Transforming Lives, One Dog at a Time
Located in Peyton, Colorado, National Mill Dog Rescue (NMDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming discarded breeding dogs while educating the public about the harsh realities of the commercial dog breeding industry. Since its founding in 2007, NMDR has saved and cared for over 22,000 dogs, transforming thousands of lives in the process.
Rehabilitation and Second Chances
Each rescued dog undergoes a thorough rehabilitation process led by NMDR’s devoted team. This includes medical treatment, grooming, and behavioral support—critical steps for many dogs who may have never experienced proper care. Dogs like Rayna, who spent much of her life in a cage, finally get to experience the joy of running free, soaking up sunshine, and receiving love. Rayna’s adoption success story is a heartwarming reminder of the importance of NMDR’s mission.
Expanding Their Reach
NMDR’s impact continues to grow with the 2024 opening of a new location in Missouri. This expansion allows them to double the number of dogs they can save, offering a safe space for rescued animals and strengthening partnerships with rescue organizations on the East Coast. These connections help meet the increasing demand for adoptable small dogs and create opportunities to revitalize adoption efforts in local communities.
A Mission of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Hope
National Mill Dog Rescue doesn’t just save dogs—it inspires a sense of community among animal lovers. Through donations, volunteer work, fostering, and adopting, supporters directly contribute to this life-saving mission. Local events in Colorado Springs and Missouri further strengthen these connections, enabling individuals to engage with the organization and its goals on a deeper level.
