Welcome to the Newfoundland Club of Florida...

The Newfoundland Club of Florida (NEWFFLA) is a regional club of the Newfoundland Club of America with members hailing from the Panhandle to South Florida. NEWFFLA is dedicated to encouraging and promoting the Newfoundland breed. Our members are very active throughout Florida in carting, agility, rally, conformation, obedience, water activities and just plain, fun-filled Newf social events.

Established in 1994, the Newfoundland Club of Florida (NEWFFLA) is a not-for profit organization recognized by the Newfoundland Club of America to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of Newfoundland dogs in the State of Florida. Part of that commitment includes a rescue and placement network to provide a safe and healthy environment for Newfoundland dogs in need, in the State of Florida.

As part of our commitment to the breed, NEWFFLA operates a rescue and placement network that is dedicated to giving purebred Newfoundland's a second chance. The mission of our rescue is to find the best forever home possible for all Newfs who find their way into rescue.

Take some time to explore what NEWFFLA has to offer. Come join us at one of our events throughout the state. We would love to meet you. Hope to see you soon.
