Teddy

Teddy is one of our newest rescues. He's a Newfoundland mix who is approximately 80 lbs. His fur is so cool, it's wavy and brown, so maybe mixed with chocolate lab? He's all kinds of sweet and certainly loves his humans. Teddy might knock over a very little kid just out of excitement to greet them. He has met a lot of dogs but can be a bit territorial with some dogs who don't acknowledge him as the boss. So far he seems OK with cats. We'll have more info as he settles into his foster home in Maine but if you are considering adding an "only-dog" to your family Teddy is the big sweetie you are looking for! He will be a joy to the lucky family that gives him a forever home. He is happy to just lay by your side, keep you company while you read, or go for long walks. He is an excellent runner and is very fast! He's been working on general obedience with a trainer and is doing very well.

Thank you Eddie Bauer!

One of our fabulous foster moms, Jen, set up an adoption event at her work - Eddie Bauer in Kittery - and we had a great day of generating awareness, selling baked goods, and dog toys, and - best of all- introducing our available dogs to people. They all behaved beautifully and we hope to find some new forever homes and maybe even some new foster families because of it! Thanks Jen and all the staff and management of Eddie Bauer, and everyone who stopped by! Here are some pics from the brisk day!

Bear is the big hound puppy, Kinko is the small cutie that's in the photo with the little girl, and Memphis and Spring are together in a photo. You can see them (and all our available sweeties) on our website at www.luckypuprescue.org.

Woofstock!

What a fantastic day! We went to Damariscotta for the annual "Woofstock" event - this was our first time, and we won't miss it next time! Woofstock had something for every dog lover, from agility demonstrations to all-natural biscuits for sale. There was lunch available for the humans, challenge activities for the dogs, contests and show events. There were rescues and shelters, and dogs of every shape, size, age and breed! Thank you to Aubrey and Dan and everyone who made it possible. Check out pics of our dogs that came with us and all the fun we had. You can also check out more on our facebook site as well as the Woofstock page. Sabina is a black and white 1 y.o. pit bull; she was such a doll with all the kids, adults and other dogs. Baby Girl (or Piper as her foster mom calls her) is a 1 year old pointer/hound mix who is so calm and sweet, and Calvin is a 6 month old mixed breed - we had SO much fun taking guesses about his

breed(s). He is the mellowest puppy, and is awesome with kids.

These 3 and so many more like them are available for adoption. Contact us today for an application!

Spring the Dock Dog!

We took beautiful Spring to the practice of the newly-formed Maine Dock Dogs group. She had a blast, though did not like waiting between turns! With a little more practice she'll be flying even further. I think she'd even go in without a ball or something to chase! At one point, a dog wouldn't go in - he stopped at the end of the dock while the tennis ball bobbed in the water - it was just too much! Spring broke her gentle leader, ran into the water, swam out and got the tennis ball! What a riot! (against the rules, but still a riot! ; 0 )

Spring is SO ready for a home of her own, a doggy-sporting familly would be perfect. People at the practice tonight thought she'd do great at flyball or agility, not to mention the Dock Dogs and regular obedience. She is such a love - she has some energy but is also snuggly. She is good with other dogs but will be the boss if you let her. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and just a sweet love! (she is the black and white border collie mix in the pictures)

Breaking News in the Rescue World!

Check out the news from Arkansas! Our sweeties Ben and Leo came north along with 8 other dogs in need of homes. There is a video feed as well as newspaper article and the Humane Society of the United States press release. We are so grateful for everyone who helped along the way - from the original rescuers to the foster homes, to Anita and her friends, to the fosters here in New England and the adopters of all these wonderful dogs.

Trevor is looking for his forever home

Trevor is such a sweetheart - he is living with two male foster brothers and loving life at their home, but he needs his forever home - we know you are out there somewhere! He is a terrific medium-size dog - still a young'un at less than a year old. He is pictured here alone and with his two foster brothers- he's the smallest one but definitely holds his own romping and playing. He will take time out for a snuggle though and is learning manners as well. Contact us today for an application for Trevor.

Spring has Sprung!

Are there any "dock dogs" competitors out there? If so, we have your girl! Maybe you just live at the ocean or lake and want a water-loving dog. Spring is a beautiful border collie mix who absolutely loves the water! At her foster mom's house, she will take a running start from off the deck and leap into the pool at least 10 feet out! She swims in there all day until you force her to get out. She went on a walk and leaped into a local stream and rolled around in there like a pig in mud!

Spring is gorgeous in person and a great medium size, maybe 40 lbs tops. When you go for a walk, she pulls on the leash at first but then settles down and walks like an angel - I think she has to see if she can get you to go faster - when she can't, she just figures "oh well, I'll go at this speed." She is loving and fun; she enjoys other dogs but needs an active playmate who doesn't mind her energetic playing. We're not sure how she'd be as an only dog - we would think you would have to be a runner or love playing ball - she will fetch at least one million times in a row!

Spring is such a doll! You have to meet her in person and then you will love her like we do.

Adoption Event at Hollywood Video

Thank you so much to Craig and Hollywood Video in Portland! We had quite a few sweet and happy dogs there to show themselves off yesterday. Check out pics. Cutie pie Max is with Jenny, and then there is Abby with her "mini-me" Kaila! Hunter is the yellow lab at the bottom.

Terrence!

Even though Terrence looks like a force to be reckoned with, he is the sweetest guy! Perfect combination for someone looking for a protector - looks like an attack dog but may lick you to death! Terrence was so loving to all of us when we met him, and was OK with other dogs, even Hank who is another male pit mix. Check out the pics of this beautiful boy -- Terrence has to go through heartworm treatment first (yes, it's a HUGE problem in the south - if people would only spend a few bucks a month for a heartworm preventative............) but then he'll be raring to go, and would like to join your family.
