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.

Rescue Charlie's Friends Annual Halloween Carnival and CarnEvil Haunted House.

It’s officially Spooky season!

Come join us for the Halloween event of the year!

What: we are putting on a CarnEvil haunted house attraction that will guarantee some screams, as well as a kid-friendly carnival outside with games and trick or treating.

He loves to play with his toys and is equally happy finding a lap to snuggle on.
 
Count sleeps quietly in his crate at night and pees as soon as he goes outside so we are pretty confident housebreaking

I’m not too sure what happened.  One day I was with my mom and then the next I am in a shelter by myself.  I was really scared even though the people here are really nice.

My puppies “the Space Crew” came up to Maine a while back and they all were adopted by great families

Anyway, they told me that Charlie will bring me to Maine too and I will get adopted.  I sure hope they are right.

Hi There, my name is Lolo and I am a very good looking guy if I may say so.

I am so looking forward to my new home up north, especially the winters.

Boy I can’t wait to see and eat the snow for the first time in my life.

According to my foster I am incredibly sweet, good with kids, people and other dogs.

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.
