My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Joey and Katie came to the Sanctuary together and have always been together. Joey takes all of his cues from her. He is a timid boy which takes some time to get to know. Once he loves you he will follow you anywhere, as long as Katie does too. After working with him a couple of months we are able to walk him with the pack of dogs at the Sanctuary but he still needs vigilant supervision with them. He is good with Katie but doesn't seem to know how to interact with the others and can become agitated with them. Joey and Katie seem to have had little socialization outside of their own yard. A positive reinforcement trainer would be great to have on hand when adopting them. They do need adopted as a set currently. We were hoping to work on Joeys socialization skills enough that they could be separated but it hasn't worked out as so. Katie would do fine but we fear Joey would fall apart. They are both large teddy bear dogs and would do well in a large fenced area. They like to come in but as long as they don't get too hot or wet they like hanging out outside. If your interested in adopting Joey and Katie it will take multiple visits before they are comfortable with you enough to go home. To adopt them please go to www.libertyacresunited.com and submit your application. Their adoption fee together is $150. For more information you can call or text 765-969-4782

More about this rescue

Welcome to Liberty Acres United Rescue Animal Sanctuary. We are a nonprofit 501c3 Sanctuary with a focus on senior and special needs dogs. We want our dogs to have all the comforts of living in a home while they wait for their furrever family. The dogs live in tiny houses in small groups. Each house is furnished with comfy seating, doggy door, entertainment, heating/cooling and a fenced in area. There are 22 acres of property for the dogs to explore. The volunteers and staff spend their time taking the dogs on hikes on the trails, swimming in the pond or running through the woods in the six acre off leash area. Housing the dogs in this way helps us learn more about how they would do in a home setting. We are able to work with them on house training and other behavioral issues before they go to live with a new family. Our goal is to provide them with not only a place to wait for a home but a place where they can feel at home
