Will you help rescue his friends?
Hi, I’m Charlie.
This dog rescue organization is named after me.
My sister and I were in cages, sleeping on a cold concrete floor and getting lousy food. It was crowded and they had to make room because more dogs were coming.
If we hadn’t been rescued, things would not have ended well for us.
Some of my friends are in the same terrible situation and they need help.
Will you help me save my friends?
Let’s make sure they get a new life in a warm and loving home.
Save a life. Adopt one of my friends.
Lets go!
Can you please hurry?
My friends are waiting!
Is it OK if I drive?

Charlie’s Dream – His own building
Charlie was an inspiration for all of us, humans and dogs. He saved hundreds of dogs and maybe some humans too in his years working with Rescue Charlie’s Friends. He saw all the dogs passing through and we think he knew he was doing something wonderful.
Charlie died on May 1st, 2020. We miss him terribly.
Rescue Charlie’s Friends will live on in his memory and continue to rescue dogs. Charlie’s dream was to have his own building where he could receive the transports indoors out of the weather. His dream has come true thanks to some very generous donations.
Scroll down to see the available dogs and puppies! Most are here now just waiting for you!
The Next Transport arrives on Saturday April 27th.

I’m a little Beagle lady and these are my babies.
All my pups have different coloring so it is everyone’s guess that daddy must’ve been a really handsome guy!
I am good with my fosters cats. I do get excited if they run from me, I think they want to play, but mostly I ignore them.
I keep my kennel clean, and I walk on a leash really good.
I am ok with other dogs but I’d much rather cuddle with my humans on the couch.
I love to go for walks, just like my puppies do too.
Me and my kids just want to be with our person wherever they are.
I am just an all around good dog.
I will let you know if I don’t think you are paying enough attention to me. I do have a voice!
My puppies are like me, quiet and love to play at times.
They are great with other dogs and love everyone.
I’m not sure who Charlie is…. But I know he and his friends saved my whole family.

I adopted a puppy from Rescue Charlie’s Friends on June 2, 2018 named August. My thirteen year old dog had passed away the month before.
I renamed him. Bud Lite. Bud because he is my Buddy and Lite because he is the Lite of my life.
I am some what of a hermit, but Buddy gets me out walking everyday. We have met many wonderful people and other dogs on our walks.
He means everything to me.
PLEASE keep up the good work you are doing both for the dogs and the families that are fortunate enough to adopt them.
