Danny arriving in New England soon!

Danny is quite a handsome shepherd, don't you think? He should be in Maine this weekend and he needs a foster home for the first 48 hours, and a forever home. This would be a nice way for you to get to know him before you decide if he's a good fit for your family. He's approx. 1 year old and is a medium-sized dog, around 30 lbs. He was surrendered by his owner before Christmas so he may have some good house manners and training. Please help him out so he can learn that a real family doesn't abandon him! Contact us if you'd like to foster or adopt Danny!

Rita needs a forever family!

Check out this lovable girl! Rita came to us in January from a shelter in Northern Maine- overweight and needing medical care. She is in a fantastic foster home, healthier and happier, where she gets along great with dogs, cats, other animals, and kids of all ages. She is a young shepherd mix who needs more exercise and attention than she is getting now. Maybe you have the right active family for her. These pictures don't do her justice - would you like to meet her? Just send us an email at luckypuprescue@roadrunner.com.

Henry adopted!

Henry found a new home in Maine. He is a super-cute Australian Cattle Dog mix. There are lots of other loving dogs who need a home. Once we can transport these loves up here they usually only stay with us a week or two at most, so you have to act fast. If there is a dog on our site you are interested in that is not in New England yet, we can take care of the preliminaries (paperwork, home visit, etc) while working on getting him or her here. Unfortunately some families have a longer wait because there is a medical need such as heartworm or spaying that needs to take place, so it's sometimes a wait of several weeks. Every one of them is worth it though! If you are looking for a specific breed of dog, or traits, age, etc. let us know because we have access to dogs that we don't have up on the site - just not enough room for them all because there are SO MANY!

Thanks to everyone who came to the fair and bought biscuits, left donations, or signed up to foster a dog. We need foster homes in our area!

Join us at the Fair!

If you're in the neighborhood of Kennebunk High School on February 9th from 9 - 3, join us at the Valentine Fair! Lucky Pup Rescue will have biscuits for sale for your furry valentine, as well as pictures and information about our adoptable animals and ways that you can help us out!
Below is a picture of Mikah. She is a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who was surrendered by her owner when he got called overseas. She was a much-loved family member, and has found a temporary foster home in Maine so you can come meet her if you like! She is doing very well with other dogs and cats, but needs a home without very small children (she likes to chase them too much!) She requires the space and opportunity to run, as well as someone who is willing to train her and maybe join an obedience class with her. Do you have an active family that could add Mikah to the mix?

New homes for Lucky Pups!

Not only did Sadie and Misty find their forever homes, but Coco, Jake and Angel were adopted as well. Best wishes to all of them and their new families!

Sadie ADOPTED!

Sweet Sadie has found her forever home too! She will be joining a family with fur brothers and sisters and a sweet little human sister too. We wish Sadie and her new family well!

Misty ADOPTED!

I am delighted to report that Misty has been adopted in a forever home in Maine. A wonderful couple chose her to be part of their family and, more importantly, she chose them! It was the least shy she has EVER acted, and when she arrived at their home she acted like she had lived there all her life. What a wonderful next chapter to her story! Thanks to everyone who helped her along the way, and especially to her new family. Best wishes to all of you!

Misty!

Look at this beautiful girl! She's a 3-year-old border collie/lab mix and she's had a rough start to her life. She was originally a Katrina dog who was found next to her mother who had died. She has bounced around to different environments but reportedly has never had a loving, stable home. She was very shy with us (in foster care) at first, and still is frightened if you move too quickly or if you surprise her by accident but in just a couple of days she's gone from running away from us to cuddling with us on the couch. Maybe she's so grateful to have love and safety! She would make a great pet for someone with love and patience, and without very young kids (because they move too quickly). Right now she reacts better to girls and women but is learning to trust the guys at our house. She is a real sweetheart, it's proof that dogs really do love unconditionally, no matter what they've been through. Would you consider giving this sweet girl a chance at a happy life? She does not chew or jump on people, and she's learning to walk on a leash and to play with toys. She loves the crate and has made a ton of progress on house-training - no accidents after the very first day! She is spayed, up to date on shots and medical care, and Misty is in Maine, awaiting a chance at a forever home. Contact us today at luckypuprescue@roadrunner.com. If she's not the right girl for you we have SO many other animals who need a home.

Wonderful Weekend of Saving Lives!

Can you help Jillian?

Jillian is a young medium-size very sweet girl! She's a Shiba Inu mix and strikingly beautiful. She's been at the shelter too long and is in urgent need of a foster family or a forever home. She was surrendered by her owner. The shelter staff finds her to be very gentle, and they report she was shy at first but now is wagging her tail at visitors. Let's give this girl a chance!
