Needles and dog lips and ear mites... oh my!

National Mill Dog Rescue saved a lot of dogs from puppy mills that were shut down this last July.  All those beautiful furry souls gotta go somewhere, and we're proud to say that our kennel and foster homes are full.

Henry
We'd like to feature a few of the faces that sure could use some help with a small donation today.

All of the dogs from the recent Iowa rescue suffer from horrible ear infections and ear mites.  Henry's having a rough go of it right now.  He's been started on antibiotics and Revolution (to kill the mites), but he's still quite lethargic.  Henry will eventually rally and is getting a stronger every day, but we keep our thoughts with him daily and hope for a speedy recovery.

Harley's a 5 year-old Sheltie who's had an unthinkable life so far.  He's timid... and rightfully so.  Something very awful occurred in the mill where he was bred and kept.  A portion of Harley's lip is missing.  Let's not think about Harley's past plight any longer and focus on his future.  Harley could use a loving home.  Dogs forgive, and Harley will be no exception.  He needs a patient family to help him come out of his shell.

Pippi Longstocking, a beautiful Dachshund girl, is having a rough patch.  We're working hard to see her through it.
Pippi Longstocking
Pippi was rescued by NMDR several months ago.  She was heartworm positive and currently (still) suffers from ruptured discs in her spine.  She is in terrible pain and her foster family is doing all they can to comfort her.  Aside from medication, Pippi receives weekly acupuncture treatments.  The vet says that she is slowly showing positive improvement.


We try hard not to ask for donations and bug the heck out of people.  NMDR only asks when funds are needed.  Why are we asking?  A majority of NMDR's expenses goes to vet care.  When we're full of rescued dogs, our vet bills go up.  If you haven't donated to NMDR recently and would like to help Pippi, Harley, Henry or any of the dogs in NMDR's care, please donate today.  It all adds up quickly and a small donation will make a huge difference.  It always does.

All the dogs of National Mill Dog Rescue thank you in advance for your help today.  We couldn't do what we do - without you.

Thank you.

  1. If anyone is interested, NMDR has a monthly donation plan that is very easy to set up. Perhaps $10 per month is just what you can afford. Please think about setting up a plan and then you don't have to think about it again. You know you are always giving within your means and the funds help NMDR so much. But when they do come with requests like the one above, you can be sure that the need is very real.

  2. Hi there
    I take my dog to my chiropractor and its a lot cheaper than the acupuncture treatment (I think) In any event please keep up the good work. Looking forward to adopting real soon.
    Thanks for all you do to help these little ones out.
