Colonial Newfoundland Rescue Inc. was established in 2016 as a 501c3 Rescue. Prior to that the rescue was under Colonial Newfoundland Club which was established in 1986. As the years go by, we have more and more beautiful/handsome Newfs in loving homes. But, let's be honest about this...YOU have the best looking Newf around, don't you?  And your Newf probably has a personality like no other and is always making you laugh or smile or roll your eyes. Well, here's your chance to show off! Enter your Newfs picture here ($25 registration fee includes 5 votes to start your Newf's campaign) and then wait for the votes to roll in--votes from your family, friends, and social media followers. Get busy and back up those bragging rights and enter your favorite photo of your Newf(s) to win one of at least 13 coveted spots in our 2025 Colonial Newfoundland Club and Rescue Calendar. The top vote earner will be on the cover of the calendar!

• While we all love Newfoundlands, your Newf may have a canine or feline companion. Please feel free to include them in the photo if it is one of your favorites.
• NO HUMANS IN PHOTOS!
• We beg you to please make sure your photos are of high enough quality to reproduce well. The better the resolution, the nicer the photograph will reproduce on the calendar.  If your photo is not high enough quality to print, we will ask for another photo.  The photo needs to be squarer to fit better in the calendar.  Only use original photos.  They lose quality if you edit it. 
• The more you communicate your participation in the contest (i.e., at work, with friends, via social media), the better chances you have to win one of the top spots, and the more our Newfs benefit. Votes are $1 per vote ($5 minimum).
• Calendars make excellent holiday gifts! People love seeing a big fluffy dog or two looking at them each month…makes them smile!
• In case of a tie, we will make sure the winners are included even if it means two Newfs share the "Newf of the month" title.
• Non-winning photos will be included in the calendar (although in a smaller size).
• This is a fun and exciting way to show you care as a Newfoundland owner.
• It's not over until it is over…the battle for the calendar Newfs is not over until the very last minute… thus the ties!

People can vote as often as they wish, and votes will be displayed on the contest web page as they come in. Remember - vote early, vote often, and encourage friends and families to vote. The goal is to raise $15,000 to help Colonial Newfoundland Rescue continue their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome wonderful Newfoundland dogs.

Newf with most votes gets the coveted Calendar cover.

Smaller photo featured somewhere in the calendar (location dependent on number of entries).


Reserve a day to honor your Newfoundland. For a $20 donation, your dog's photo will appear on the day of your choice (birthday, anniversary, adoption date). Just choose your favorite photo and then choose the day and pay! First come, first served! Once a date has been reserved, it will no longer be available. You can enter the same or a different photo for the date blocks, and you need not enter the contest if you just want your Newf's picture on the calendar. You can put a caption up to 10 letters/numbers on the photo.

Please note that entering a picture with two animals will work for the contest, but because of the size of the date blocks, a single Newf's picture will work best there. These date square pictures provide valuable extra support to the Rescue.


Please consider pre-ordering a calendar. This will help us purchase the right number of calendars, so we don't waste valuable funds on extra stock.
