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. We already have the land. We have most of the funds needed for a building. We hope to raise the rest soon so we can make his dream come true. You can help with a donation to his GoFundMe account.
Meet Charlie's Friends

Nellie Mom and the Little House on the Prairie
Nellie is a two to three year old female. She is a Chihuahua mix.
Check out her gorgeous babies! Three girls and two boys!
Val thinks she has a cute puppy, but she hasn’t seen mine. Mine are WAY cuter. Just wait until next week when their pictures are here and you can see for yourself.
I can be a little protective of my puppies, but wouldn’t you be?
I’m Mary. I’m one of the girls.
I’m Laura and I’m a girl too.
I’m Harriet and I’m pretty sure I’m a girl too.
I’m Charles. Please adopt me before my sisters drive me bonkers.
I don’t know what Charles’ problem is. Our sisters aren’t driving me bonkers in fact I love that they are around to play with. They are lost of fun.
Dixie
Dixie is a female American Bulldog. She is seven months old.
Hi, I’m Dixie. I love to walk in the woods and ride in the boat. In fact, every day since I got rescued has been WONDERFUL! I love to be around people and I’m fine with other dogs. I still have a lot of energy so sometimes I might accidently bump a little toddler and knock him down. But I still love them and will be glad to lick them and make it all better.
I can’t wait for someone to adopt me and let me be a part of a real family.
Will you adopt me? I will love you forever and ever!
Here is what Dixie's Foster said about her
She’s a great dog. Awesome on the leash. House broken. Friendly, very happy. She’s a little apprehensive when meeting new people, but submissive and friendly.
We went to the lake yesterday, she hung out all day, did awesome on the boat. Has had a couple long walks in the woods.
Great with older kids.
She has met our little puppy, she would like to play with him but she is double his size so we didn’t let her. We had her outside with our other dog this morning, both on leashes. She was a little excited but was soon able to lay down calmly near her. She met our cat, it didn’t even phase her when the cat hit her on the head as she walked by.
We passed a couple dogs on the trails in the woods and Dixie was totally non reactive. She even will sit as they go by.
She is big, probably 55 pounds and may be a little overweight. She should be walked 30-45 minutes a day. She is not really a runner, haven’t seen much crazy zoomies or anything.
She knows her name, Dixie
Aria
Aria is a three year old female Husky. She weighs 45 to 50 pounds.
Maine! I have no idea where it is, but I think it’s where I’m going and when I get there I’m going to have a family to love! I can hardly wait for that!
Please tell them that I am great with kids and other dogs and i’m very fluffy.
OH NO! I just tested positive for heartworm. I’m being treated now but I can’t come to Maine until after I have been cured and tested negative. Treatments will take a month or two. I won’t see you until later. Sorry.
Sky
Sky is a Female Husky mix. She is one year old.
Sadie
Sadie is a two year old female Terrier mix. Sadie is a lovable, well behaved dog. She just needs a little time to learn to trust you.
So I hear that my sister Shania thinks she is daddy’s favorite daughter. Just let her think that. I know that I’m really the favorite but just let Shania think she is. It doesn’t do any harm and it makes her feel better. It’s great for her self image and self confidence.
Meanwhile, why not adopt me? My head is in reality, not fantasy.
Shorty
Shorty is a male ten month old Chihuahua mix.
This is his story, as told by his Rescuers in Alabama:
“This handsome young man is Shorty. He came to a shelter after a meth lab drug bust. We think he was high on meth on arrival and prolonged exposure has made him blind. He is around 10 months old.
There are some neurological issues. Sometimes he barks at his own tail.
He is underweight, weighing only four pounds. This is either from lack of food or from too much drug exposure.
Sometimes he walks wobbly and is unsteady on his feet. The veterinarian thought this is likely his brain not telling his body what to do, but he does get around fine.
He has sensitive paw pads so we are using washable puppy pads and paw balm. He is loving, sweet and deserves to live a life where he will no longer be in harm’s way, fed regularly, loved, and his very special needs are taken care of.
He will likely live in long term foster care if not adopted. He will have on going needs.”
So that is what they told us about Shorty.
Are you the person he needs? Are you the person who will take care of him?
I’m Shorty. Did they tell you about my life before I was rescued?
Well it was a little strange. A lot strange actually. But I still love people and I will love you if you will adopt me. Will you?
Bert & Ernie
Bert and Ernie are a bonded pair of Chihuahua mixes. They are one and a half years old.
Wow, are we a pair! We just love to play, play, play. We have lots of energy and even more love to give.
Will you adopt us? Please?
Why not? Aren’t we cute enough? We are just a cute as any of the other dogs coming to Maine and we have LOTS of love that we will give away to the family that adopts us.
We promise!
Maine Wildlife Crew
Three Border Collie / Jack Russel mixes. All Boys!
My brothers and I are some pretty cool dudes. Will you adopt me?
I’m Eagle. That’s my name and i really like it.
I was half asleep when they took these pictures. Normally I’m wide awake and full of energy like any other puppy. Could they take my picture then? Nope. They picked me up out of a sound sleep and just took it. How is that supposed to help me get adopted.
My brothers and I get along great with each other. We run around and just have a great time.
I’m hoping that we all get adopted. Not into the same family! Holy cow, that would be too much! Nope, I just want to get adopted into a family that will love me and let me love them. That’s all.
Blue Bell
Blue Bell is a Heeler mix. She is a female and is nine months old.
I’m still a puppy and I love to play and roughhouse. I love other dogs but get a little nervous around smaller dogs.

