About Us

If you aren’t familiar with the mission of National Mill Dog Rescue, everything can simply be explained via our mission statement: To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome discarded breeding dogs and to educate the public about the cruel realities of the commercial dog breeding industry.

Started out of our founder’s backyard in 2007 after the rescue of breeding dog, Lily, NMDR has become a national movement to save commercial breeding dogs when discarded. Their fate otherwise would undoubtedly be horrific. Each year we welcome more dogs through our doors and grow a little more, saving countless lives. As of 2025 we’ve rescued well over 21,000 dogs!
