Our July Employee of the Month award goes to a dog who has made friends with nearly every other dog here, as we got the pleasure of watching her grow up from the time she was just a tiny pup. I can almost bet that even if you don't know her, your dog does!

And this dog is STELLA!!!!! Otherwise affectionately known by our staff as "Stelly Belly." Stella plays a big role around here, so keep reading to learn more about her!

My job at the Lodge: My job is one called "lawn mower." It's means just what you think, they make me mow all the grass in the yard... WITH MY MOUTH!! I take it so seriously that I can't even hear them when they tell me I've done enough, I go above and beyond.

My favorite coworker: OH I really can't pick a favorite! I think my favorite is whoever is new, new friends are my favorite! I love showing them the ropes. :)

My favorite game: My favorite game is to do figure eights in between the staff's legs. I will go FOREVER round and round and round, and I will have a giant grin on my face while I do it too!

Fun Fact: My fun fact is that I am dedicating this award to my late older brother, Jack. He won the July award last year, and taught me everything I needed to know to win it this year! Everyone misses him so much, but this would make him happy. ❤️

Please enjoy this video of Stella as a tiny pup, crunching on a giant leaf!

We are filled with gratitude to be announcing such a special Employee of the Month for June. Mochi deserves a BIG congratulations from our Liberty Acres Community for being the FIRST graduate of Liberty Acres Dog Training lessons!

Mochi has worked very hard with Ariel, and his owners Thuy and Jim to become a polite and well mannered member of his family and community. Keep reading to learn more about him!

My job at the Lodge: My job at the Lodge was super serious and important. I had to tell Ariel every day that there were other dogs here. She never seemed to listen though! She kept saying something about "leave it?" I'm not sure. Thank Dog I am retired now though, that was stressful!

My favorite game: My favorite game is either fetch, or tug of war, I can't decide. Since I can't decide, I like to combine them! I play tug of war while the human tries to get the ball back, so they can throw it, so I can fetch it. Works perfectly! 😎

My favorite coworker: My favorites are Abby B the mini doodle, or Coco the rescue puppy. I LOVE to run around with them, but I have to remind them all the time to slow down, I have little legs!!

Fun Fact About Me: One fun fact about me is that I LOVE to have my ears scratched. Ariel never used a single treat while we were training, she paid me in ear scratches. Worked for me, less taxes anyway!

If you would like more information about training, please send us an email or ask us next time you come out! Please note: we do have a waiting list!

Our May Employee of the Month has an incredible story of resilience and bravery. Everybody meet Sadie! Sadie lived the first few years of her life in a tiny crate at a puppy mill. She was rescued by her wonderful owner, Sara, who has been working hard to give her the best life possible, and show her that not all humans are bad! Sadie has grown into an absolutely wonderful and outgoing dog that brings so much joy to our staff and other dogs when she's here. Please help me congratulate Sadie on her bravery, and how far she has come over the last year. ❤️

Here's a little bit more about Sadie!

My job at the Lodge: My job is to help teach new, scared dogs that this place is all about fun! When I first came here I was scared too, so I go out of my way to interact with the dogs that aren't too sure what to think of it all!

My favorite coworker: My favorite coworker is Baxter H. He likes to pretend that he's this big tough guy, but around me he's actually just a big softie!

My favorite game: My favorite game is about persistence. I will do my play bow as many times as it takes to get the other dog to play with me.

Fun fact: I have the most perfect dog bark of all time! I sound like those puppy toys that you would get for your kids. :)

Congratulations Sadie and Sara for all your hard work. ❤️

They say the early bird gets the worm.... well, it's a good thing dogs don't eat worms anyways, because we are always late! 😜

We promise last month's Employee of the Month winner has been worth the wait though, please help me in congratulating Kooper on his award!

He had alot to say during his interview, but I told him Facebook won't let me post an entire autobiography, so here's the parts he decided were the best to share...

My job at the Lodge: My job is to bring the FUN and ENERGY to the small breed social groups. Sometimes us small dogs just want pets, but I help to show them how fun it is to PLAY! In addition to pets of course.

My favorite coworker: My favorite coworker is Mochi the Frenchie. I dont get to see him alot, but when I do it is game on! We love to take turns chasing each other.

My favorite game: My favorite game is probably one I've named "springs." It's easy, anyone can play! Basically, you pretend you have springs in your feet, and see how high you can jump!

Fun fact: This fact is only kind of fun, because I will miss my friends at the Lodge so much, but I am moving soon! I am so excited to meet new friends and see new places.

Best of luck to Kooper and his wonderful pawrents in their new home, you will be missed! ❤️

Amazing work Jana'e ❤️

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible Jana’e Pederson of Liberty Acres Pet Lodge for generously donating not one, but two amazing makeovers to BENCHS dogs in just the past six days.

Just look at Romy—his ears are finally free again, and he’s feeling so much better!

Jana’e has been providing these transformative grooming sessions to our shelter dogs at no cost for nearly a decade. Her kindness, talent, and unwavering support mean the world to us—and to every dog she’s helped feel comfortable and loved.

We’re endlessly grateful for you, Jana’e. You truly are one of a kind.
