Liberty + Mama K

Meet Liberty, a spirited pup turned calm, loving companion with a heart full of affection. Libs was adopted from the San Diego Department of Animal Services in Carlsbad. She had a brief stay there and was returned after being a little too curious around livestock, but it was clear she just needed a job to keep her busy. Full of energy and affection, Libs was a perfect fit for our program, and the shelter staff was thrilled to see her begin a life of purpose.

In December 2018, Libs graduated from our psychiatric service dog program alongside Navy veteran, Aaron, forming a bond that was truly one of a kind. Although she had to retire early from service work due to health complications, Liberty’s desire to have a job and share her love never faded. She joined our Canine Ambassador team alongside her long-time supporter and family of Aaron’s, Mama K, where she continues to brighten lives every day.

Now a calm, older dog, Libs loves to lay down and make herself available for anyone looking for a cuddle. She melts for chin scratches and often nudges hands, gently inviting the next person to share in her warmth. Libs spreads comfort, joy, and calm wherever she goes, proving that love, patience, and a gentle spirit can make a lasting impact at any age.
