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 July 13th.

Meet Goldilocks, this beautiful girl is a Labrador Retriever Mix and weighs approx. fifty pounds. She is eight Months old.
In rescue…. We here in Maine are the lucky ones.
We get to place these dogs into the very best loving homes.
But the stories we hear about the dogs we take in, will break your heart, and really take away your faith in humanity.
This is Goldilocks.
She was found in a dumpster, and how sad, she wasn’t the only dog dumped in there….
Worse than that.
Goldilocks was the only one to come out alive.
She had a horrendous beginning, and that’s all we needed to know about her to say yes- absolutely we’ll take her and find the family she deserves.
Goldilocks deserves a life and family so wonderful that she will never look back on her beginning.

Hi I’m Laverne!

She’s super playful and outgoing.

This wonderful girl is starting the search for her family!
Can you help her find them?
Snow is about five years old and we believe her to be a Dalmatian mix.
She’s a big girl weighing in around sixty-five pounds.
Friends, meet Snow.
This gorgeous girl is here in Maine and is looking for her forever home.
Writing this post makes me cry a bit as we love her and she’s the perfect house guest but, in order to save more dogs, I need to leave space in my home to foster again.
Snow may be 65 pounds but she truly is a gentle giant.
She’s been great with all dogs she has met, is absolutely fine with my cat, and is great with my three year old daughter.
She has not had one accident in my home and is crate trained, although she doesn’t really need to be crated.
She walks well on leash and mainly likes to lounge although she does dance when excited and she offers her paw when she meets new people.
Snow’s ideal home would be with someone who works from home or is retired as she likes to go outside to potty every few hours (although she sleeps through the night with no need for a potty break).
Ideally her home would have at least one woman as she can be shy around men (she warms up quickly but women give her confidence).
She could go to a home with or without a dog but would prefer a lower energy companion and not a hyper, in her face type dog.
And while Snow has been amazing with my three year old and the neighbor’s kids, I think she would prefer a quieter home with older or no kids.
This girl so deserves to find a forever home where she will be loved and spoiled.
Will that be you?

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.
