"Newfie" is often used as an abbreviation for the Newfoundland breed of dog. "Newfie" is also used to describe something backwards and moronic, such as a "Newfie Rolling Pin", which is square. I'll leave it to you to decide exactly which meaning is in use in this article in the St. Albans & Harpenden Review.
Liz Arendt, Chairman of the Hertfordshire Branch of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, was taking part in a sponsored 'Newfie Rescue', where 40 volunteers took on the role of 'drowning swimmers' to be saved by a team of rescue dogs.
