Raise a Puppy. Change a Life.

Help raise a Liberty Dogs™ puppy and transform the life of a U.S. Veteran living with PTSD.

Change a Veteran’s Life

A flagship initiative of the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, Liberty Dogs™ is a national Service Dog training and placement program for U.S. military Veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). Liberty Dogs offers hope and dignity for Veterans seeking support for their healing and recovery.

Discover the impact of raising a puppy.

When you welcome a Liberty Dogs™ puppy into your home, you’re doing more than caring for a dog — you’re helping build the skills that will one day support a Veteran living with PTSD. Many Liberty Service Dogs start in volunteer homes, where their training begins with love.

No cost. Full support. Flexible to your life.

Give Hope to a Hero

Raise your puppy with confidence and expert support.

Liberty Dogs™ provides comprehensive support every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident, equipped, and empowered to lay the crucial foundation for these life-changing dogs.

Raising Smokey has been an incredibly rewarding journey. She’s grown so much, and being part of her training as she prepares to support a Veteran has deepened my appreciation for everything Liberty Dogs does. It’s an experience I’ll always value.
