brother by his side, my first has gained a spring in his step and more confidence, and the little one has matured to match his big brother. Thank goodness for colored collars, they are hard to tell apart! They play with each other and annoy each other, but I know they definitely love each other, and we love them.

     What a wonderful site to bring pets and new owners together. I was overwhelmed by the flood of good people willing to give Yeti a home. This is my second dog to rehome with Rescue Me. It broke my heart to let them go, but they went to wonderful homes for one on one attention they needed and deserved. Thanks Jeff, and Rescue Me, for the great job you are doing for these animals and owners!

     We were successful in finding Titan a new home thanks to Rescue Me! I was pleasantly surprised by the response with this site! I was expecting to get one or two phone calls. Within two hours, the phone started and it didn't stop for two days. As well as 85 emails received. Incredible! You have built quite the outreach. Thank you so much for your site. We were able to reach a couple who have had 11 Newfoundlands over a 40 year period! So we can rest easy knowing that Titan will be with someone who knows the dedication that Newfie's desire. Thank you again, Rescue Me!

     I submitted my post for my Newfoundland, Zeus. Within hours, I had numerous inquiries; phone and email. I actually had over 150 calls and at least that many emails. I was overwhelmed with the responses! I had a family that was a great option for Zeus within less than 12 hours of my post on Rescue Me. Zeus went to live with a wonderful family which had large breed experience, they already have a Newfie. Zeus loved them the minute he met them.

     When I got on Rescue Me and saw Reno's picture, I showed him to my husband and he agreed we should look at Reno. I got in contact with the shelter where he was to make sure he was still available and he was. We are so lucky that we ended up with him, he is so calm and mellow. He has bonded with me and adores my daughter. We are so happy with him! Thanks, Rescue Me.

     Iglu is doing great in a place for senior dogs. He is living on a farm and horse rescue, a very countrified place with lots of green. We get periodic updates, in all of which Iglu is grinning from ear to ear. They also took our cat, who climbs in bed with the owner/manager. Iglu gets tons of attention and exercise and loving care. All thanks to Rescue Me! Kudos. It was hard to part with our pets (due to medical reasons on my part), but it's very reassuring to know that they are in such kind and loving hands.

     Swarley found a great home! I'm glad that this website helped him find a home so quickly. I was able to meet the family and see where he would be living. Whitney has been taking great care of him and has been sending me pictures so I can see how happy he is! Thanks Rescue Me for helping me find a loving home for my dog! I'm still a little sad for having to give him up, but I know that the family that took him is going to love him as much as I do.

     Storms medical needs were close to not being met. Divorce is really hard on families and pets. I tried my hardest to maintain my loving girl's health needs, but vets and medication costs can add up quickly. Through the support of Rescue Me! and my local Newfoundland rescue group, I was able to find a loving adopter who will be able to take care of Storm's needs. I had several inquiries through Rescue Me!, and it wasn't easy choosing who'd be the best fit. But after talking with the applicants' vets, I was able to make a good and informed choice for Storm's best interests. Thank you.

     Thanks to Rescue Me!, Coal found a great home. I posted him on the site only two days ago and the calls and emails flooded in. I have spoken to so many wonderful families looking to give Coal a home. We decided to choose a family in the Cleveland area in case there would be any issues, however, I could tell they are a perfect match. Thank you to all who have responded and I hope you find your new family member. If you need to place your pet in a new home, definitely use this site! I heard from families across the states, from California to Maine. So many families are willing to open their homes to save these animals from shelters or worse. So before you give up on your pet, try Rescue Me! first, it's amazing!

We talked a couple of times, and then set up a time and place to meet. We drove 4 hours to met Sasha, and immediately fell in love with her along with my other dogs when we got her home. I could not imagine my life without her, she is a gentle giant and everybody that meets her loves her. She goes swimming everyday and walks twice a day. She could not hold her head higher, she is so proud. Thank you so much Rescue Me! for allowing success stories like these to take place.

Hagred has given us many years of great friendship and helped my son through truly tough times. He is now going to bless another family the way he blessed us, although our hearts break to see him go, we know through interviews, visits and his response we have made the correct choice.

     I want to thank Rescue Me for making this site available! I have successfully adopted 'at risk' dogs because of this site to wonderful places and homes! The most recent is Buddy! I drove to Eugene, OR and met a wonderful teacher from Portland- and knew it was a match! I had a lot of interest! What is nice about this site is that we volunteer at various shelters and are moved with passion- and desperation to save these animals from the 'alternative' and sometimes perhaps to hasty, not wanting the animal to be euthanized,- we jump at the first who is interested! But having this site affords us an audience that allows us to be discriminating! Thank You! Raleigh, Volunteer for all dogs in need- and formally with the Josephine County Or animal shelter!

