Liberty is a Siberian Husky mix with a medium build and dazzling blue eyes. As an adult male, he's been neutered and is current on vaccinations. Liberty is located in North Fort Myers, FL, and is looking for a home that understands his selective nature with some dogs and his preference for adult and older child company.

About Liberty

Liberty arrived from a local animal control after they ran out of space, sporting striking blue eyes and a tough right front paw fracture. The rescue didn't hesitate—his injured leg got a consult in Naples and a major surgery for proper healing, followed by a long, committed recovery. Liberty can be selective around other dogs, often showing a preference for females, and he's still learning to trust strangers, but this work is ongoing. He shines with older kids and adults, but he isn't a good fit for homes with cats, young children, or most other dogs. If you're patient and willing to give a little extra effort, you'll find Liberty is an incredibly rewarding companion with a truly unique look. Ready to meet a dog who's absolutely worth the effort?
