About Liberty

Liberty is a medium-sized, adult female Basset Hound/Beagle mix in Wetumpka, AL. She came in as a stray with three other dogs, and her past experiences have made her quite shy when meeting new people. She needs a little time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable she becomes playful and seeks out affection. Liberty lights up around other dogs and would do well in a home with kids. She’s heartworm positive and will begin treatment in mid-June, so she’ll be ready for adoption in late July. Liberty will be spayed before going home and her vaccinations are up to date. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
