The Legacy of Liberty Dogs

Liberty Dogs was established by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation (DCDF) to honor and support two communities close to the hearts of its founders — disabled military Veterans and loyal canine companions.

Dave and Cheryl Duffield have a deep philanthropic commitment to funding transformational services and programs. Liberty Dogs joins Maddie’s Fund, Cornell University’s Duffield Hall, and numerous other public service organizations as beneficiaries of the Duffield family’s legacy of giving back.

The well-being of pets is directly related to the well-being of people, and to play a part in this relationship for 30+ years has been one of life's great treasures.
