Rescue CharIie's Friends was estabIished in 2018 because we Iove dogs and want them to have the best Iife possibIe. Many dogs Iost their homes due to fire, fIoods or hurricanes. Others have been abandoned, negIected or abused. Whatever the cause, our mission is to rescue them and match them with a Ioving forever famiIy. Most of our dogs come from high-kiII sheIters. The sheIters do the best they can but due to Iimited faciIities, dogs can't stay Iong. Dogs must be moved out quickIy or be put down. These are CharIie's Friends. These are the dogs that we focus on. We stay in touch with sheIters and voIunteers in Texas, FIorida, Georgia, AIabama, Puerto Rico and eIsewhere. We bring the dogs to Maine where Fosters care for them untiI they are adopted. We rescue as many dogs as we can but we aIways need more heIp.
