Will you help rescue his friends?
Meet Charlie
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.
Meet Charlie's Friends
Charlie with help from our wonderful volunteers, sponsors and donors is rescuing lots of his friends. Even more this year than last year. Wow!

Wilma and Sassy
Wilma is a Pittie mix. Sassy is a Rottweiler mix. Both Sassy and Wilma are females.
Wilma and Sassy are a bonded pair and should be adopted together.
Hi, I’m Wilma. Want to know about us? I’ll let our foster tell you. Here is what she says:
Attention all dog lovers!
Meet Sassy and Wilma. Two southern Belle’s looking for their forever home. They are a bonded pair and need to go together. They are both house trained, though they need some time to get into a routine.
Sassy is a Rottweiler mix with a stern bark coupled with a wagging tail. She wants nothing more than for you to throw her a toy and likes to climb up next to you on the couch and lick your face if you’ll let her. Sassy has no idea how big she is and may do better in a home without small children as she could easily steamroll over a small child without even realizing she has done it.
Wilma is the sweetest little Pittie Mix. While Sassy wants to sit next to you, Wilma wants to sit on you. She is crazy for squeaky toys and likes wrestling with Sassy. Wilma has some hip issues for which she takes pain meds.
Both Sassy and Wilma seem to have indulged a little in the good life and need some gym time and Weight Watchers in their life. They go on three walks every day and have made it an entire mile! Although they claim human food is what they need, we are keeping them away from anything that will add to their – shall we say “fluffiness”.
They are both dog and people friendly and may have been spotted at the last LL Bean concert of the year enjoying the beautiful Maine weather. They like car rides and adventures – as long as they don’t involve a lot of exercise. They are trained on the leash and walk well together and with my dog. They do pull sometimes, especially when one has to pee and the other one – or two – want to keep going or they see a cat. Probably not good in a home with cats.
A fenced yard is not a must but would be very appreciated by both girls. Sassy – and sometimes Wilma – bark at the neighbors and we are teaching them that not every noise is a potential threat. Though I think most of the time she is inviting them over to play.
Anybody who adopts these two wonderful girls will be incredibly lucky and loved.
The French Crew
The French Crew are eight week old Labrador mixes. Three girls and two boys.
Well, you probably think I’m going to spill the beans about our family and our little arguments and troubles. Well, I’m not.
Have you seen my sister Notre Dame? She thinks she is a shrink and I should tell her all my troubles and she will make them better. Well don’t be fooled.
I was scared to death of the loud thunder the other night. I told her I was just trembling with fear each time there was a big crack of thunder.
Did she talk about it with me? Did she tell me that it is just a normal noise and won’t hurt me? Did she say that it is OK and I shouldn’t be afraid?
Nope. What did she do? She told all the other dogs within earshot that I am a big fraidy-cat and I’m scared of a little thunder. All the other puppies just laughed at me. Now they all call me a woosy-wimp. My life is ruined.
Please, please get that girl out of here!
Dia
Dia is a Labrador / Terrier mix. She is nine months old and weighs about thirty pounds.
Hello, I’m Dia and I’m very happy you are here. Are you the one that is going to adopt me?
Do you my red color? Do you think I’m cute? Do you want to adopt me?
The Breakfast Crew
Three girls and two boys! Shepherd mix puppies, fourteen weeks old and weighing about twenty to twenty five pounds.
Corn Flakes wants to play and all I want to do is get adopted!
They want me to just sit here, but I can feel a case of the zoomies coming on! I want to go play and have fun!
Fruit Loops? Really? Can we change that name. I mean really, can you see yourself standing on the porch shouting “Fruit Loops”?
Lucille
Lucille is a female Cattle Dog mix. She is fourteen weeks old and weighs six to eight pounds.
Am I looking sad enough? If I try to look a little sadder will it make you want to adopt me and save me? Look at my eyes. Don’t they make you want to hold me on your lap and scratch a little behind my ears?
Well I wish you would do that. I really want to just lay on your lap and feel that I finally have a place where I belong.
Archie Comics
Two boys and two girls. They are three months old and weigh about twelve to fifteen pounds.
Jughead and Archie are boys, Veronica and Betty are girls.
I’m really worried. I’m afraid I won’t get adopted. I know that the cutest ones get adopted first and this picture of me is not good.
