Goofy Newfy Rescue | Owner Surrender

Owner Surrender

At The Red Barn Goofy Newfy Rescue, we understand that life circumstances can change. Our goal is always to support both dogs and families during difficult transitions with compassion, respect, and honesty.

If you are considering surrendering your dog, we ask that you carefully review the information below before submitting a request.

Our Commitment

We specialize in rescuing and rehoming large breed dogs that are often overlooked or in need of advocacy. While we strive to help as many dogs as possible, we are a foster-based rescue and space is limited.

All owner surrenders are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Before You Surrender

We encourage owners to explore all possible alternatives before surrendering, including:

Training support
Veterinary consultation
Temporary assistance from friends or family
behavior evaluation

Our team may offer guidance or resources that could help you keep your dog safely in your home.

Surrender Guidelines

When reviewing surrender requests, we consider:

Age of the dog
Medical condition
Behavioral history
Temperament
Compatibility with foster placement
Available space within our rescue

Please understand that submitting a surrender form does not guarantee acceptance. Approval depends on foster availability and our ability to safely place the dog.
