Information on the individual dogs being rescued will be available after August 2nd.

BISSELL Pet Foundation is partnering with National Mill Dog Rescue to rescue more than 170 dogs. The operation was initiated following multiple surrenders of puppies and adult dogs from commercial breeders. BISSELL Pet Foundation’s support includes funding for medical support, boots-on-the-ground aid from foundation staff and animal welfare industry experts, transport and placement. The foundation is able to react quickly during a crisis, mobilizing its Animal Incident Management team. The dogs will be examined by veterinarians, vaccinated and provided with health certificates so they can be placed within the foundation’s national shelter and rescue partner network through ground transport.
