The Dog Liberator

The "Dog Liberator's" approach to rescue is a breathe of fresh air. The passion and patience to make sure these animals find safe, loving, forever homes is unsurpassed! They do not place a time limit on the animal and will foster until healthy, stable and the "right" match is made. Thank you Dog Liberator for your efforts. We love our perfect match!

How You Can Help

We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk

No, I’m not just another crazy dog lady! My years spent educating and advocating for the American Dog has not been in vain. On the contrary, because of my service to issues like euthanasia rates, homeless rates, gassing, puppy mills, etc., I have been fortunate to have created a group of like-minded people from all walks of life, throughout the United States—and even though we are getting results, the movement to educate and empower dog-lovers isn’t happening fast enough. We decided that now is time to take our work to the next level—to Rescue.

This website is dedicated to educating and advocating all animal lovers and soliciting change. Change takes place one person at a time, and the effect that it can make on an entire community can leave a footprint on society that can change a nation, like in the case of Carol Bowman-Henderson of Clovis, New Mexico, or Jim Long of Wisconsin and his Puppy Mill Truck. As a matter of fact, when one person stands up for what’s right and says “NO, I have had enough” that statement alone is much more powerful than any lobbyist or animal-rights group with a political agenda.

It’s time we stop depending and relying on big businesses to help our communities that are overrun with feral cats or homeless dogs. People listen to other people. If you consider yourself to be a rebel, have a passion for animals, and want to see things change—welcome.

Throughout this website you will learn about many challenges that face today’s American Dog. I hope, however, you’ll agree that no matter what we do, spay & neuter is paramount to our success. If we can all focus our time and energy on low-cost or no-cost spay & neuter programs for our communities, and forego all of the other issues that we are currently dedicated to, like stopping the gassing, breed-specific legislation, or stopping the puppy mills, we can create change.

People clearly follow by example.

Jesse Moranti:

I'm very proud to call "The Dog Liberator" my friend. Gisele helped me connect with my Border Collie "Titan", and in the process she lit a fire behind me that made me jump into my dreams head first. My dog daycare business "Sit and Stay" has now taken on a life of it's own! Titan has taken on the role of assisting me in everything from intake evaluations to wrangler, and physical trainer for dogs that have forgotten how to play. I am whole heartily grateful to "The Dog Liberator" for pointing out the obvious, my lifes calling, and for matching me with Titan- my new teacher, I learn more from him every day. Keep fightinng the good fight, we love you, and what you stand for!

Kim Sullivan Dahan:

Gisele aka "The Dog Libertor". I can not say enough good about you and your rescue group. I will forever be grateful to you for Trixie Belle, the BC we adopted from you. I can not even begin to imagine what might have happened to Trixie if you did not have the network of volunteers and the time you put into finding each dog their perfect match. Thank you for not letting Trixie, and so many other worthy dogs, slip into the cracks of oblivion. Would that you could save them all, but that is just not possible. Know that you have made so many dogs and owners so very happy. Thank you on behalf of Trixie, my husband and myself and all of those that you HAVE saved.

God bless.

Gisele's rescue and her team are so unique in their rescue style because she bring each dog's character to light in her videos. Each dog is brought to life by her touch and becomes the star in a video so they don't remain just a small picture on the web. This style of rescue insures each dog's chance of finding that forever home. Her family and team has a loving knowledge of every dog and their needs and they are brought into her home and taught what its like to be a family dog. Her network grows bigger every day and the list of happy homes follows. Every dog she pulls finds a forever home no matter how long it takes and thats not long! I drove across the state of Florida to adopt one of these special dogs. Chelsea the border collie is my new best friend. I recommend Gisele AKA " The Dog Liberator", her heart and passion to any shelter and pound and any family who knows that ultimately the Shelter dog make the best pets!

Goodness knows, I've shed a few tears for you, and your Chipley pup. You have my profound and deep respect for WHO you are and WHAT you do, and you INSPIRE ME -- and countless others. Not to mention you help so many who need you. Thanks for that -- AND SO MUCH MORE!
