Your donations throughout the year help us save thousands of production-line breeding dogs from puppy mills. We are the nation’s leading organization solely devoted to the hands-on rescue of this vulnerable population of "man's best friend." We believe these dogs deserve a future beyond the despair of cage confinement and overbreeding; they deserve a future filled with love, care, and a sense of belonging. Our goal is to prepare each and every one for life as a treasured pet. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTNdnN9BtJM)

Testimonials

DogDad1, August 2023: NMDR is the voice for thousands of pets rescued from dreadful conditions and treatment in puppy mills nationwide. Our Barbie (frmrly Patrice) is shown twice in the photo gallery. She brought us brought us 5 years of complete love and joy, all thanks to the efforts of NMDR and their outstanding army of volunteers. They create miracles out of the most unthinkable situations, and giving these innocent animals a safe, forever home while emptying puppy mills is at the core of their mission. They are unsung heroes doing thankless work, all while giving these dogs the ability to "simply be a dog" for the first time in their lives.

L.4xbk_s, August 2023: We were blessed to adopt our ShihTzu from NMDR in February of 2019, and she has been the light of our lives. The volunteers at NMDR are so supportive and caring about the rescuing of mill dogs who have been neglected and abused. We are fortunate that Lexi was easily trained to go outside to potty and walk with a leash. She is now playful and so responsive to being loved. I urge everyone to adopt a dog who needs a second chance as they want return your love tenfold.


 


Giving Activity

Mission

To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome discarded breeding dogs and to educate the general public about the cruel realities of the commercial dog breeding industry

Background Statement

Over the past 16 years, NMDR has grown from a small group of passionate volunteers operating out of its founder's home to a nationally known, highly respected organization with a 14,000 sq. ft. shelter and state-of-the-art veterinary clinic/rehabilitation center located near Colorado Springs.

An average of two trips monthly to Midwest states, where puppy mills thrive and government oversight is minimal, has resulted in more than 20,000 lives transformed through medical and social rehabilitation and adoption.

To this day, the organization relies heavily on its 400 volunteers for essential services, with paid staff totaling only 39 individuals.
