National Mill Dog Rescue
“Sometimes it’s important to remind ourselves why we do what we do.”
“Lily, wearing tag #251, crouched, suffering in a small wire cage at the auction. Breeding dogs were being sold to the highest bidder. Lily looked straight into Theresa’s eyes that day and asked for help. Theresa purchased Lily and promised to “shower her with love until the day she died”. For the next 15 months Lily learned about being a dog. She learned about soft beds, belly rubs and rolling in the grass. But most importantly, Lily learned what love felt like. Despite surgeries and the best care possible, the 7 years of neglect at the puppy mill had taken its toll on her body. On May 13, 2008 Lily passed away.
Theresa vowed, in Lily’s name, to take up the cause for the mill dogs and thus National Mill Dog Rescue was born.

Please join us in our efforts. Share the story of Lily and the plight of mill dogs everywhere. Thank you.”
If you own a dog or puppy from a pet store, of course, love, care for, and train him. But if you are looking to add a pet dog to your family, please don’t buy a puppy from a pet store. Stay out of pet stores that even sell puppies, or you may end up supporting the puppy mill industry and dogs that are treated worse than livestock. We know that seeing a cute puppy can instigate an impulse buy, so stay away from the temptation.
Click on the link to the National Mill Dog Rescue to find out what life is like for those breeder dogs behind the scenes of those cute pet store puppies. The suffering that happens for the sake of pet store profits is a reality for many dogs. Please adopt a discarded breeder dog from National Mill Dog Rescue, or a dog or puppy from your local shelter or a reputable rescue. If you’re looking for a puppy of a specific breed, find a reputable breeder. Love Wags A Tail offers a service to help you find a puppy or dog through a breeder or rescue that will fit your family.
