      North Central Newfoundland Club and NCNC Rescue will have a booth at the 2026 Animal Rescue Expo to be held on Saturday, March 21 from 11-4 at the UW Sports Factory in Rockford, IL. 

      NCNC Members are welcome to attend to serve as a breed ambassador and rescue ambassador and club ambassador to share information about our wonderful breed and allow attendees to meet a small cadre of Newfs.

      We are looking for NCNC Members, with or without their Newfs, to work the following shifts. We are looking for either well-behaved Rescue, Therapy certified or excellent Newf ambassadors to be on hand for each of these shifts.  If you can't bring your Newf, we are also looking for club members to work the table and answer questions that attendees have!  The shifts are below.  Mark which shift you can work on the registration form.

      10:30a - 12:45p

      12:45p - 2:30p

      2:30p - 4:00p

      If you are bringing a Newf, it should be very well-behaved in public and with other dogs.  There will be large crowds and high activity there. Please bring a 4' leash and water for your Newf.  If you are working more than one shift, please bring a crate for down time.  This event won't be suitable for reactive or anxious dogs.
