We were delighted to present a Grant to National Mill Dog Rescue. Based out of Peyton, CO, NMDR rescues breeder dogs from puppy mills throughout the United States. Before NMDR was around these “useless” dogs were destroyed by the puppy mills as they were no longer able to breed successfully. Puppy mills are known for horrible, often brutal, living conditions for dogs and pups. NMDR has rescued over 16,000 dogs, mostly purebred or designer mixes, and found them homes. NMDR gives behavioral training and full vet attention including spay/neuter, tooth extractions and other required procedures prior to the pups being put up for adoption.
