I have been a failed foster parent of 4 elderly dogs through Connor and Millies Dog Rescue. The work they do is incredible. The love and attention they give to each and every one of their dogs shows true charity of the character of each and every one of the volunteers in this organization. I have seen the director of CMDR, Linda, work on little to no sleep but never willing to turn down a text or phone call about one of the "babies". I have seen other volunteers that will sit and hold an emotionally maladjusted animal that is depressed or disoriented for hours, helping them through its troubled time to get him or her ready for a forever home.
My experience with Connor and Millies Dog Rescue has been exceptional. From the outset, they have demonstrated a commitment to assisting me and my family throughout the fostering process, even though this is not our first experience. We appreciate their shared passion for animals, which enables us to collaborate effectively and provide the utmost care to each canine companion. If you have a love for dogs, you will undoubtedly appreciate Connor and Millies Dog Rescue. Their organization is well-run, and the volunteers and foster families are truly remarkable.
Have fostered and adopted from CMDR and they care so much about the pups they help. My precious Amazon sadly passed already but we were happy to give her a home and love while she was with us.
I’ve adopted two dogs from this rescue, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Both dogs were thoroughly vetted and received all necessary medical care before adoption. I also had the opportunity to do a trial period with each dog, ensuring they were a great fit for our family. I highly recommend this rescue to anyone looking to add a new member to their family – their commitment to the animals and the adoption process is truly exceptional.
You don’t come across many rescues that pull out dogs from the shelter in the worse condition. However, CMDR does just that. They care so much, and are so passionate about what they do. They give out second chances one little senior at a time. So grateful for them and all rescues that help these precious fur babies.
CMDR has been the light for so many senior pups that have been deemed to old, to much medical. I have been fortunate to have given several of these sweet babies a soft place to land. Queen Bea, Reo Valentino and Biggie Smalls due to age, medical and behavioral issues might have faced a short dark future if not for Linda at CMDR and her fighting spirit for all the underdogs.
Linda reached out during the devastation of hurricane Helene here in NC and held fundraisers to help out our local rescues who lost everything. In a time of a major crisis, it was a comfort knowing that her and her team at CMDR were proactively helping from afar.
This is one of the best rescues I've been in contact with. I love that they help any age dogs. If you are looking to volunteer or looking to adopt this is the rescue.
I can't say enough about Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue! The President is incredibly dedicated to each and every dog, going above and beyond to ensure they receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s medical attention or simply a loving environment, they make sure all dogs—especially those with medical needs or senior dogs who are often overlooked—are treated like royalty. Dental care is a big focus here, and I love that every dog gets a dental cleaning as part of their care.
The entire team of fosters works closely together, creating a supportive community where the dogs are happy, healthy, and loved. It's clear that this rescue is about more than just saving lives; it’s about giving each dog the best chance at a happy, fulfilling future.
If you're looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity, look no further. And if you're thinking about adopting, I can wholeheartedly recommend Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue. The dogs are fully vetted, well cared for, and ready for their forever homes. This rescue is truly a gem in the world of dog rescue.

If you're considering adopting a dog or supporting a rescue organization, look no further than Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue. This rescue is a haven of love, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the welfare of dogs. Their commitment to each and every dog's well-being is nothing short of inspiring. They spare no expense when it comes to the health and well-being of their dogs. Every dog receives thorough medical assessments, and any necessary treatments. This ensures that the dogs are ready to find their forever homes in the best possible condition. CMDR is more than just a rescue organization; it's a beacon of hope for dogs in need. Their unwavering dedication, compassion, and commitment to every dog's well-being are truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend CMDR to anyone looking to adopt a dog or support a rescue organization that makes a profound difference in the lives of our furry friends. It's a place where tails wag with happiness, and hearts are filled with gratitude.
I have been working with this rescue group for about 8 months now. The first dog I had I ended up adopting. I now have a little senior Chihuahua and each time that I have fostered for them they have gone above and beyond for the dog. CMDR has always made sure all of the dental and blood work is done before doing the next step of spay or neuter. They've taken their time and made sure the dogs have had their medications and have been in tip top shape before adopting out. I highly recommend this rescue group to consider when adopting a dog.
My pomeranian died in July 2018, I was heartbroken. It took awhile to greive and when I was ready to get another baby I Googled "Poms for adoption". CMDR's site was the first one I clicked on. I adopted my boy in Jan. 2020. He is perfect; friendly, obedient, playful, loving. If CMDR hadn't saved him from the AF, I wouldn't be blessed with this little boy. He's a Pom/Am.Eski maybe, and he has made me laugh again.
I absolutely love this group of people! They saved Sierra when she was left alone in an apartment by her supposed family after they were evicted. Sierra would have died there if not for this animal rescue saving her and getting her the medical attention she needed. I cannot recommend these guys enough!
I adopted a little old man from this rescue named Monkey. He was going to be killed at the local pound but this rescue saved him and he became part of my family. There are many groups in Las Vegas that call themselves rescues but only a few are legitimate and this place is the cream of the crop! They take the little guys that the public has discarded.
A Las Vegas animal rescue that actually cares about dogs. Attached you will see a picture of little Freddy, an adorable senior chihuahua who was in a sad situation: his human mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness and she sought urgently to find someone to take in Freddy because her family wouldn't. The only animal rescue in Las Vegas to step forward was Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue.
Freddy was my hospice foster and sadly he crossed the rainbow bridge in November of 2022 and is now reunited with his mom. I know that his twilight years with me under the care of CMDR were good ones where he never was left wanting anything.
I have dealt with many animal rescues but CMDR is easily the best in Las Vegas.
Connor and Millies is a top rescue group. They typically save the lives of dogs that have health issues or are disabled and most likely would of been euthanized. They get them the medical treatment necessary and then try to find homes for them.
The best dog rescue in Las Vegas! Absolutely wonderful & caring president & vice president, not to mention fantastic fosters!
I have fostered and volunteered with Conner And Millie’s dog rescue for several years now. Linda Gilliam goes above and beyond to get her dogs the care they need before they are adopted this includes dentals. Please consider fostering, donating or just following our Facebook page

