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.

Scroll down to see the available dogs and puppies! Most are here now just waiting for you! 

The Next Transport arrives on February 25th.

Our March Transports are on March 9th and the 16th.

Hi there! I’m Tosca and this is my family.

I’m a little lab lady and these are my babies.

Some of my pups are a little fluffy or even have blue eyes so everyone’s guess is that daddy must’ve been a really handsome guy!

Our story is sad.

I survived long enough on my own to get to a shelter… but that’s not a comfortable place to have puppies… it was scary.. and loud… and we were on what they call a “code red list” because they were too full and out of space.

I’m not sure who Charlie is…. But I know he and his friends saved my whole family.

The babies are old enough now that we’re about to travel to Maine! Wherever that is.

To meet our new families. I’m still available for adoption too.

I love everyone and desperately want attention.

I even tried to snuggle a cat for love. She smacked me though 🙄 rude. Anyway.

Sorry my babies are a little covered in their dinner here in their pictures.

They get pretty excited about having a whole meal to themselves.

Can you help us find our forever families?!

Hey y’all,

Can you imagine dumping a litter of puppies on the side of the road?
Tossed away like their lives don’t even matter?
Of course not, we can’t either.
But that’s exactly what happened to these sweet shepherd and Pyrenees mix puppies.
Luckily our rescue partners stepped in and made sure they were safe and fed and loved until they could be vetted and sent all the way to Maine to find their forever families.
These incredible sweet puppies are coming to Maine soon to find their furever homes.
Will that be you?

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.
