SPRING is true to her name ....a year ago she wound up in a high kill shelter only to travel north in April in search of a forever home. She has been in several different foster homes while here and each time everyone says how great she is but cant keep her for reason no fault of hers. She springs back and everytime approached the next new place with a friendly attitude and happy go lucky nature. Spring is a huge swimmer and also loves to play ball. She waited so long for someone to love her and call her their own- we'd love to find a home where she can play and run. she is great with chidlren of all ages and also other dogs. Please contact us if you can foster Spring or would like to adopt her and show her that homes can be forever.
News
We are working with very crowded shelters that desperately need help finding homes for their dogs. We are always looking for good foster homes so that we can save more lives. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent to one of our dogs please email us. You provide the love and the safe home and we provide everything else! Foster homes allow dogs to become more adoptable by giving them a head start on house training, manners and socialization. Some of our dogs have come from homes to shelter life and just need a refresher on house training.
****PLEASE READ!!!!****
If you are interested in one of our dogs please note the following: all dogs are currently in our partner shelters in South UNLESS they are marked "in New England", "In Maine", etc. which means they are in a foster home locally. We can make arrangements for you to meet a dog if it is here in foster care with a completed application- please email if you'd like to fill one out.

Who We Are
We do not have a physical shelter. We are a small, family run rescue based in Southern Maine. Janet, the founder and president of Lucky Pup rescue, has 4 rescued dogs herself and wanted to help other dogs find loving homes here in the Northeast. We believe that all dogs deserve a safe happy home regardless of where they are from and we work to rehome both local dogs in need and Southern dogs from our overcrowded partner shelters. We are happy to answer any questions and inquiries into our dogs but prefer email. We sometimes are busy running children and dogs to various events so please be patient and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Thank you for wanting to rescue a dog!
Adopting a friend
We do require reference checks, a home visit and phone interview before approving an application. Once your application is approved, a dog can be placed in your home. Dogs here in foster care can be placed immediately and dogs in our partner shelters generally take 2-3 weeks to arrive North. All dogs come with a health certificate, up to date vaccines and they ride a USDA approved transport North. We strictly follow Maine laws for dog rescue. Our fee is $300 ($250 for seniors over 7) which covers the transport, health certificate and spay or neuter if the dog is 6 months or older. If the dog is too young to be altered before being brought into our rescue, we are required by Maine state law to collect an additional $100.00 deposit until the owner demonstrates proof of the spay or neuter surgery at the appropriate age for each dog.
Please email for an application to luckypuprescue@yahoo.com.
But why can't I just stop by and visit the dogs?
We do not have a physical shelter. All our dogs are in foster care or Southern shelters and rescues. We believe that the dogs should settle into homes with families where they can learn manners, socialization, and learn what it's like to live in an indoor/outdoor environment rather than behind bars!
