Story
Hero is proof that courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it looks like a shy little dog taking one small step forward at a time. When Hero first arrived at NMDR, the world felt like a very big and scary place. New people, new experiences, and everyday life were overwhelming for this sweet Maltipoo. But with patience, encouragement, and the support of caring staff and volunteers, Hero has been discovering that life can be full of good things. Today, Hero enjoys playing with other dogs, exploring his surroundings, and showing off his growing confidence. He's even known to get the zoomies and engage in playful wrestling matches with his canine friends. Watching him blossom has been one of the most rewarding transformations we've seen. Hero is still a work in progress and will need an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. He would do best in a home with a playful canine companion who enjoys active play, running, wrestling, and sharing adventures. Having another confident, social dog in the family helps Hero feel secure and encourages him to continue building confidence. A playful dog friend won't just be a companion for Hero—it will be an important part of helping him thrive. For the right family, Hero's journey is only just beginning. The dog who once watched life from the sidelines is ready to keep growing, learning, and discovering what it means to be loved. 📍 Available for adoption at our Dogsville location in Humansville, MO 🖱 Apply to adopt at www.nmdr.org (select Missouri) ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Meet Edie, a 7-year-old, 11-pound Maltese/Yorkie mix with a gentle, sweet nature and a soft, affectionate personality. Edie does have Cushing’s disease and will require lifelong medication and ongoing care to help keep her feeling her best. Edie is also currently heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment. She will need to return to NMDR for her scheduled care, and adopters must be committed to strictly following the treatment plan as outlined by NMDR veterinarians to ensure her full recovery. She will also need to return for a dental procedure. Despite everything she has been through, Edie remains a loving little dog with a big heart. She enjoys calm companionship and being close to her people. She is friendly and enjoys attention once she feels comfortable, often leaning into gentle affection and quietly soaking up love from those she trusts. Edie appreciates a calm environment where she can relax and feel secure. She does well with other dogs and can enjoy their company, making her a nice fit for a home with polite, gentle canine companions. Edie is looking for a patient, loving home that will support her through her recovery and continue helping her build confidence as she heals and settles into her new life. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.

Story
Button is the definition of tiny but mighty. At just around 1 lb, this little Maltese/Pekingese mix is impossibly small, ridiculously cute, and full of happy puppy energy. He’s playful, affectionate, friendly, and always excited to be part of whatever is happening around him. Button was rescued from an unsafe situation where his mom and 5 siblings were tragically run over by cars after being allowed to roam loose near the road. Sadly, only 3 puppies survived from the litter. Despite that heartbreaking start, Button is a joyful little puppy who absolutely loves people and life. He has a very slight underbite that somehow only makes him even cuter. Because of his tiny size and young age, Button will not be neutered prior to adoption. Adopters will be required to provide proof of neuter in 2027 once he is fully grown and medically ready. Good fit: someone looking for a tiny companion puppy who wants affection, attention, playtime, and a safe indoor life. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Age-appropriate vetting, vaccinated, microchipped Adoption fee: $550 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Maria is a wonderful 10 month old puppy who loves other dogs and people. She has a lot of puppy energy and would be great with another small playful dog. Maria is doing well on housetraining and will use a puppy pad if she is unable to get outside. She loves to be on your lap and would be great with kids who know how to treat small animals. Maria is scheduled to be spay on 6/11/26. She is current on all vaccinations including lepto and rabies and will be ready to go to her forever home once she has recovered from her surgery. She will need someone who is patient on learning how to walk on a leash.

Story
These three tiny puppies have already survived more tragedy in a few months than most dogs experience in a lifetime. They appear to be Pekingese/Maltese type mixes and are only around 4 months old, weighing approximately 1-2 lbs each right now. They originally lived with a woman who allowed the mom dog and puppies to roam freely in the streets. Before I was contacted, their mother and five siblings were tragically hit and killed by cars. By the time I found out about them, only these three babies were left. Despite the heartbreaking situation they came from, these puppies are incredibly friendly, sweet, happy, and trusting. They absolutely adore people and have the playful, affectionate personalities you would expect from puppies who still believe the world is a good place. They are tiny enough right now that they will not be altered prior to adoption. Adopters will be required to provide proof of spay/neuter once the puppies are fully grown, so approximately a year from now. These little ones are absolute darling babies and will do best with adopters who understand just how fragile very small puppies can be. Good fit: someone looking for a tiny companion puppy and prepared for the care, supervision, and commitment that comes with raising an extra small breed mix. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and on current preventatives. Due to size, these puppies are too small to be spayed/neutered yet. Adopters must provide proof of spay/neuter once fully grown. Adoption fee: $550 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?