Me too. I mean I’m worried too. I really want to be adopted into a family I can love and that will love me.
Is there anything I can do to make that happen?
Did you know that on a hot day, the coolest place to be is here on the linoleum floor?
Did you know that I am full of energy and i love to play? I also love to take naps next to you on the couch. Can we talk?
Ruthie, Mom to the Seven Wonders
Ruthie is a female Bulldog / Pointer mix. She is four or five years old and weighs thirty five or forty pounds
Can I open my eyes now?
OK, Good. I’m Ruthie and I am the proud mom of the Seven Wonders! Four girls and three boys.
I’m really sweet and I’m good with other dogs. I’m very sweet with kids too. I don’t like cats much, in fact I don’t like them at all.
I will make a wonderful addition to your family. Will you adopt me?
But first! Please adopt one of my Seven Wonders!
The Seven Wonders!
Four girls and Three boys. They are eight week old Bulldog / Pointer mixes.
We were all named after the Seven Wonders of the World. Isn’t that cool!
Hello, I’m Olympia. All my brothers and sisters are great puppies and would love to be adopted.
They were thinking about the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus when they named me, but that is such a long name that the shortened it to Mausolus.
Actually, Mausolus was the Ruler of Caria and didn’t have anything to do with the Seven Wonders of the World, but I’m glad to have his name anyway.
The reason they gave us great names is simple. We are GREAT puppies!
Well, except maybe Mausolus. He is named after an emperor and sometimes takes it too seriously. Sometimes he thinks he rules us. No way!
Lady
Lady is a female Labrador mix. She is one and a half years old and weighs about fifty pounds.
Hi, I’m Lady,
Jesse, Jack and I were all living in the same house. We are all great dogs that just want a chance to be adopted into a family we can love.
We are all housebroken and great with kids, dogs and even cats.
What more could you want?
Cooper and Puddin
Two year old Chiweenie mixes. Cooper is a male and Puddin is a female. They weigh about eight pounds. They are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.
Hello I’m Puddin. Do you think I’m cute? Cooper makes fun of my ears. He says in a strong wind I might fly away.
Well, yeah I do make fun of her ears. But I never knew she got her feelings hurt by it. I never wanted that. I’ll tell her I’m sorry. I hope I can tell her before the wind carries her away!
Panther, Brownie and Blackie
Panther is a female one year old Shepherd mix. She weighs forty five pounds. Panther is the mother of Brownie and Blackie.
Hi, I’m Panther. I am very sweet. I’m good with dogs and kids and everyone. I have never been around cats so I don’t know whether I would like them.
Blackie and Brownie are my puppies! Will you please adopt one of them?
Hi, I’m Brownie. I’m a girl and I’m six months old. I am very friendly with everyone. I would love to have a family of my very own. Will it be yours?
I’m just like Brownie. I’m a girl and I’m six months old too.
Can I be a part of your family? Please?
By the way, ask for Blackie. That’s me.
The Rock Stars
The Rock Stars are Shepherd / Husky mixes. They are four and a half months old and weigh about twenty to thirty pounds.
Well Well Well. Here we are. I’m hoping you will adopt me. Will you?
I’m Elton and I’m hoping you will adopt me.
Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson is a Labrador mix. He is fourteen weeks old and weighs about six pounds.
Know how I’m named after? Know who Doyle Brunson is? He is a professional poker player who won the World Series of Poker twice.
That’s me. I’m a winner. If you adopt me, you will be a winner too! You can bet all your friends that you have the best puppy ever and you will win every time!
Maybe with the money you win you can buy me a toy that squeaks, OK? Or maybe we can go for a ride in the car. I like that.
Jack
Jack is a Red Heeler mix. He is a male and weighs about fifty pounds. Jack is one and a half years old.
Hello everyone! I’m Jack. Can I ask you a question? Do you have freckles? I have lots of them.
Did they tell you I’m already housebroken? Well, I am.
I bet they didn’t tell you that I love everybody and I’m good with kids, other dogs and even cats, did they? Well, I know they’ve been busy.
Let’s just get right down to it – Will you please adopt me?
Fredo
Fredo is a male Dachshund mix. He is one year old and weighs about fifteen to twenty pounds.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
I didn’t do anything wrong! Why did they lock me up in here? I want an attorney! I want to get out of here! I just want to be adopted and be with you. I love everyone! Well, almost everyone. The person who locked me up in here, not so much.
I am learning all about being housebroken but I’m not perfect yet. I’ve almost got it. Just give me another chance, OK?
