My Dream Dog

Welcome to My Dream Dog!

This feature will help you dog-lovers find your next dream dog; not from a breeder or puppy mill, but from a shelter, pound or rescue.  Adopting a rescue dog is fast becoming the right thing to do, but how?  I’ve had more of my adopters tell me that once they went onto PetFinder, they were overwhelmed, got lost, and couldn’t tell what they were looking at; they simply got confused.

It’s Match.com for Dogs!

The Dog Liberator has a tremendous success rate in matching up the right dog for the right family.  Most of the time, when we get an email from a potential adopter who is interested in Dog A, after reviewing their information, and doing a telephone interview, we learn that Dog B is a better fit.

Founded in the Summer of 2009, and adopting almost 700 dogs throughout the Southeast, our current return rate is less than 1%.

You don’t always get the dog you want,

but you always get the dog you need.

For those of you who know me and know The Dog Liberator, My Dream Dog should come as no surprise!  Admitting that I can only foster so many dogs at a time, and knowing that I have the ability to rescue on a much broader scale, My Dream Dog makes sense.  While space and resources are limited, my desire to rescue and my experience in creating the perfect match are not!

What if your dream dog is in South Carolina, and you live in Florida?  Let us help you find your dream dog, what do you have to lose?  Visit our Getting Started Page, and let us help you rescue your next Dream Dog!

Below is an email I received from John in 2011 which convinced me that I had to expand and offer our services to approved adopters who are waiting to find that perfect dog!

Dear Gisele,

Thanks so much for the wonderful site and information you have.  My wife and I have been looking for a dog for a few months now to join our family.  To say the least it has been a discouraging process.  The only places I have looked are petfinder.com and the local pound.

Well, at the local pound you just never know what kind of dog, temperament, and so on you will get.  With the adoption groups on petfinder I’ve found that the process has been more of an interrogation than an application.  I love what you wrote on your web site when you said: We’re focused on bringing together caring people with the right dog.   Thanks for a breath of fresh air.  You seem very reasonable and don’t have a laundry list of questions like, “who will brush the dog in the family and how ofter?”  No kidding, that was one of the questions on an application I started to fill out as I shook my head in disbelief.

 

The story, Tale of Two Paths, written by Sheila Coffman, explains on a personal level, why using a professional rescue to identify and find your next Dream Dog is so valuable.

Not all great dogs are within the collie breed.  I’m happy to be expanding, helping dogs get out of jail.  As always, I will be very picky, and take my time by asking all the right questions, to rescue only the best!