WHAT A PAIR!
Basil and Thyme
These dogs are Amazing
Basil and Thyme are a bonded pair and are best if adopted together.
Basil is a four or five year old female Terrier mix. Thyme is a three or four year old female Chihuahua mix.
Hi. I’m Thyme. Basil and I have been together a long thyme ( a little humor there) and we really rely on each other.
Basil is a little shy at first but she soon warms up to new people.
Will you adopt us?
Hi. I’m Basil. Did you know that Thyme had a tumor removed from her mammary gland? It’s all OK now, but it really had me worried for a while.
Will you adopt us?
Donovan
Donovan is a male Boxer mix. He is one to two years old. He is a very sweet boy!
I was just abandoned one day. I don’t know why they dumped me. I was always a good boy and I never did anything bad. Except that one time I ate the remote control, but that was a long time ago when I was just a puppy. Do you think that’s why they dumped me?
I am full of life and love and I just hope that you will adopt me. I promise not to eat the remote control. Ever. I love everybody and I play great with other dogs.
So will you adopt me? Please?
Maine State Parks
Heeler mixes. Three females and two males.
I’m a boy and I sure am glad. Normally I don’t wear bows on my head like a girl, but they made me do it.
Hi, I’m Acadia. I got all excited when they put a bow on my head and said i was going to be adopted! WOW. I can’t wait to be adopted and be part of a real family. I just mentioned the bow because they said it would help me get adopted.
My name is Popham. how do you like my bow?
I’m Reid and I’m a boy. They told us that when we get to Maine, we will be adopted. I sure hope so.

I can see you. I know you are looking at me and I hope you like me. I already like you. It’s sort of love at first sight. I would love to be adopted and be part of your family forever.

Tankerbell

Five Boys and a Girl! These incredible Labrador mixes were nine weeks old in the pictures.
I’m Flour and I’m the only girl in the Baking Crew. Will you adopt me and get me away from all my brothers? They are making me crazy!
So she says we make her crazy? You should see what she puts us through!
I’m a boy. Would you like to adopt me?
I’m a boy too. I just want to be adopted. No drama, I’ll be the best little puppy you ever did see.
Well I’m a boy too and I’ll be a wonderful part of your family if you will just adopt me!
Let me check. Yep, I’m a boy. Would you like to adopt a boy? How about this boy? How abouting ME!
You tired of hearing about them and their silly stories? Well then, choose me. I’m a simple, down-to-earth sort of guy. I cause no trouble and I just want to lay on the couch with you. Of course I also love to run around on the lawn and chase the ball.
So please adopt me and all will be well!

