Tater (MR26-138)'s Story

Tater is a 3-year-old terrier mix weighing 17 lbs, with a gentle and sensitive nature. He's still learning how to feel comfortable socializing around humans and can be a bit shy at first. Tater does best with a slow, calm approach, allowing him to build trust at his own pace. He loves to rest and sleep, enjoying quiet moments where he feels safe and relaxed.<br/><br/>Tater gets along well with other dogs, and they've been a big help in building his confidence and social skills. He would do best in a home with another confident dog to continue guiding and reassuring him.<br/><br/>With patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle encouragement, Tater will continue to grow more comfortable over time. He has been doing well with his leash-walking skills and continues to gain confidence while out on walks. He would also benefit from ongoing training and support to help him become more comfortable with grooming routines and new experiences.<br/><br/>Tater has medical needs, including a history of seizures, and will need an adopter who is committed to providing ongoing care, management, and veterinary follow-up to help keep him healthy and comfortable. His adopter should be prepared to monitor his condition and maintain any recommended treatment plan.<br/><br/>Tater will need to go home with a secure, properly fitted harness to help keep him safe as he continues building confidence and navigating the world around him.<br/><br/>Tater is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom and truly come out of his shell. A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure the best fit for both Tater and his future family.<br/>------<br/>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!

National Mill Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
At NMDR, we use a welcoming, conversation-based adoption process! We look at every applicant as a partner, offering honest education about our dogs' needs so you can make the best choice for your lifestyle. We generally do not deny adoptions based solely on yard size, housing type, adopter age, or having other pets. Because many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeding facilities, we maintain a few firm safety and mission-aligned policies: Spay/Neuter Requirement: To help end the cycle of irresponsible breeding, all resident dogs in your home must be spayed or neutered. Homes with Children: Many of our dogs had limited socialization before rescue. Older kids are often a great match! Homes with younger children are considered individually based on the dog’s needs and the adopter’s experience with home management. Companions Only: Our dogs are adopted strictly as indoor family companions. Out-of-State Adopters: You are welcome to apply, but you must travel directly to the specific shelter housing the dog (in CO or MO) to complete the adoption. We do not ship or transport dogs. A Supportive Safety Net: Life is unpredictable, and sometimes a match isn't perfect. We discuss long-term safety nets with all adopters, and if a placement doesn't work out, we welcome our dogs back with zero judgment. Fees: Adoption fees vary by age and directly offset the extensive veterinary care, dental work, and rehabilitation each dog receives before adoption. Ready to meet your new best friend?
