Pops, you always kept your eye in the ball. Thanks to you, your Mom and I are very good friends. We miss you.

A message from National Mill Dog Rescue founder, Theresa StraderAs I reflect back on 2016, there are certain dogs that stand out for one reason or another-- seniors whose bodies are ravaged from years of overproduction and confinement, the most timid dogs that are terrified of our touch, dogs that are sick or dogs that were in such horrible condition they were unrecognizable as dogs. These are the dogs that touch and break our hearts the most.

To our Hanna, who enjoyed many years of playing frisbee, walking in the woods, and eating peanut butter treats. Your humans will miss your goofy smile and secret cuddles the most.
Reba
Abandoned at nine years old, Reba found herself alone at a shelter in Arizona. Grey Muzzle grantee Arizona Beagle Rescue stepped up and took this sweet girl into their care. When Reba first arrived at the rescue, she was one of the most petrified pups her foster mom had ever met. She also had significant pain in her hip. X-rays and an exam by an orthopedic specialist showed she needed surgery. Thanks to a Grey Muzzle grant, little Reba got the care she needed to repair her hip and relieve her pain.

Tony
We were two lost souls. For fourteen years we were found. I think of you every day. See you at the Bridge......

Wisdom says that choosing the right dog is all about finding the best animal for one’s environment and temperament. But there’s even more to it than that.
