About Liberty

Meet Liberty, a wonderful girl who once faced a tough start in life. She landed at a high-kill shelter in Houston with a litter of puppies just days old and was placed on the euthanasia list six times. Luckily, a compassionate foster stepped up in time, allowing Liberty to raise her puppies safely. Now that her puppies have found their forever homes, it's Mama Liberty's turn to shine. At around two years old and about 40 pounds, Liberty appears to be a mix of Carolina Dog and Australian Cattle Dog. She's got cute speckled paws and a pleasant medium energy level. Liberty loves to play, go for walks, and enjoy her toys, but she also knows how to relax by your side while you work. She enjoys affection without being overly demanding, often inching closer for head scratches or belly rubs. Liberty is potty trained and is working on kennel training, adapting well to short sessions. She’s dog friendly, thriving with canine companions, though she gets excited when she sees other dogs while on a leash, so her foster is helping her learn to stay calm during walks. It’s best for her to be in a cat-free home. While she’s open to car rides, be mindful that Liberty can get a bit carsick on longer trips. More than anything, she’s just a nice dog—playful, independent, and affectionate in her own way. Liberty is ready to embrace her next chapter with someone willing to share all the joys of life. Liberty is located in Houston, Texas, but can be adopted nationwide. Her adoption fee is $500, which includes transport to her forever home. Start the process by submitting an application today!