Ruff & Gruff Group
Mom and her puppies, two girls and a boy! All are Terrier mixes. Mom is one year old and her pups are six months old.
Hi, I’m JK Growling.
We were rescued from deep in the woods of Alabama. We were doing our best to find things to eat, water to drink and basically just to survive. Things are so much better now, but they will be even better when we get to Maine and get adopted!
Have you seen my puppies? Aren’t they the cutest ever?
I’m their mom. I am hoping you will adopt one of my babies. I really worry about them. I try to teach them all the important things, like stay away from porcupines and don’t drink out of the toilet, but they are so young and have so much to learn. Please take good care of them. I hope to be adopted too. Will you adopt one of my babies? Will you adopt me?
I’m Ellen Degeneruff. Will you adopt me? If not me, then how about adopting our mother. We think she is the greatest and we hope everything works out well for her.
Hi, I’m Bobby McGee. I told my mom I went on the road to check out a stick that was there and this big car thing went wizzing by and almost hit me. Wow did she get mad!
“How many times do I have to tell you to stay off the road?!!?” Wow. What’s the big deal? Nothing happened. You’d think I ate the furniture or something.
I’m Billy Hollidog and I would love for you to adopt me. Will you? I’ll be a really good puppy and I promise i will love you forever!
Chrissy
Chrissy is a female Chow mix. She is one year old.

The Stephen King Crew

Please adopt them and get them out of here!
Or you could just adopt me and get me out of here! I like the sound of that even better!
So what are you waiting for?
Hi, I’m Dreamcatcher. I would really love to be a part of your family. Will you please adopt me? It would make me the happiest puppy ever!

What? Yes I’m Tarzan. What? You’re Jane? Oh, yea sure, you’re Jane, right, yeah. Like that’s new. I’ve never heard that before and I’m only twelve weeks old and I’ve never even seen the movie.
What? You really are Jane? Like that’s your NAME? OH, Jane, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to mock you. Well, actually I did but I’m sorry if I made you angry. I didn’t know your name really was Jane.
Is it OK if I call you Jane? Anyway will you still adopt me? It would make me really happy and I won’t ever mock you again. I’ll be your Tarzan and you can be my Jane. Deal?
Can you maybe sign me up for tree climbing classes? Those squirrels are hard to catch.

Lucy and Frank
Lucy and Frank are male and female Chihuahua mixes.
I’m Frank and my sister is Lucy. We are coming to Maine. I hope she gets adopted because I worry about her. I mean, a little girl puppy like that just needs to have a family that loves her, don’t you agree?
My brother worries about me all the time. I think it’s really cute that he worries, but I’m a big girl and I can take care of myself. I really do want to get adopted though, will you adopt me?
Mowgli
Mowgli is a male Shepherd mix. He is twelve weeks old.
Hi. I’m Mowgli. I have no idea how I got that name or even if it means something. I think it sounds pretty cool, but if you adopt me we can maybe work on getting a new name. I don’t think they are very expensive.
I’m just a young puppy so it will be a while before my personality comes forth, but you can be sure I will love you at first sight and forever after.
BO

Hi, my name is Bo. My dad is DC. My dad, my sisters and I were in a Hoarder’s house and it was awful. We are very glad to be out of there.

Do you like to walk? Do you have a TV? I’ve never really seen a TV. I hear they have movies about dogs on there. Do you think someone will adopt me? I sure hope so. Do I talk too much?

Shelley

Potter
Potter is a male Schnauzer / Terrier mix. He is four years old.
I’m Potter. They say I’m a Schnauzer / Terrier mix, but I’m not so sure. I asked my mom who my dad is, and I didn’t get a straight answer. She was just like a politician. She just talked on and on and never answered the question.
Whatever I am, will you adopt me? We could send in the DNA and maybe get a scientific answer! I guess it’s not really important. I am who I am and that’s that.
Daisy
Daisy is a female Chihuahua mix. She is four or five years old.
My name is Daisy. I’m a little terrified when I first meet new people. If you had my life up to now you would understand. After I’ve known you for a little while and realize that I can trust you and you won’t hurt me, I will fall in love with you and love you forever!

