Rescue Charlies Friends mission is to prevent cruelty to animals by rescuing dogs that are abandoned, abused, neglected or about to be euthanized. These are Charlies Friends and these are the dogs we focus on. Our mission is to rescue them and provide food, housing, Foster care and veterinary care in their home state, transport them to Maine and again provide food, housing, Foster and veterinary care. All the dogs are matched with carefully screened families who adopt them into their loving, caring homes. Our mascot, Charlie, is himself a rescue dog.
