Welcome to the Lucky Pup site!

Our first post! How about some history of our rescue:

We are a small, family run rescue based in Southern Maine. We have 3 rescued dogs ourselves and wanted to help other dogs find loving homes here in the Northeast. We believe that all dogs deserve a safe happy home regardless of where they are from and we work to re-home both local dogs in need and Southern dogs from our overcrowded partner shelters. We are happy to answer any questions and inquiries into our dogs but prefer email. We sometimes are busy running children and dogs to various events so please be patient and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Thank you for wanting to rescue a dog!

We are working with very crowded shelters that desperately need help finding homes for their dogs. We are always looking for good foster homes so that we can save more lives. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent to one of our dogs please email us. You provide the love and the safe home and we provide everything else! Foster homes allow dogs to become more adoptable by giving them a head start on house training, manners and socialization. Some of our dogs have come from homes to shelter life and just need a refresher on house training.

If you are interested in one of our dogs please note the following: all dogs are currently in our partner shelters in South UNLESS they are marked "in New England" which means they are in a foster home locally. We can make arrangements for you to meet a dog if it is here in foster care. We do require reference checks, a home visit and phone interview before approving an application. Once your application is approved, a dog can be placed in your home. Dogs here in foster care can be placed immediately and dogs in our partner shelters take 2-3 weeks to arrive North. All dogs come with a health certificate, up to date vaccines and they ride a USDA approved transport North. We strictly follow Maine laws for dog rescue. Our fee is $250 which covers the transport, health certificate and spay or neuter. Plese email for an application.
