Based in between Spalding and Boston in rural Lincolnshire Mill Rescue was opened in 2005 by Maggie Coveney, initially based in Maggie's home - the old Mill, primarily to re-home and rehabilitate Bearded Collies and Bearded Collie crosses. In September of 2005 we bought a smallholding with a view to developing a large purpose built rescue centre with all the facilities on site. Towards the end of 2005 we opened our doors to all breeds in need of help. The majority of our dogs come from Irish pounds and rescues with whom we have a close working relationship. We have now moved everything to the farm and hope that the new rescue centre will be under way shortly.
Mill Rescue is run by volunteers who give up their time to look after and spend time with the dogs. We also have fosterers who kindly take some of the dogs into their homes as some dogs get too stressed to stay in kennels, or to enable us to rescue more dogs when we haven’t got sufficient space in the kennels to take in more.
Every year thousands of healthy dogs end up in dog pounds through no fault of their own, these dogs if not quickly reunited with their owners may be destroyed within a matter of days for no other reason than the pounds have no room for them. This is where rescues come in; every day dog rescues all over the country rescue dogs from pound death rows and care for these dogs until loving new homes can be found for them. By adopting a rescue dog you are giving it a second chance, a chance to enjoy a happy life in a loving environment - something it may never have known. Also, every dog adopted from us gives us room in our kennels or with our fosterers to rescue more dogs and save more lives.
Adopting a dog can be both a challenging and a rewarding experience. Many of these dogs have not known a loving home for some time, some never have. Winning the trust and affection of these dogs can take time and patience but having that dog return your love, seeing it grow and flourish in its loving new home is incredibly rewarding.
Once you have found a dog you feel you would like to adopt (our dogs available for re-homing can be found here) petcraftproject.proboards24.com/index.cgi?board=homing&action=display&thread=1179353005 you will need to follow the adoption procedure below.

* Mill Rescue will then arrange for a home check where a Mill Rescue volunteer will visit you in your own home to ensure it is suitable for the dog you wish to adopt.
* After the home check is complete you and your family (and any other dogs you may have) will meet with your chosen at Mill Rescue.
