BIO:   Liberty was picked up in rural Manchester, Tennessee along with her newborn babies, all of which died because she had no milk for them.  The Good Samaritan’s friend then reached out to us to see if we would take her.  Of course, we said we would!  We are sorry she was not cared for enough by her previous owner to help her babies survive, but she’s in good hands now and we’ll find her a great home.

Liberty has been in her foster home in Vermont for about a week.  She is so very smart and truly wants to make her humans happy.  She can be very independent or have fun and play like a puppy.  She is amazingly fast!  Those long legs carry her over the ground with lightning speed.  For this reason, she must have a fenced in yard that she can run like the wind.  She does love going on leashed walks too, but they just aren't fast enough for her to expend her energy.   Liberty is housebroken to a doggie door and would probably just need a refresher on going to the door to be let out, or kept on a schedule if one is not available in her furever home. 

We cannot allow her to go to a home that has children under the age of ten or children that do not respect a dog's space.   We really would like to see her in a home with a small young male dog that she can play with too.  She has developed a slight alpha female personality and can be bossy, so therefore a home with another female will not be a good fit for her.

If you would like more information about this sweet little girl, please contact her foster family.  They look forward to telling you all about her.
