Locally Loved, Passionately Caring for Your Furry Friends
Mountain Dogs was founded by Dave Liedman, an experienced pet care professional with a deep passion for animal welfare. Before moving to Bend, Oregon in 2019, Dave spent 18 years in Washington, D.C., where he co-founded City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue, an organization dedicated to saving pets from euthanasia and placing them in loving homes. His journey into the pet care industry began in 2004 when he acquired City Dogs Daycare, which he expanded to include grooming, dog walking, and a pet supply store, eventually growing to two locations in D.C. His commitment to both business and philanthropy was evident through his daycare’s ongoing support of local charities and his dedication to providing quality care for rescue animals. City Dogs donates thousands of dollars worth of boarding services each year for adoptable dogs.
Dave, along with his husband Darren Binder and their two children, Austin and Keira, has fostered nearly 50 dogs and cats, often taking in those with special medical or behavioral needs. His hands-on experience in pet rescue and his belief in providing a safe, enriching environment for all dogs inspired the creation of Mountain Dogs. Now in Bend, Dave continues his mission to offer exceptional pet care while fostering a sense of community among local dog lovers. At Mountain Dogs, every pup is treated like family, and their well-being is always the top priority.
