Volunteer in Dogsville

As our outreach grows, so does our need for volunteers! While Dogsville is meant to be a stop along the way for the dogs we rescue, we often have 10-15 plus dogs onsite needing our constant care. Dogsville is recruiting volunteers interested in helping with kennel cleaning, grooming, socializing, dog walking, housekeeping, and more! 

Do you love reading books?

Our Rescue Readers program is back! Socializing with rescued dogs is not only fulfilling, it helps our dogs to become accustomed to human interaction. This activity is appropriate for ages elementary through high school. Please note, you will need to bring a guardian with you to the shelter for this activity.  See our Facebook Events page for more details and dates.

Virtual Paws Sponsorship Program

Perfect for birthday presents, holiday gifts, or to simply show someone you share their love of dogs – Your sponsorship helps NMDR to continue to provide the high-quality care for each pup we rescue for however long it takes for each dog to get adopted into a loving home.

Shop for a Cause!

National Mill Dog Rescue’s Paw Partners are businesses who give NMDR a donation through their shop or service sales. Be sure to support these businesses who support NMDR! Learn more about each Paw Partner and know each sale is doing a little more good.

Dogs bring love and happiness into our lives, and we are excited to be able to offer special discounts to those over age 60 and those who are members of the armed forces.

Why become a monthly donor?

Our mission depends profoundly on the kindness and dedication of supporters like you. Becoming an Angel Donor sets up an automatic monthly withdrawal that helps us continue our mission and care for our dogs. You can make a difference in the lives of some very deserving dogs without having to give it a second thought!
