Charlie's Success Stories

I’m Charlie and I can’t thank you enough for helping me rescue my friends!

We are incredibly grateful to all of you!

Scroll down to see some of my friends. These are the lucky ones that have been rescued, brought to Maine and adopted into loving homes. It took a lot of work and dedication from the many volunteers who made it happen. These are happy dogs.

I’m sure they join me in thanking everyone involved including all the volunteers, sponsors and our many generous donors.

These are Happy Dogs!

Here's Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear had evidently been target practice for someone with a pellet gun. When he was rescued from that horrible environment, pellets had to be removed from his skin.

Teddy Bear is living up to his name. He is very loving with kids, other dogs and loves to cuddle. He is a little shy around men but with a little patience, he soon warms up.

Teddy Bear has done great at doggy daycare. He is now with a Foster so we will soon have more information about how he does in a home environment.

Hi, I’m Teddy Bear. I’m a one year old Labrador mix. Even though I had a bit of a tough time recently, I don’t let that affect my disposition. I’m with a Foster now and life has never been so good.

I really want to be adopted. I will love you and your whole family. I just want to be a part of your family. Will you adopt me?

Hi, my name is Tucker. I am an Aussie, Collie mix. At least that’s what my mom said.
I am six month old male and I get along great with people and other dogs. I just want a little love. Will you adopt me?

Aggie

Aggie is a one year old Chihuahua mix. She is a female.

I have a good disposition and I am good with kids, adults and other dogs. I haven’t been around cats much but I’m willing to try.

Bo and Jethro

Bo (the black one) and his brother Jethro (the brown one) are eight week old Labrador / Hound mixes. Both are males.

Hi, I’m Bo and I’m a Labrador / Hound mix. I would love to be a part of your family. What do you say?

I’m Jethro. I think that’s a pretty cool name. Will you adopt me?

Lizzy

Lizzy is a three year old female, English Spaniel mix.

Mister and Twister

Mister and Twister are brothers. They are two year old Shih Tzu mixes.

German Shepherd / Retriever Mix

Black Pearl’s mom is a purebred German Shepherd. Black Pearl is seven months old, very sweet and shows no signs of aggression with food, people or other dogs.

Black Pearl

Black Pearl is in Maine and staying with a Foster. Here is what her Foster says about her:

“Black Pearl truly is a gem! Going for a walk? She’s ready to join you! Getting in your car? She eagerly jumps in and quietly lies down to watch the scenery fly by. Pearl greets everyone with kisses and a wagging tail: cats, dogs, and people. But most of all she loves to play with you and then rest by your side. She is very smart and a quick learner as she looks to you for guidance. She is completely housebroken and is calm and quiet. Walking on a leash is a breeze as she listens to you telling her where you’re going. Her puppy energy is delightful and she plays with her many toys but she still needs to be monitored as to not grab things that are not toys. And when she does all you have to say is “Pearl no!” and she immediately stops. She is content with sleeping in her crate when no one is home and at night. Pearl is looking for her person(s) who will love her and continue teaching her new things!”

Black Pearl is in Maine and ready for adoption. Check out Black Pearl’s videos, courtesy of her Foster.

I’m Black Pearl and I’m just waiting for you. I want to be your very best friend!

What people are saying

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.
