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!

Faye
Faye is a female Dachshund mix. She is twelve weeks old in the pictures. Is she cute enough?
Back again? I’m glad that you came back for another look. I’ve missed you. You keep hoping that someone has adopted me so you can quit thinking about it. Right?
You can’t stop looking at me can you? I’ve seen you here before. You keep coming back.
I’m looking at you too. You already fell in love with me didn’t you? I knew you would. I could see it in your eyes the first time you saw me.
I just want to be adopted and have someone that I can love for ever and that loves me too.
Will you adopt me?
I forgot to tell you. I would really love to lay with you on the couch and watch TV. I love animal stories but only the happy ones. I don’t like sad stories.
Did I tell you that I already know how to roll over? I learned that trick really quick. Will you teach me some more tricks?
Dougie
Dougie is a male Bulldog / Terrier mix. He is two to three years old and weighs 24 pounds. He has a long body, thirty inches plus his tail.
Hi, my name is Dougie. I’ve had kind of a long experience getting ready for adoption. I had to be fostered through heartworm treatment.
But now I’m a happy, healthy, very active dog and would just love to keep you company as your only pet.
I do love women more maybe than men, but men who cook are just fine! I am happy to help clean up any food they drop.
Baby Doll
Baby Doll is a female Shepherd / Pyrenees mix. She is twelve weeks old and weighs fifteen pounds.
THEY ALMOST FORGOT ME.
Yep, that’s right. They were putting this dog and that dog and all the other dogs on the website and then they realized that they were missing Baby Doll. That’s me!
How would it make you feel if everyone forgot all about you?
Well I wasn’t too happy about it, but at least I’m on now. Seeing as how I almost got left out completely, will you adopt me? That would make everything better and it would make me so very happy!
Mildred
Mildred is a female Collie mix. she is seven months old and weighs twenty five pounds.
I’m a Collie mix, at least that’s what my mom told me. I think Collie’s make good dogs, don’t you? Would you like one for your very best friend?
Well, I’m right here, I’m available and I would love to be your friend.

Hi, I’m Tuxedo. Would you like to adopt me? Well, I’m going to come to Maine soon and they told me that someone would adopt me.

Ellie

Do I look worried? I am.
I’m afraid that after I get all the way to Maine that I won’t get adopted. I know, people tell me that I will get adopted, that someone will love me and I will become part of a family. I hope they are right, but just the same I’m worried.
Will anyone adopt me? Will you?

I sure hope so.
The Toyota Crew
Five Boys and Three Girls! These Labrador mixes are six weeks old in the pictures.
I’m hoping that you will adopt me so I can get out of here. There are just too many brothers and sisters here. My sisters want to pull on my ears and that’s fine. I like that game. Trouble is when I pull on THEIR ears, it’s like a felony or something and they get mad or worse they go off whining somewhere and then they don’t want to play anymore.
Did you know that the Yaris is no longer made? Well just so you know, I’m no longer made either so that makes me one of a kind. Wouldn’t it impress your friends to intoduce me as your one-of-a-kind best friend?

You can adopt any one of us. In mother words, you can pick your own weather. Snowy, Stormy or Cloudy.

Cookie
Cookie is a female Australian Shepherd mix. She is three months old and weighs twenty pounds
Did you hear about what happened to me?
They put me in a crate and then they put me in the car. I thought we were going to go for a ride and have some fun. Well, then they stopped the car and put me, crate and all, at the side of the road. Then they drove off and left me there.
I don’t know what I did to deserve that. I ate the remote control once but that was a long time ago.
I was there for a long time. I was getting thirsty and hungry but most of all, I was terrified. I have never before been so scared. I knew that if no one saved me, I would die there.
Well, some nice people did stop and rescue me. I was so happy. I kissed them a lot.
Now they say that I am going to Maine and that I will be adopted. I didn’t know that that word meant, so they told me that it meant I would have a family to love that loved me too. Wow. I can’t wait to get to Maine!

Am I really going to Maine to be adopted? That’s what they told me, but they fooled me before.

Teeny & Weeny
Teeny and Weeny are female Chihuahua mixes. they are six weeks old in the pictures and weigh four pounds.
My name is Teeny and I just have a small question.
Why does Weeny get two pictures and I only get one? Why? I mean I don’t want to make a big deal out of it or anything, but it just doesn’t seem fair. Why should she get all the attention and I don’t get any, or hardly any? Are they trying to say she is cuter? Because she’s not. I’m cuter.
HEY WEENY. Listen up. I got it figured out. You get two pictures because you are NOT very cute and they feel sorry for your not-so-cute self so they give you two pictures because you obviously NEED two pictures just to get your self noticed.
What? The truth hurts? Sure it does. Now go lay in the corner of the crate and pout.
Wow. Teeny gets jealous over everything and over nothing. What’s her problem. Inferiority complex or something? Please either get her some counseling or get her adopted and out of here. Or better, get me adopted and out of here.

Boops
Boops is a male Leopard Dog mix. He is seven months old
Whoa Baby! I’m glad you are looking at me! I really want to be adopted and you look like a perfect person for me. Can I be part of your family?
Why me? Because I’m good with other dogs and I’m good with kids too. Oh sure, I have a lot of energy but I settle down prety quickly. Oh and one more thing – I’m housebroken already. Well, almost but if you pay attention and let me out when I ask, everything will work out great.