So I chased a cat. So what? Is that why I’m locked up? OK, OK, I’ll try really hard not to chase cats. Maybe it’s better if when I get adopted there aren’t any cats living in the same house with me.
Will you please please please adopt me and get me OUT OF HERE!
Spirit Crew
Five week old Beagle mixes. They weigh two to three pounds. Sangria is a girl. Cuba Libre is a boy.
I don’t even know what a Cuba Libre is and here I am named after one. That’s OK.
If you adopt me you can name me anything you want.
Lucy
Lucy is a Shepherd mix. She is seven months old and weighs about thirty five or forty pounds.
I’m Lucy,
Sweetie Pie and I had the same fate. We got thrown out because the humans split up and couldn’t take care of us anymore.
I’m a really good dog. I get along with everyone, even other dogs and cats. I know because I lived with other dogs and with cats!
I’m hoping that you are the one who will adopt me. Are you?
Nyla
Nyla is an eight week old female Labrador mix. She weighs about six pounds.
My name is Nyla and I’m worried. All the other puppies are so cute and I’m afraid maybe I’m not cute enough to be adopted. Do you think I’m cute? Are you going to adopt me?
Trixie
Trixie is a female Saint Bernard mix. She is two years old.
Wow, am I glad to be rescued. I was locked in a small crate much of my life. I am scared at first but I love men. I hope you have a little patience with me. One more thing, I don’t like female dogs much. I prefer males.
My biggest wish is that now that i am out of the horrible life I had that my new life will be filled with a wonderful family that I can love and that will love me.
Camilla, Dianna and Charles
Shepherd / Terrier mixes just waiting for you! They weigh about twenty pounds. Camilla and Dianna are girls and Charles is a boy.
Howdy, I’m the only man here. The girls giggle and say they don’t want to talk on camera. Really? That’s all they do is talk talk talk talk talk.
Actually, they always want to be the center of attention so I don’t understand why when here, they have the perfect chance to talk to you and hope that you will fall in love and adopt them, they clam up and pretend they can’t talk on camera. Girls. I just don’t understand them. My dad told me I’ll be happier if I don’t try.
By the way, my name is Charles.
I love people and kids. I’m pretty shy at first but I really do love everyone. I like other dogs too. I haven’t been around cats so I don’t know how that might work out but I’m willing to try it.
I hear Charles over there talking about us girls. He is ignoring what happened to us, maybe because he gets all emotional talking about it.
We were dumped by our owner. Some nice people found us hiding in the storage shed of a church. I guess we got lucky because now we are going to be adopted!
Hello, I’m Dianna. I hope you watch our videos. I think I might be the best looking one of all of us. What do you think?
Am I cute enough to adopt? Just click on the blue button and I can be yours!
Bella
Bella is a female Labrador mix. She is three or four years old and weighs about forty five pounds.
Oh boy! They dumped me outside a Dollar Store and I almost got killed by cars!.
I’m the perfect dog, I don’t know why they dumped me. It broke my heart. I guess what Charlie would have said is true – dumping me was their loss.
Anyway, you can see in the video that I am good with cats. I love people and kids too. I’m even good with other dogs.
By the way, I’m housebroken too.
Will you adopt me? Please?
Jesse
Jesse is a female Collie mix. She is one and a half years old and weighs about fifty pounds.
Hi, I’m Jesse. I am one of the best dogs you will ever find. I am good with everyone, even other dogs and cats.
I am housebroken too.
Hansel
Hansel is a German Wire Haired Pointer / Labrador mix. He is seven months old.
Hanzel is a male and weighs forty to forty five pounds.
Want to know what my foster here in Maine says about me?
Well, here it is:
“Hansel is a bit shy but is coming out of his shell and trusts humans a little more each day.
He is good with kids, cats, and walking on leash in a pack. He loves to chew on bones, chase balls, and play with squeaky toys.
Hansel is housebroken, crate trained, and is learning to come for a treat. He needs someone who can be patient and continue building his confidence.”
Hello out there! I’m Hansel and I’m already in Maine and just waiting for you!.
Will you adopt me? I love everyone. I get along with everyone including other dogs. Of course I love people and kids too.
I am hoping that you will be the one to adopt me. I just want to have a family of my own to love. Will it be yours?
Have you seen the video of my friend and I playing in the water? I love water!
I’m doing much better on a leash now. I love squeaky toys and chewing on a bone. I’m even housebroken. So what are you waiting for? Please adopt me! I’ll be really really good!

