She looks like a Lucy!

Lucy - Adopted February 2011

Yes, Lucy is doing wonderful! There is actually a funny story behind her name. We decided to keep it "Lucy" after posting a picture of her on Facebook then asking for any name suggestions people might have. A good friend of mine who has a BS in Animal Science wrote "You should name her Lucy. She looks like a Lucy." without ever know that was her original name! So we couldn't change it after that.


She really has been an awesome dog and I'm not just saying that. She is full of life and energy and has a lot of love to give. People have made comments like "she's the perfect size" and "she has a the goofiness of a Lab and the brains of a Cattle Dog." She listens very well, loves to be outside and go on hikes, plays fetch, and knows when to settle down at night. And she gets along great with other dogs!

I've attached a picture that I just took this morning because I wanted you to have the most current picture possible.

Thanks for checking in!

Wade - now Max!

Max was adopted in February 2011 (formerly Wade)

We are all doing very, very well! We did rename "Wade" to "Max". It was our intention to stick with his "given" name; however we found that everyone (including us) would speak to him in a Texas accent; Wade fit perfectly using that southern drawl! He actually adjusted quite well to the switch.



We couldn't be more happy with him. Although he had quite a bit of anxiety in the beginning of being left alone, that has subsided significantly and he is doing much better. We were happy to find that he is also a wonderful family dog! Our son James was born prematurely, and, needless to say, was rather fragile when coming home and we were a little concerned about how Max would react. He was so gentle and has become somewhat of a protector of his little brother!


Thank-you so much for bringing such a wonderful dog into our family!


All the best,


Kristen, John, James, and Max!

Angel's Happy Story!

Angel - Adopted February 2011

Hi! Thanks for thinking about us! I still love my little "Angel" to death. I didn't change her name as she truly fits her name (most of the time that is). She is now taking Canine Good Citizen classes, agility classes and scent work training. Of course, in my eyes, she is the star student in all the classes!

Thanks again for all you do to save these well deserving furry friends. I am extremely blessed to have found Pat Toro and her foster pup Angel.

God Bless, Sally

Willie - Formerly Sammy/Spike



Willie - Adopted February 2011



My buddy's name is now Willie, and other than eating too many leaves, he is doing extremely well. He eats off the ground a little too much, but we are currently working on that with a trainer. My wife and I wish you well. Thanks for checking in on him. 

 Best regards,


Steve

Miss Marley!

Marley - Adopted September 2011!

Marley is doing great. Since she was answering to "Marley" we decided to keep it so not to confuse her. She loves to play with my dog and will curl up next to my cat. She goes to "doggie day care" one day a week to help socialize her with other dogs and people and to give Inara a little break. She is quite popular there! She is getting used to riding in the car and will curl up in the back seat and relax. We even brought her to one of my sons' football games at Maine Maritime Academy and she was very well behaved. Hope all is well with you.

Caleb - Now Cody

Cody (formerly Caleb) - Adopted April 2011

Cody is doing very well and loves his home. We could not be happier with him, he’s a great dog, minds very well, and loves the children, He is very protective of them in a good way, and he is very tame but will let strangers know he’s there should they come near the house.

Update on Cookie the Beagle (now Lily)!!

Lily, formerly "Cookie" - adopted May 2011

Lily is a perfect fit for us, so gentle and such a sweet dog. We have been working with her to sit when asked and shake paws. We have even had some success with staying until called -  she is very smart.


She and our cat Bell are getting along very well, which was exactly what we had hoped for.


Lily has been a wonderful addition to our family, and we all love her very much.


Thank you all so much for the amazing work you do.

Update on Bruin, Formerly Rex

Rex (on the left) was adopted in June 2011

"Bruin is such a joy to have in our house! He was shy when we first got him, but our shepherd has really helped him come out of his shell. She has also taught him that car rides are a good thing! The more he came out of his shell the more energy he had. He makes me laugh every day with his crazy antics! He loves his walks around the neighborhood or any trail we can find plus trips to the dog park. We brought him to dog training and he passed with flying colors. The trainer called him the life of the party! Thank you so much to everyone at Lucky pup Rescue - we really love Bruin."

A Heartwarming Update



What a smile!

  Lamar was adopted February 2010.



Lamar and his family are special to us because they took on a senior pit bull with medical issues – he came to us scarred and stiff from joint pain and has done AMAZING. We are thrilled to have given him a chance at a real life!  Thank you so much for adopting this beautiful boy!

Lamar, A.K.A. "Big" as the family sometimes calls him, is doing great. He is settled into living in a house very well.  Our family and everyone that meets Lamar absolutely falls in love with him! We have people all the time that ask to watch him if we go away. We even get our friends asking if they can walk him! Lamar’s favorite activity is still walking in the woods. He turns into a puppy every time! He also loves to give chase to the occasional squirrel or chipmunk. He loves car rides and going on the boat - really anything that involves people. We taught him how to swim this summer and he was nervous at first but now he loves to go in the water, especially to cool off. His weight is up to 72.5 pounds, which our doctor says is just about right. His joints still bother him a bit, especially at night after a long day outside or a long walk. He still takes a few pills in the morning for his joints and pain. Other than that, his health is great, they say. His coat has become very soft and shiny and the scars and bare skin on his elbows and knees have almost filled in with fur. He is getting better about getting his nails done too.



It is too bad about all the negativity surrounding pit bulls...I wish "they" could meet Lamar. People are always blown away by his personality and loveliness towards people and other animals.
