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.

Hey Everybody!  

We are a big happy group of very exciting, playful puppies!

We get along with each other, playing and rough housing all day long.  When we get tired we snuggle up with out human and with each other.

We are all incredibly smart and eager to learn new things.

All of us are coming to Maine pretty soon and we are a little bit nervous about the trip on the bus.  The people here ensure us that everything will be OK and a nice warm bath will be waiting.  Yuck!  Of course we are looking forward to all the snuggles from Charlie’s volunteers.

All of us can’t wait to meet our new families!

Hi All, My name is Nova and I am the prettiest Husky you ever saw

I am good with other dogs and people. I love to play with them and run around.

I love attention and being loved.

Cuddling with my peeps is my favorite thing to do.

They tell me I have to stop jumping on people and I promise I am working on that.

I am really a sweet girl that just wants to be loved

Will you adopt me and give me my forever home with you?

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.
