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.

I love to play and goof around and am really, really sweet.

Housebreaking?  Well we started training about that but I like it when you go outside with me while I take care of business.  Maybe it’s best if I am in a fenced yard or even on a leash so if I get scared, you can call me back.

Hey everyone, this is Lola! She  labrador/pit mix.

Now I know unfortunately Pitties get a bad rep, but I’m going to tell you about Lola, and you will want to meet her!

Lola was abandoned with her litter of puppies, those puppies were then stolen by neighborhood scum of the earth teenagers, and then they tortured and murdered her puppies.

Lola could have chosen to mistrust people, even hate people, but you know what? She didn’t, because she is incredible soul!

Lola is so quiet and sweet, and so very loving!

She looks at you with those big eyes, while her tail gently wags, and pleads that you adopt her.

I felt myself starting to cry, and I had to walk away for a bit, but i came back to let her know I love her.

She’s great in the car, she’s house trained, amazing with kids, great with other dogs, has the kindest temperament, and would make anyone a feel lucky to have her love!

Please consider this girl! If not to adopt, please tell your friends about her to help her find her forever home, where the horrible past will never cross her mind again!

Daisy

Daisy is a female Bulldog mix. She is twenty weeks old and weighs about twenty-five pounds.

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.
