Service areas:

San Diego county, Los Angeles county, Orange county, San Bernardino county, Riverside county, Ventura county, Kern county

The Liberty Dog Network was established in 2022 and is a small, Southern California based dog rescue. We rely on fosters/people to open their home to care for the dogs we rescue. We provide all medical care and supplies to our fosters, they provide the home and supply the love.

Mission and Vision

Our mission is to rescue the dogs that have been discarded and/or neglected and have ended up in our overcrowded and diseased shelter system.

Adoption Policy

Our adoption policy has multiple guidelines potential owners must agree to in order to adopt a dog from us. Our contract covers living arrangements (must not be kept as an outside dog, must not have poisonous plants in yard, and have appropriate fencing), and future care (must provide medical care). The contract also covers what to do in case the dog is ever lost, stolen, or killed. In addition, we require the adopter to return the dog to us if they decide they no longer wish to keep him/her.

"This is a great small rescue that I have enjoyed following and supporting for a while now. It’s wonderful to see how they are able to give beautiful and deserving dogs loving homes and better lives."

"The Liberty Dog Network is an amazing rescue. They take in animals that would other wise be put down and give them a second chance. I have been following the journey of Liberty the husky. She was at SEAACA, a high kill shelter, and was euth listed. If it wasn’t for the Liberty Dog Network she wouldn’t be here. They have given her so much love and have dedicated so many hours to make her feel like a normal dog again. Liberty really is thriving along with all the other dogs in their care. For this reason I believe the Liberty Dog Network really deserves this recognition."

"Liberty Dog Network rescued a black dog from the high kill shelter in Downey, CA. She was euth listed as she had pneumonia and was literally being walked to the gas chamber when they pulled her. They immediately hospitalized her and she was adopted by her Foster’s dad. He named her Lucky and she has the best life!"

"Liberty Dog Network has my utmost respect as an excellent rescue organization. I saw firsthand the care and understanding given to a very scared girl who didn't feel safe going for drive in car to veterinary spay appointment. She was allowed the time she needed to adjust to the thought of getting in the car. She was given the opportunity to regulate her nervous system rather than being forced and adding to her stress on that day. And many other circumstances of love. Thankful for Liberty Dog Network!"

— marianne h.

"The Liberty Dog Network is a small but mighty rescue. They rarely take on more than they can handle and are always striving to be nothing less than responsible. We’ve fostered 3 dogs with LDN, transported, helped with other dogs, and more for them. They took on several dire medical cases last year, only pulling from the euth list, and only pulling in Southern California where they are based. LDN has also built a little community with fosters helping each other out in emergencies, temp fostering, and more. We love LDN!"

"I have witnessed this rescue recently go to great lengths to help several dogs, and the most memorable one being a husky named Liberty. Liberty the dog ended up escaping, but I know the founder camped out and did everything in her means to find this dog. She was successful, but all this just speaks of her tenacity as someone in rescue."

"Liberty dog network is the best to work with in CA. They go above and beyond for their rescues. The kindest souls. We fostered & adopted my best friend from them. 💛"

"Liberty Dog Rescue is an amazing rescue. They are small but mighty. I’ve network online for euth-listed dogs in Southern California shelters and Liberty often steps in to help, even with the limited resources she has. She has also housed and kept dogs she’s rescued from being killed in the shelter, many who’ve ended up living with her for years before finally finding the perfect families so they can be adopted. Please consider honoring this rescue. They also partner and help other rescues too, often collaborating together to get dogs rescued and out safe before they are killed in overcrowded shelters. Liberty doesn’t do this for fame or any other reason, other than to save dogs and get them placed in loving homes."

— june m.

"Working with Libby has been amazing! She has given us the opportunity to share our love with our dog Bruce. We couldn’t be happier and are so thankful to Liberty dog network for their amazing work. We are so grateful for the work of this rescue. Thanks again Libby!!"

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Daily Exercise Calculator: How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?

Dog reactivity guides

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