I love to chase balls and bring them back to you.
Winston
Winston is a male Shepherd / Corgi mix. He is one year old.
They say I need to “Learn my manners”. Well, that’s just because no one has ever taught me. I mean, what if no one ever told you not to talk with your mouth full. You would probably do it, right? Well, it’s like that with me.
So if you adopt me and show me how you want me to behave, I promise to do my BEST to please you. OK?
I’m Winston and I’m just hoping to be adopted.
I promise to be your best friend forever and ever.
Spot
Spot is a male Labrador mix. He is seven months old.
Hello, my name is Spot. I like my name because it goes with the spots on my back. I’ve never really had a family of my own, so I’m hoping that I will get adopted when I come to Maine.
Will you adopt me? Wouldn’t that be cool? You could say “This is my dog Spot” and I would wiggle and be so happy. The sound of it brings a tear to my eye. “This is my dog Spot” MY DOG. How I’ve always wanted to be a part of a family.
Will it be yours? Will I be YOUR DOG SPOT?
Bonnie
Bonnie ia a Dalmatian / Great Dane / Labrador mix. she is one year old and weighs fifty pounds.
Hello, I’m Bonnie. I’m going to tell you right now – I don’t like being on a leash. There, I said it. I just wanted to get that out on the table right up front.
What? You won’t adopt me if I won’t walk on a leash?
OK, lets talk. Maybe we can work this out if we take it little by little. OK? I love everybody and I really, really want to be adopted. So maybe if we take the leash thing slowly we can work up to it. What if we just put the leash on me and you let me walk around the house with it on so I get used to it. You know, it will be like “OH that thing is still following me. It must be OK.”
I’m willing to try because I really want to please you and I REALLY want to be adopted.
Val
Val is a female Terrier mix. She is two years old and the mother of Kineo.
Hi, I’m Val. I’m a very sociable Terrier. Sometimes I’m a little shy at first, but I’ll warm up to you quickly.
I’m the mother of Kineo. Isn’t he gorgeous? I think he may be the best and cutest little puppy ever. I don’t think I’m biased, at least not so much that I can’t be objective, but I do think he is the greatest.
I’m Kineo. I’ll be really good and I learn quick. So will you adopt me?
My mom Val says I am a wonderful dog and my mom is always right.

Roo

I do have a little problem. I tested heartworm positive. I’m being treated now and I will soon be fine, but I won’t be coming to Maine until around July.
Will you adopt me?
Well Hello! I’m Roo. I am oh so very sweet and gentle and well behaved.
I’m good with everything – kids, dogs and I love everyone. I don’t know anything about cats – I’ve never been around them. Are they fun to chase? Oops. I didn’t mean to say that. I might be good with cats. We just won’t know until we try.
Will you adopt me?

Rescue Charlie’s Friends
News Center 6 Maine
One of our wonderful Fosters was on News Center 6 Maine on 4/25/2020
We wish we could say we created these hilarious videos, but in truth they were purloined from the internet
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.
From Foster to Adopter
I have always been a dog person.
For as long as I can remember I have had a special bond with these four legged loves.
When my karma died I thought that my heart would rip in two. To me, and many other pet owners, a dog is very much a part of your family, another child. There is nothing like the love that a dog has for their humans.
For many years I have wanted another dog, but as we all know it’s a lot of work and I’ve got enough going on in my life, Ha!
Fostering has been wonderful, it helps teach my kids responsibility, it shows them the importance of volunteer work and helping other beings, we get to have puppies around, and we got to save all of these beautiful dogs who otherwise wouldn’t have it so great.
I would highly recommend it for anyone out there who is a dog lover. It’s hard, yes, because you do fall in love, but it also gives life so much meaning, and it’s such an amazing feeling to see these dogs go to a new special home after coming from not so great circumstances.
This dog right here came into our life by chance. We are going away and the rescue just needed help with her for the weekend so they asked us. From the moment she got into our car, something was different. There was an immediate bond with my oldest and when we took her home it quickly extended to everyone. It just felt like she was coming home. We were absolutely not thinking about getting another dog right now, but just like Hazel, we absolutely could not let her go. She just fit. Even Hazel is realizing that she has a new body. This poor sweet dog had a rough beginning, but we’re here to make sure that the rest of her life is a grand one! I am so thankful that this sweet soul chose us.
