Woofstock 2010

We SO enjoyed our time at Woofstock in Damariscotta - just a couple photos from the day!

Here are two alumni - "Buddy Bear" now Ben Bear is the handsome yellow fellow above and he was adopted this year into a wonderful family. Charlotte, now Kimchi, was adopted way back in September 2008! Beautiful and lucky sweeties!

The last photo is

our new friend Oscar who

won the "cutest puppy" contest! How could he NOT win with those ears?!

More from Paws in the Park

We were also joined by our adoptable cutie Chester who arrived with his foster brother Rhett who was adopted over a year ago from Lucky Pup. These little guys were a big hit and Chester is still looking for a loving forever home that has at least one other dog in it.

Paws in the Park 2010

What a beautiful day for a walk at Deering Oaks! Vendors, pooches and their human pals, food, and fun! We were thrilled to be visited by some of our alumni pups - Maggie, now Ivy (brown and white) was adopted in April of this year and is doing great! Blake, now Baxter, was adopted in January and Chanel, now Penny (photo on left) had JUST been adopted within a few days and what a beautiful girl she is!

Knocking down some pins for our pooches!

We recently participated in a bowl-a-thon to support our rescue. Vacationland Bowling in Saco hosted us and we had 5 teams of bowlers - the Gutter Pups, Retriever Achievers, Halliday Farm Hounds, Who Let the Dogs Out?, and the Stumpy Tail Gang!

Check out our wonderful friends and junior bowlers! Glow bowling was a blast!

Not only did we have a great time but we raised over $700.00 for the rescue to send Baxter for training!

Thank you especially to Crystal for organizing and Donna and the Gutter Pups for the unbelievable fundraising job! Our new friend Santos even came all the way from Mexico to bowl with us!

A Lucky Pup and Pals!

Handsome David, who was adopted recently by Lindsey and Jeremy, is having the time of his life!

They share, "He has gone on lots of new adventures to the ocean and Wolf Neck State Park and had lots of puppy play dates with his new cousins! He has taken quite a liking to Marley, the other black lab, and the two of them team up against the golden retriever. HE IS SUCH A JOY!"

Thank you so much, Jeremy and Lindsey, for this update! It means so much to Lucky Pup to see the happiness that David brings to your life.

Another great update on a Lucky Pup - Suzie Q!!!

Suzie Q was adopted back in April 2010 and by the looks of this picture, she is living the good life now! Here is what her adopter, Randi, had to say:

"Remember Suzie Q? Well here she is posing for my son's 12th grade photo...what a nut! She looks like she is drunk with her tongue hanging out.

Suzie loves the water! When we take our daily walk in the woods, she always goes into the pond for some laps!"

THANK YOU RANDI FOR ADOPTING AND LOVING SUZIE Q AND MAKING HER YET ANOTHER LUCKY PUP!!!!

Pizza For Pooches!

On Thursday, October 7, 2010 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Pizza Hut in Sanford is opening their doors to our rescue and donating 15% of the profits of the evening to us!

Mark your calendar right now and plan to dine at Pizza Hut and part of your dinner bill goes right to helping our sweeties, like Fran and Caesar pictured here.

Knock Down Some Pins For Our Pups!!!

Lucky Pup Rescue will be holding a Bowl-A-Thon at Vacationland Bowling in Saco, Maine on Saturday, September 18 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. What a fun way to raise money for the pups that so deserve it!

We have room for one more 5-person team if interested, but you have to let us know right away! Will you consider sponsoring if you can't make it? So far two of the teams are "The Gutter Pups" and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Please let us know by email. You can paypal the donation or send by check. We have one donation for our team of one penny per pin - if we all bowled perfect games you would only owe $30.00 - NO danger there!

Sign up with Crystal at Crystal.andrews@bdag.com to register as an individual or a 5-person team. Come up with a clever canine-themed team name, challenge your friends, family or co-workers and collect some sponsorship pledges. Then, join us at Vacationland, pay $6.00 entry fee to bowl two games and get your shoes.

We would love to see you at what is sure to be a fun-filled event!
