Dog of the Week
Jose - Dog of the Week
Most often, rescues start because of the way one animal touches a person’s life…. such is the story of National Mill Dog Rescue.

Meet Lily, the inspiration for our work.  In honor of this extraordinarily special dog, in five short years, NMDR has rescued and placed almost 7,000 puppy mill survivors.
Take a few minutes to learn about this courageous little girl whose life of confinement and suffering was not to be in vain.

Editor's Choice - Way to Say Goodnight
National Mill Dog Rescue


Just about every night on the rescue’s Facebook page, a warm, well-fed, adorable - and safe - rescue dog is curled up for the night. The description goes something like: “Zeus has been out in the kennel’s outdoor play area all day, romping around with the zany Cocker Spaniels. He’s pooped. Zeus and all of us at National Mill Dog Rescue hope you have a great night full of sweet puppy dreams.” It’s a warm fuzzy that makes you smile as you go to sleep.
