Liberty Acres is a Sanctuary. Yes we adopt out animals but there are special cases where an animal would not be available for adoption. Many times in other facilities those animals would be euthanized. At Liberty Acres those animals become permanent residents. They stay with the staff and volunteers until the end of their life. It may be due to medical or behavioral but all of the dogs at Liberty Acres get a chance at a happy life.

Elaine is a dog who has a checkered past. This spunky Coonhound has been around the block and then some. Elaine is a good dog for those whom she chooses to befriend but they're numbers are few. She spends her time with her furry BFF Winnie. She doesn't trust new people and therefore will get to spend her last years with those she loves here at the Sanctuary.

Winnie was raised in a feral dog colony. She knows very little of human touch or interaction. She has come a long way here at the Sanctuary but still prefers her doggy friends over the two legged kind. She spends her days running thought the woods and snuggling with her BFF Elaine. We love our quirky addition to the Sanctuary and are happy to ensure she is happy for as long as she will have us.

Our little Louie seems to have more silver hair than most. He is an older fellow for sure. Louie has spent most of his life in rescues and shelters. He takes a bit of time to get to know and chooses his friends very carefully. Louie came to us with the intent we could find him a home. After several crippling episodes and vet visits we learned his "crankyness" was due to severe arthritus in and around his spinal area. Louie is on meds to keep him comfortable and he will no longer be searching for his forever. Louie is now a Sanctuary Citizen until his time on earth is through. 

Penny came to us emaciated and full of infection. At around 8 plus years old we were not sure she would make it. She has a couple of cancerous tumors and after several vet visits we learned she was also diabetic. Many places would have her put to sleep but one meeting with this goofy girl and you will see her light still shines bright. She can be very demanding and is the boss of the yard. She spends a lot of her days lounging on her couch enjoying the air conditioning. Penny is a high maintenance old gal but we don't mind maintaining her.  She will live out her days with us here at the Sanctuary.

Pearl was rescued from a fighting ring. No she wasn't a fighter, well not like you would think. Pearl was one of their breeding dogs only taken out of her tiny cage to breed with aggressive males. So I guess you could say she is a fighter, she fought her misery to stay alive. The scars of her past show on  her body but not her spirit. 

Her sister Maggie Mae was found abandoned after weeks of neglect. The poor girl was so thin she couldn't stand up and had to be carried. 

Thankfully these girls were rescued from their horrible pasts several years ago and had love with a family. Then in their golden years tragedy struck in the form of a car wreck that left them without a home. Pearl is 12 years old and Maggie is 17 years old. We are honored to have these wonderful girls in their final years. They are true inspirations.

Bleach, Laundry soap, Dish soap, Lysol Cleaner, Fabuloso Cleaner, Paper towels, Garbage bags (both 13 gallon and 30 gallon)

Stamps, pens, pencils, note pads, lots and lots of copy paper, ink for our ENVY 5540 printer

Small, good tasting training treats, good leashes and collars are all essential to our mission. Interactive toys and treat toys are also a great way for the dogs to exercise their minds.

As a Sanctuary we take in many animals that would be euthanized by other shelters due to an illness or injury. These animals come in with various medical problems that are costly to treat, however we know they are worth it. You can help us save these animals that would otherwise be forgotten.

Did you know that when you adopt an animal you actually save two lives? The one you are adopting and the one waiting to be saved by that rescue/shelter. There are so many animals all over the world waiting for a family like you. If you don't find what your looking for here at the Sanctuary please keep checking back or stop in at another shelter. They are waiting.

 Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems. By spaying and neutering your animals you are also helping to prevent the overpopulation of companion animals. It just makes sense.
