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!

This weekend 5 dogs were brought North to safety! Misty, Bart, Suzie, Sadie, and Mikah were all transported to New England. Great news for Bart - he already has been adopted! If you might take a peek at these other loves, check our earlier blogs or try our web-pages - http://www.1-800-save-a-pet.com/cgi-bin/public/shelter-search.cgi/shelter_search?city_or_zip=04043&distance=50&adopts_out=cats_and_dogs and click "see pets at shelter" or go to http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/ME89.html and click "see our adoptable pets". We appreciate you checking us out! There are so many lives to be saved!

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!

Did you know?

We do not have a physical shelter. We can only make an appointment to show you dogs that are "In New England" in foster care. We rescue dogs locally and from overcrowded southern shelters, and some of our available dogs are still down south or in northern parts of our state, for example. We are always looking for qualified and loving foster homes so please contact us if you can provide time, love and safety to one of these needed pets. It will allow us to get them into a home environment and assess them much more thoroughly to make the best match possible with a forever home. If a foster family falls in love (it happens! ; 0 ) they have the first option to adopt their new companion. Please contact us for more information. If you might want a dog that is far away, we will arrange transport to New England; this can take 2-3 weeks or more because they need to have a clean bill of health with all vaccinations up-to-date and their spay or neuter completed. Patience is a virtue, though not always an easy one! Thanks for checking us out!

These Dogs are Coming to Maine and they need YOU!

Please consider fostering or adopting one of the beautiful dogs on this page. All of them are scheduled to arrive in New England in January. Make sure you scroll all the way down to see all our cuties or click on their posts on the left. With an approved adoption application they could be part of your family very soon! Not the right time for you to take a dog home? Consider fostering one of our other dogs in need! All the affection and companionship without the long-term commitment. You will give a dog a new chance at a great life, instead of having that life end early at an over-crowded shelter or due to neglect or cruelty. Contact us today for more information.
