Here's Charlie
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 building is under construction. The outer shell is nearly done. All we need to do is finish the inside with electrical and plumbing. We also need wash tubs and light fixtures!

BB
BB is a male Border Collie mix. He is twelve months old and weighs about forty pounds.
I am very sweet and a little shy. I love kids and people and I’m great around other dogs.
I’ve been around long enough to know how important it is to have a family to love.
Will you adopt me? I will do my very best to be the best dog and the most wonderful friend you ever will have.
Winston
Winston is an Airedale and Westie mix. He is a one year old male and weighs forty pounds.
I’m just waiting for you to adopt me!
Manley
Manley is a male Boxer mix. He is four years old and weighs forty five pounds. His jaw is malformed giving him a crooked smile. We don’t know if it is from birth or from an injury.
I’m four years old and I’m all grown up. I’m not a puppy anymore. I really need a family of my own that I can love forever.
Will it be yours? Will you adopt me?
Doris
Doris is a female Great Dane mix. She is five years old and weighs seventy seven pounds.
Hi, I’m Doris. One day they said “Come on, jump in the car”. Wow. Was I excited. I love to ride in the car. They left the window down for me and I was seeing everything and smelling all the smells as we drove along.
I was having a wonderful time. We came to this dog shelter place and they took me inside. I thought maybe we were going to visit a dog.
Then they just left. Just like that. No explanation, no “I hope you have a good life”. No anything. I don’t know why. I didn’t do anything wrong. Well, there was that time I ate the remote control but I was a puppy then.
I loved them and I thought they loved me. I guess not.
So now I don’t know what will happen to me. They say I’ll be going to Maine soon and be adopted into a new family that I can love. I sure hope so. Will you adopt me? Please?
I’m very sweet and I love everyone and I’m good with everyone. They say I’m like a Gentle Giant.
I’m very well behaved. I would never do anything wrong.
Mom Isabella
Isabella Mom is a Border Collie mix. Isabella is the mother of five Girls and one Boy. She is one year old and weighs about thirty pounds.
How do you like my babies? Cute, right? Well I hope you will adopt one of them. I want them to have a wonderful life.
I hope you adopt me too. I’m very sweet and i love everybody. I’m good with kids, cats and other dogs. I’m even housebroken. Will you adopt me?
I’m Cranberry. If I look a little sad, it’s because my sisters are so very very cute and I’m afraid I won’t get adopted.
What about you? do you think I will be adopted? I sure hope so.
Boone
Boone is a male Husky mix. Boone is a real love bug! he will do best in a house with no cats.
Hello, my name is Boone. I’m a Husky and I’m proud of it. Do you want a friend who will love you no matter what? I’m the one. Will you adopt me?
Chunk
Chunk is a male Pyrenees mix.
They only took one picture of me and I don’t know why. Other dogs got two three or more.
So is it because I am so handsome they think one is enough? Or is it because they think I am so ugly that there is no hope of getting me adopted?
That thought really scares me. I mean it REALLY scares me.
So you are the judge and jury. Am I ugly or cute. Will I be adopted or left to grow old in a shelter somewhere sleeping on a concrete floor? I guess it’s up to you.
Margarita Mom
Margarita is a female Beagle mix. Her puppies are two Boys and one Girl.
I’m Margarita and I’m the mom of these terrific puppies. What about me? Well, I’m very lovable. I want to meet everyone and I want everyone to be my friend. Sometimes I can be a little shy, but I’m always happy to meet new people. I’m good with otyher dogs too. Yes, of course I’m housebroken.

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.
