Updates on TWO more very Lucky Pups!

We recently received a very nice update from Sally and Peter, who adopted Angel in January 2009. Then, their daughter adopted Lexi in February 2010. Angel is the brown and white dog and Lexi is the black and white dog playing with her.

Here is what Peter had to say about Angel and Lexi:

"Sorry to have taken so long to report in on Angel, but I've been trying to get a decent picture of her playing with Lexi. They hit it off just great. This is the best I could do. Lexi outweighs Angel by about ten pounds, but Angel is faster. Angel shows no effects of the heartworm problem of last winter. Can't thank you enough for the help. Angel wants to send a little donation to help some other dogs that have to go through what she did. Through that whole time she was awfully good.

The little ragmop on the chaise is Ricky. He's a two year old Shih Tzu that my other son adopted from the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook. He holds his own quite well with the other two. It was really a riot all summer watching Angel, after running around and heating up, just stop and walk down the pool steps, swim in about a six or seven foot circle and come out and start running again. Lexi and Ricky aren't quite into the pool thing like Angel is. If someone takes them in, they don't panic though. They just swim to the steps and get out. Now that school is open, Lexi doesn't get here as much as she did during the summer. They have a great time together though.

Lexi is doing very well also. Both of them just love everybody they meet. Angel has been an angel since day one. She gets a little talkative when she wants someone to play with her, but that's to be expected. Of course she spends her nights on our bed -- usually under the covers. She usually goes out about 7:00, and then heads in to bed. Most of the time she's the last one out of bed in the morning too. Spoiled rotten, but worth it.

Thanks again for a great dog.

Sally and Peter

Thanks for the update on these two (and lucky Ricky too!)

And yet ANOTHER update on one of Kaleigh's pups!

This is handsome "Tipu". Here is what his wonderful adopters had to say:

"We have Tipu (aka Kevin). He is growing into a wonderful boy. He has completed obedience training and will be starting advanced class this Fall. He is very shy, so he goes to dog daycare two days a week for a few hours for the socialization. He doesn't stay still very much either. Tipu is always on the go and his favorite activity is playing with his new baby sister Gracie. He loves to play with her and he is so gentle and loving. He is a very sensitive dog. We love him so much and so glad that Mom has a great home. I have attached a picture of Tipu."

Thank you for sharing Tipu's life and sharing this update with us!

Photos from the Adoption Event at Petsmart!

On October 23, Lucky Pup Rescue was at Petsmart in Augusta.

Lacy the Lab mix and Chance the Husky mix were there and met lots of great folks!

Our table had a lot of people stopping and talking and the dogs being there were the reason!

LPR Alumni visited us at Tender Touch

We were so thrilled to see Atlas (now Cooper), Aries and Sage at Tender Touch. Thanks to their adoptive families for bringing them by. The "happy tails" are what keep us going, and knowing we have to assure happy endings for as many as we can.

Thank you Tender Touch Veterinary Hospital!

We recently spent the day at Tender Touch Veterinary in Scarborough for a Rescue Appreciation Day. It was a blast to visit with the other rescues and vendors and see some alumni dogs of ours as well as talk to new prospective adopters and fosters. First, our adoptable cuties - Chance, Dolly, Keisha, Chester and Skylar and Madison came to visit!

Chance is the gorgeous husky mix watching the agility dogs.

Chester is the tiny cutie in the red collar.

Dolly is in the pink "adopt me" bandana.

Keisha is the beautiful shepherd sitting for a treat.

The last picture is Skylar in the agility tunnel coming to her foster dad Tito.

Yet another Lucky Pup Alumnus - POLLY!

We received an update on Polly, who was adopted about two years ago!

Her adopter, Laurel, had this to say:

"Since this past week marks Polly’s second year in Maine, I thought I’d pass along a snapshot that shouts what a happy dog she has become. She was at the vet for a shot last week, and in her file is photocopy of her intake photo down in Arkansas. Emaciated, ears flopped down, sorriest set of eyes you ever did see. What a difference food, safety and love make!"

Awwww look at that great photo! What a lucky girl Polly is - thank you, Laurel, for sharing this terrific update, and thank you for adopting her!

Jenny, formerly Kaleigh, Mom of the "K" Pups!

Now an update on the mom of all the beautiful "K" puppies!

We recently received an update on Jenny! Here's what her adopters had to say:

"Hi Lucky Pup! As I mentioned, it is hard to get a good photo of Jenny (aka Kaleigh) because she is not still much. I really wanted you to get to see the amazing tail she grew. Also, we discovered that she loves to retrieve in water. We are so in love with this beautiful girl! Please feel free to share with folks who knew Kaleigh in the beginning, or her pup's families. The Oosterman Family."

Jenny found her forever home and we are so grateful for the Oostermans and other wonderful people that choose the rescue route! There are so many deserving dogs who make the very best family pets out there!

Remington (Formerly "Kenny")

Remington, formerly Kenny - one of stunningly gorgeous "K" pups!

We have just had an update on this cutie pie! He was one of the Lucky Pups that Sue, Janet and others drove to Arkansas to get back in February! Here's what his adopter, Beth had to say:

Things are going great! I've attached some pictures for you! We are currently going to puppy kindergarten to learn how to be good parents for our puppy! He learned how to "sit, stay, lie down, come, etc". Walking on a leash is still in practice = ). We renamed Kenny to Remington when we got him last April.

He has been a wonderful addition to our home & family!

Remington has found what all dogs really want, a safe, loving and happy home! Thanks for making his life so wonderful, Beth!

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.