Mr Carson and Mr Bates are my beautiful puppies. I am very proud of them and hope that they get adopted into wonderful families.
Branson and I are a pair. we really love each other and want to be adopted into a family together. Will you adopt us?
Hi, I’m Branson. Sybil and I have been together for a long time and we want to be adopted together.
What about Mr. Bates and Mr. Carson? Yep, Sybil is their mom and I can plainly see that they don’t look like me. Sybil says they are. I could get a DNA test but I don’t think I will. Maybe it’s better if I don’t know for sure.
But I keep thinking about this black Lab from Wisconsin that was hanging around…
Pupsy
Pupsy is a male one year old Corgi mix. He weighs twenty five pounds.
Did they tell you? I love everybody – Kids, other dogs and all. I am very sweet and easy to get along with.
I’ve never even met Charlie. they tell me that he has saved lots and lots of his friends. They said I am one of his friends and that I’m going to Maine where I will be adopted. It sounds like a dream. I hope it comes true!
Trevor
Trevor is a male Labrador mix. He is eight months old and weighs about forty five pounds.
Hey Hey Hey I’m Trevor!
Did they tell you that I’m already housebroken? I think people really like that. I just love everybody. Cats are OK with me, I just ignore them.

You know what? I really hope you are the one who adopts me.
Sweetie Pie
Sweetie Pie is a Chihuahua mix. She is six years old and weighs six to eight pounds.

I’m good with everyone. I love people and other dogs and even cats. I’m housebroken too,
So will you adopt me? Please?

Gizmo and Luna
Gizmo and Luna are two to three year old Chihuahua mixes. Luna, the female weighs eight pounds.
Gizmo, the male weighs eight to ten pounds.
Gizmo is my friend but we are not an “item”. I mean, we don’t need to be adopted together.
Luna and I lived in the same house. I bet you didn’t know that.
I am very outgoing and I love to meet people. I am friendly and get along great with other dogs and I love kids.
Luna? What do I know about Luna?
Well, she has really long legs. She can be a little shy at first but she will warm up quickly. She is not bitey like some little dogs.
Luna and I are both housebroken. So what more do you want to know? Which one of us will you be adopting?
Abby
Abby is a two year old female Hound mix. She weighs about fifty pounds.
Even though I was left tied to a tree in the woods with no food or shelter, I still love everybody.

Alayna
Alayna is a female Rat Terrier mix. She is one year old and weighs eight to ten pounds.
Can you see my eyes? I have X-Ray vison and I can see into your brain. You haven’t decided to adopt me yet. Look deep into my eyes. Maybe I can change that.
Hi, I’m Alayna and I’m hoping you will adopt me. I’m good with other dogs, especially small ones. I am very sweet with people. I haven’t been around cats so I don’t know how that would go.
So back to the important part – Will you please adopt me?

I hope she gets adopted into a great family.
I want to be adopted too. Any chance you will adopt me?
What people are saying
Everyone at Rescue Charlie’s Friends, we can’t thank you enough for all that you do with your amazing rescue! Our new addition Clara (aka Azure) is loving her new life here in Lincolnville and her new friend Trigger is in love.
Thank you again for all of your hard work!
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.
