About NMDR

Mission statement

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

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Why We Do What We Do

NMDR was established in February 2007, in honor of a forgiving little Italian Greyhound named Lily, rescued by NMDR’s founder, Theresa Strader. Determined that her years of suffering would not be in vain, NMDR now gives a voice to mill dogs across the country.
