Story
Posted April 2026 This sweet boy was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico by some caring good samaritans. Our rescue partners were able to get him fully vetted before being able to have him fly to us, he is now in a wonderful foster home here in Maine. Josh is approximately 6 months old and 25 lbs with a little growing and filling out still to do. He is currently living with a family who have older children, he is doing amazingly well for such a young pup and showing he is already housebroken! He loves walks and adventures, once he has exerted that young pup energy Josh is happy to sleep through the night in his crate without making a peep! Josh would love a fenced yard to zoom around in and would do well with other dogs although currently is an only dog in the household and is fine with that too. He is showing too much interest towards the felines in the home so he is looking to join a cat free family. This boy has so much joy and love to give and we are excited to help him find his forever family! ​ If you are interested in meeting Josh or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where our dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.

Story
Posted November 2025 FALKOR is a handsome combination of Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd, and he possesses the wonderful qualities for which both breeds are known and loved! This athletic 18 month old pup has had the great fortune of living with wonderful foster families so we have some great info to provide. Falkor weighs 49 lbs. Falkor is definitely the kind of dog who must be part of the family. He thrives on human companionship and while he is friendly with other dogs, he prefers to interact and bond with "his" people. He has coexisted with several adult cats and was very respectful and observed boundaries. Falkor is also great with children, and would be a wonderful addition to a family with kiddos. This sweet boy enjoys the outdoors, exploring and looking for twigs and good smells on his walks. A fenced yard would be a great bonus so he can roll in the leaves and soak up the sun. He walks very well on leash and benefits from a harness Falkor is crate=trained and house trained, but like any dog there will be an adjustment period while he learns new routines. He is not accustomed to being kenneled for long periods of time, so his ideal home would be one where he doesn’t have a long alone day. Falkor’s Maine foster family says he is doing so well! He may not have seen stairs before because he comes down them just fine but needs coaxing to go up. He can get excited and jump on new people so they are working on that with Falkor. He plays great with dogs and kids who are patient and respectful. Falkor is FAST and playful. He’s been eating in his crate and doing well. He gets extra excited around meal times and he will learn to settle easier once he has a routine and realizes he never will have to worry about being fed again. If you have interest in Falkor or any of our sweeties please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. Once approved, we expect a potential family to travel to the dog in the foster setting so that they are introduced where they are feeling safe and loved. Thank you for considering rescue!

Newest Update: June 2025 ​ Meet Dexter – Your Future Cuddle Buddy and Adventure Partner! Location: Maine foster pup Age: 3 years old Currently fostered in a one-dog household Looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly goofy best friend? Meet Dexter, a sweet-hearted 3-year-old dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Dexter is currently in foster care and ready to find his forever home! About Dexter: Dexter is a true people dog. He adores his humans and lives for cuddle sessions on the couch (or bed – fair warning, he will try to hog the space out of love). He’s an excellent companion on walks and absolutely lives for car rides. The more adventures, the better! Dexter listens well to commands, knows the basics, and is a quick learner. He’s very trusting and will transition easily with a little attention and affection. He’s content napping while you’re at work and has full run of the house, happily relaxing in his bed until you’re home. Dexter’s Ideal Home: A home that can give him one good walk a day – he’s got energy and love to spare! A family or individual who appreciates affectionate dogs and doesn’t mind the occasional excited bark when visitors arrive. He does well with children and other dogs but thrives best with a bit of structure and attention, especially in busy households. Fun Dexter Facts: He’s a sniffer extraordinaire – walks are more like “sniffari” adventures! He might try to jump up when he’s extra excited – but hey, who can blame him for loving people that much? He’s the definition of a gentle goofball and makes his foster parents laugh every day. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fill your life with joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles, Dexter might just be your perfect match. ​ This handsome boy is a beautiful mixed breed dog, definitely some hound in there! He is approximately 65 lbs. Dexter LOVES car rides, and sits in the seat like a human. He likes to take walks and with the 1:1 attention of his foster parents, he is getting some excellent fine turning of leash manners. Dexter is an escape artist with crates and has learned to do OK without one as long as the area is well puppy-proofed. Meeting new people or dogs is a little stressful for Dexter so he needs a good proper intro so he can warm up to new friends. He loves the family’s guinea pigs though! He has played the best with older dogs, and is skittish around puppies or “in your face” dogs. Dog parks will definitely not be safe for him and he hasn’t been able to stay at a day care due to his aversion to crates. Dexter would be best in a home without very small children as he has become more territorial as an adult, and needs more training than his current family is able to provide. If you are interested in meeting Dexter or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. If interested in fostering Dexter or any of our dogs, please email us at luckypuprescue@yahoo.com Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network, and it is our expectation that, once approved, a potential adopter and their family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.

Story
Newest update: June 2026 Monte is an 3 yr old Great Pyrenees who is quite the charmer and so fun to be around. He was adopted last year and has returned to our rescue to get some training and to find a home without other dogs and without small children due to some resource guarding behaviors that can be very typical of livestock guardian dogs. Monte was living in a neighborhood where he would encounter a lot of roadkill on his walks and he would guard those precious possessions, and would sometimes redirect onto the other dog in his family. An active person or couple or a family with older kids and a fenced yard would be ideal for this quite large dude. He is just under 100 lbs and is the SWEETEST boy. He cannot live with cats, and like pretty much every dog of his breed, he can be stubborn - if he doesn't want to walk on that direction you might have a standoff. He loves to snuggle and is a leaner! He will pick his person and become their shadow, and this silly boy loves to be pampered! He loves being brushed and does not mind his nails getting clipped as long as you are loving on him. He will give you a full body hug when you get home if you want one. Though he can be goofy, he does not play with traditional toys, balls or sticks. He also loves kiddie pools or streams. If there is water and you give him permission, he will have a blast splashing around. He does enjoy a wobble Kong with any food frozen in it, loves peanut butter lick mats, loves sniff work outside in the yard, Loves being trained in general. He picks up very quickly as he is very food motivated (cheese, hot dogs are great). He wants to be a good boy so he’s a good listener with consistent training. If interested in meeting Monte, please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical location where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
