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 has come true thanks to some very generous donations.

Summer
Summer is a female Beagle mix. She is eleven months old and weighs about forty pounds.

I am a really sweet girl! Will you adopt me? Please? I’ll be the best friend you ever had!
Rhett
Rhett is a male Cattle Dog mix. He is one year old and weighs about twenty five pounds.
Hi, I’m Rhett
I am a really good dog. I will make a wonderful addition to your family. I really want you to adopt me so i can be your best friend. After a while you will wonder how you ever got along without me.
So how about it? Will you adopt me?
This is my very favorite toy. I will let you play with it if you want. I’m very generous that way.

Cersei
Cersei is a Dutch Shepherd / Labrador mix. She is three years old and weighs forty pounds. She is the proud mom of five puppies!
Hello, Hello,. Hello! Before we talk about me, have you seen my babies? Aren’t they just about the best looking, cutest puppies you ever did see? Which one will you adopt? Do you want them all?
Me? I’m three years old and I weigh forty pounds. I’m great with other dogs and I am very sweet and friendly. I have no aggression, I’m just a good dog. I’ve been living on the porch with my babies. The lady just didn’t want us around anymore, so we wound up here. Thank goodness Charlie is going to bring us to Maine so we can get adopted!
Do you think we can live inside?
Sansa thinks she is cutter than me. Oh, she never comes right out and says so. But I can tell by the way she looks at me. That arrogant better-than-you condescending smirk says it all.
I hope I get adopted before her.
Sad? Do I look sad?
Well guess what Sherlock, come and sit in this crate for a couple of days and see how YOU feel.
Of course I’m sad. I just want to be adopted into a family I can love forever. Is that too much to ask? Is that so hard? Instead I sit here day after day listening to all the other dogs and puppies bark bark bark. It can drive a young puppy crazy!
Will you PLEASE get me out of here?
The Simpsons
Shih Tzu mix Puppies, just eight weeks old. Four boys and two girls.
I’m Marge and I’ll be the best puppy and the best friend you ever had.
Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?

My sister Queens and I look so much alike some people have a hard time telling us apart. I’ll give you a clue – I’m a boy and she’s a girl. Easy Peasy!
I’m still a young puppy. I want to be a great family dog when i grow up and learn all kinds of things.
I am hoping to be adopted into a family with children that will play with me. I hope they aren’t too rough with me and that they don’t pull my ears.
Will you adopt me?
Gremlin
Gremlin is a male eight week old Pittie mix.
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.
Anyway, they told me that Charlie will bring me to Maine and I will get adopted. I sure hope they are right.
Are you the one? Will you adopt me?

Blood Donors
These dogs were used to donate blood to other dogs during surgical procedures. Charlie would be proud that he rescued them because things would not have ended well for them otherwise.
Wow are we glad to get out of there! They kept us in cages unless they wanted our blood. They took so much that sometimes I felt weak afterwards.
I know I am speaking for all of us when we say how happy we will be to be adopted. We just want someone to love, that’s all.
By the way, they call me Marie Curie. I like it but you can call me anything you like.

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.
