Comment: Please do not resubmit without addressing the feedback left by previous reviewers, such as adding sources and tone issues. The draft will not be accepted if you submit without changes. -- NotCharizard 🗨 22:33, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
Comment: The additional references help some but there's still a lot of information without references. The article also has to be rewritten for NPOV, I'm going to decline it for now so that you have time to keep working on it. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:31, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
Comment: This organization might be notable. Can you add references to verify the information in this article, and add more sources? BuySomeApples (talk) 21:32, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Liberty Dogs is a United States based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Reno, Nevada. The organization is focused on training and providing service dogs[1] to U.S. military veterans with disabilities, including post-traumatic stress, mobility impairments, and other service-related conditions. Liberty Dogs was established by philanthropists David and Cheryl Duffield and receives funding from the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, a private foundation that supports initiatives related to veteran support and animal welfare
History
Liberty Dogs was established to support U.S. military veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mobility impairments, and other service-related challenges. The program was founded by David and Cheryl Duffield, longtime Nevada residents and philanthropists known for their contributions to animal welfare and technology innovation.
On October 13, 2022, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its planned 27-acre training campus[2][3] in Downtown Damonte, Reno, Nevada. The facility is intended to provide specialized training for service dogs and veterans prior to their transition to home life.[citation needed][4] Completion of the campus is projected for 2026.[5][6]
In late 2024, the organization began training its first four puppies.[5]
Mission
The mission of Liberty Dogs is to support U.S. military veterans by pairing them with trained service dogs. The program provides individualized training for each service dog, tailored to meet the specific physical and psychological needs of their paired veteran.
Programs
Liberty Dogs offers several key initiatives:
- Service Dog Training: A rigorous training program where dogs learn to assist veterans with PTSD, mobility support, and other specialized needs.[7]
- Veteran-Dog Matching Program: Each veteran is carefully paired with a service dog based on their individual requirements.
- Liberty Dogs Training Campus: Set to open in mid 2026, the campus will feature training facilities, veteran housing, administrative offices, and specialized care areas for dogs.
- Two-Week Immersive Training Program: Veterans will participate in a residential training experience at the campus, learning to work alongside their service dogs before integrating them into daily life.
- Post-Placement Support: Continuous education and training to ensure long-term success for veteran-dog pairs.
Impact
Liberty Dogs is positioned to become one of the nation's premier service dog training programs. Media coverage from KOLO 8 News and 2 News Reno has highlighted its groundbreaking campus and its goal to provide veterans with greater independence and well-being through service dogs
Recognition
Liberty Dogs is funded and managed by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, a philanthropic organization recognized for its support of animal welfare and U.S. military veterans. The initiative has also received backing from local government officials, military organizations, and the Reno community
