Charley's Strays

Dog rescue in Benton, ME

Charley's Strays takes in dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes and shapes. We also endeavor to take in older and special needs animals other shelters won't take, and try to give them as much love and a comfortable home as possible until they find their forever home.
