National Mill Dog Rescue

We were happy to once again support National Mill Dog Rescue with Grant funds to contribute towards their purchase of a rescue transport van. NMDR rescues dogs from commercial breeding facilities, commonly known as puppy mills, throughout the US. Puppy mills are facilities where dogs are housed in small cages twenty-four hours a day, with minimal human contact or veterinary care, and are forced to breed their whole lives until they are physically incapable. At that time, many commercial breeding dogs are destroyed, others are sold at dog auctions, but fortunately, growing numbers are willingly released to NMDR.