     I would like to thank Rescue Me for helping Tahj find a new home. I met some wonderful people who were caring and compassionate. This was the best and easiest site to use. I would recommend it to anyone having to face the devastating fact of giving up a pet that you love. I spoke with people in Washington state, Rhode Island, Texas, California, and Ohio. This site really opened my options and let me choose the perfect home for Tahj. I can't thank you enough for setting up Rescue Me and taking some of the burden of placing Tahj for adoption. You're doing a great thing! Tahj went to a family in Ohio who recently lost their Newf of 9yrs. They were so excited to find her and I felt very comfortable with Bill, Linda and Kerry taking her. I know they'll love her and treat her well.

     I was at my wits end and low and behold I get an email from Rescue me! I adopted Rocco last year and He is a wonderful dog! He had a fenced yard and the run of the house. Then.....we made a move to Illinois and no more yard and no more free time to spend with our good boy. He had been tearing up the house and I could not keep him contained in anything but a locked bathroom. That is no life for my good boy! I was devastated when I came home one day and he had jumped on the stove to get a package of soy sauce off of the microwave and turned on the burner, burning a cloth grocery bag a set of grilling tongs and the spoon rest. Lucky to still have a house. I did not know what else to do so I called the local pound. He was set to be put down this morning and I get a text from a wonderful couple that has a stay at home mom and a 14 year old son. The response I got from my post was so fast it was overwhelming. I am so glad we did not have to have him put down! I thank rescue me for being so prompt and caring.

     Dear Jeff, Our Abbey has been adopted! As sad as we were to have to find a new home for Abbey, we are happy to announce that she is now living with a wonderful, dog loving couple in Oregon. Your site opened up many windows of opportunity for Abbey. Living in Oklahoma, there are very few Newfies and most people are just not familiar with the breed. Within hours of posting on your site, people from all over the United States were contacting me about adopting Abbey. One woman in particular called me and touched my heart with her many dog stories. Yesterday, I loaded Abbey in a very large crate and headed for the airport. She arrived safe and sound in Oregon several hours later and her new family just called to let me know how wonderful she is doing. Thank you for your site and best of luck!

Each one was very sincere and very knowledgeable. Punkin Head did go to his new home last Sunday, for a vet appointment on Monday and now to a home filled with love. Our family enjoyed the experience of caring for him through the winter. We may never know where he came from... but thanks to RescueMe.Org we know he is safe now. Reva Sheffield

     Jeff, Thank you for this. When we realized we had to give Olaf up, we were really worried about finding a family that would love and care for Olaf and realize the unique breed of Newfoundlands. No sooner had I posted Olaf's name on the site and I was receiving emails from individuals whose spirit I recognized, a spirit that loves dogs and realizes the pain of giving one up. Every email I exchanged (and I assure you it was close to 50 in less than a week) was compassionate and excited and thoroughly interested in not only adopting Olaf but joying in his eventual placement. Several people even offered to keep him for a bit until we re-settled after graduate school (the reason for his placement). Thank you for this service, I hope many more benefit from it as I have. regards, Dan

     Hermosa was adopted! Using the Rescue Me site was a wonderful experience. We were fostering Hermosa for a friend who could no longer take care of her. Although we fell in love with her, we did not have adequate room for her to run and play the way a puppy needs to do. She seemed happy here, but we were looking for an even better place for her to stay. We fostered Hermosa for almost a year and tried to find another family to take her by word of mouth and by posting her on other websites. Each day, we were falling more in love with her and knew the longer we had her, the more attached we would become. So, I stumbled upon the Rescue Me website. Once I found it, I easily posted a description and picture and someone contacted us the next day. This was one of those 'God had a hand in this one' stories. A family in North Carolina had a 6 year old Newfoundland/Lab mix who got cancer in her leg. They were going to have to amputate to save the dog's life and they ended up losing her in the surgery. Obviously, the family was heart broken as they thought they would have her for years to come since she was so young. The oldest daughter, Ryan, began asking for another dog like the one they had lost. Her parents told her that if she saved up her allowance, and found a dog to rescue, then she could have it. So, Ryan worked hard and saved $50. Then, without her parents knowledge, she placed a letter in the mailbox of a woman who lives down the street who rescues dogs. The letter told the story and asked if she new of a Newfie or Newfie mix that she could have. Well, the woman only rescues small dogs and had nothing like what the girl was looking for. Moved by the letter, the woman told her grown daughter, Jennifer, the story. Jennifer then saw our dog's picture (Hermosa - a Newfie/Lab mix) and contacted us. The story gets even better....the family lives in NC and we live in Atlanta, GA. Jennifer just so happened to be coming to Atlanta the very next week for job training! She put us in touch with Ryan's family and we answered their questions and go to know them a little better. We decided they would be a good fit for Hermosa and they decided she would be a good fit for them. One week after posting Hermosa on Rescue Me, she had a new happy home. Hermosa now lives in another state and we are staying in contact with her new family. She has 3 acres of land to run around and play on and 2 other puppies to play with as well. The family called to tell us when Hermosa arrived that she is identical to the dog they lost last year - all black, cute as can be, identical personalities, and a Newfie/Lab mix. They couldn't be happier and we couldn't have found a better place for Hermosa. Rescue Me was definitely a God sent way for us to make our pet and 2 families very happy! Thank you for all that you do! Sincerely, Jillian Palmiotto
