The Dog Liberator
Our Featured Pet...
Friendly Zorro has been waiting a long time for you to find him. He has been a a kill shelter since June of 2009. It tells you a lot about him that he was not put asleep. Across the board, the staff fell in love with him and recognized a dog full of potential. But they are located in an area that has a very casual attitude toward dogs and is not appreciative of Border Collies. And time finally ran out. Zorro was scheduled to be euthanized to make room for another dog. And so the Dog Liberator stepped in. Serena picked him up and drove him to Gisele, watching him in her rear view mirror. And he watched her. She told me that he sat there in the middle, enjoying all the new smells wafting in through the cracked window, but never taking his eyes off the road ahead. She was convinced that he was criticing her driving skills. He reminds us alot of Spock, another Border Collie that we recently placed ~ watching, taking it all in. Smart as a whip, he is quick to learn, anxious to please, willing to lead if you are not! Yup, a Border Collie. He already knows several commands including sit, down, speak and paw. Housebroken, friendly with other dogs and the official greeter when new people come around. Zorro has waited seven months for his family. I think that is long enough. Let's get him a home quickly!

Who We Are
The Dog Liberator is a small, foster-driven organization dedicated to identifying high-quality dogs and placing them in foster homes to avoid the trauma often associated with pounds, shelters and rescues. While in these homes, the focus is on care and training to turn them into well-balanced pets that can be adopted by loving people.
After volunteering for various local rescues, advocating, and educating the general public about the plight of the American dog, we have created an innovative way to rescue.
Within a very short period of time, our numbers showed that thinking outside of the box works. We have developed an innovative and detailed way to take in owner-surrenders and help overcrowded shelters. Our dogs are adopted quickly to high-quality and pre-screened homes simply because we work hard. Social networking, along with aligning ourselves with qualified foster homes has increased our ability to rescue, resocialize, rehabilitate and rehome significant numbers of out-of-time dogs.
Through caring and compassionate volunteers, The Dog Liberator has made an impact while remaining relatively unknown in the rescue network. The vast diversity of talent, expertise and energy in the personnel makes rescue spiritually fulfilling and rewarding to everyone involved.
We specialize in herding breeds and take in qualifying dogs from throughout the south. We are fortunate to have experienced dog-owners as fosters as well as trainers who help us help these dogs reach their full potential.
Our adoption fees may be higher than you might expect but it is a reflection of our size and our effort. We get very few donations outside of the fees themselves. We use private vets who, although they might wish otherwise, charge us for their services. Also, we do not hesitate to call on professional trainers to help us assess and guide our dogs over any issues they might have. I guess I'm saying, we think you'll find we're worth it!
You can help reduce the number of pets that are euthanized every year: Please, Spay And Neuter!
Adopting a friend
If some of our dogs catch your eye, please read more about them at thedogliberator.blogspot or on ourFace Book site. If you are then still interested in adopting, contact us at thedogliberator@earthlink.net or through Face Book. We will then conduct a telephone interview and hopefully then arrange a meeting. If the dog you picked turns out to not be the right one or is already adopted, we will make every effort to find the right dog for you. When we find a good home for a dog, we don't want it to go to waste!
Come Visit Us!
Being a small organization, all of our pets are in foster homes, so meetings are set up on an individual basis after a telephone interview. We hope to meet you soon!
