National Mill Dog Rescue

We are happy to once again provide Grant fund support to National Mill Dog Rescue, based out of Peyton, Colorado. Each year, NMDR rescues hundreds of dogs from commercial breeding facilities located mainly in the Midwest. These are dogs who have had minimal human contact, live in cramped quarters with minimal shelter and generally do not receive basic veterinary care. When these dogs are deemed no longer useful or profitable, they are discarded and often killed. NMDR has fostered relationships with breeders to take these “useless” dogs. As NMDR’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome these discarded animals, these pups of all ages are now finding their way into adoptive homes to live the rest of their lives in loving homes.