I have fostered and adopted from this organization for several years. They specialize in seniors and medical needs. They have saved hundreds from the animal foundation euthanasia list. They go above and beyond with the health care these dogs receive before they are adopted out. If you took the time to read the reviews, please take the time to donate. Every penny goes to medical bills for these pups.
I have been following and donating to Connor and Millie for more than three years. They are filled with compassion, love and dedication to saving the lives of countless fur babies. Many of them were close to losing their lives. Words cannot fully express the love I have for them. If I was closer I would happily foster for them. Please help them to continue to save and love more babies.

I have been a foster, adopter and a volunteer professional behaviorist and trainer for Connor and Millie's rescue. I have been involved with many rescues over the years and Connor and Millie's is one of the best overall. They spare no expense when it comes to helping animals in need, especially those harder to adopt animals like seniors and those with behavioral or physical special needs Their work
reminds us that all creatures, big, small, young, old and even those that may appear imperfect are truly worthy of love and the best life possible. The welfare and best interest of the animal is always their number one priority.
I have adopted several dogs from Connor and Millie’s Dog Rescue over the past 11 or so years. Many were given their last hope through this group. Elderly, sick and dumped dogs previous owners did not love if a vet bill came up and none had been spayed or neutered, dental issues were awful and tumors , eyes hanging out— nothing stops this organization from going the extra mile to save them. I began as a foster and quickly became owner to Tiny, Henry, Sweet Peas and Gus Gus. Tiny is still going strong even though he’s solid grey now. I hand feed him his homemade meals because that’s what he deserves. I want everyone to know the fantastic work CMDR does. They are angels in disguise! These photos are all of what they look like after they get good care and good food and of course lots of love!
These 4, in the pictures below, are the some of the reasons I give CMDR a 5 star rating....Unwanted by their owners, 2 of these seniors were rescued and did not have to spend their last days in a shelter....The other 2 are loved and have all the comforts they deserve, until it's their time to cross the Rainbow Bridge....CMDR has done this for these and others that are in need
I adopted one of my dogs from Connie and Millie’s Dog Rescue a few years ago and had a great experience with them. I decided a few months ago to start fostering with them as well and have received great support through the process! They care deeply about animals and do everything they can for them!
I have fostered for many other rescues in Las Vegas and finally settled on Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue CMDR.
They aren't biggest, or the most active. They don't bring in the most money, their name is a little difficult to say. But,,, they always step up for the most damaged souls that are going to take time and be expensive to rescue.
They do this because of the attitude of everyone that works for this awesome Rescue from the top to the bottom. The love and sacrifice made by the CMDR group surpasses all others.
I love this rescue because it is truly ALL ABOUT THE DOGS. Very little overhead costs because everyone is a volunteer and dogs are fostered in private homes. These small breed, senior dogs have a chance of living out the rest of their lives loved and cared for when their chances before seemed slim. They get the veterinary care needed and are able to recover in a home.
I have personally seen dogs come out of their frightened, physically in pain, untrusting of humans prior self blossom into the happy, loyal, best companions they were meant to be.
Good job CMDR! It is all about the dogs!!
We adopted several dogs from Connor and Millies Dog Rescue and the adoption process is smooth, honest, and they are great people to deal with. They take good care of the dogs and work with adopters after the adoption to make sure everything is working well for both the adopted dog and the adopters. They focus on small senior dogs with medical needs and go the extra mile to help the dogs to live the best for the rest of their lives. Every dog we adopted was a wonderful pet
I am a new foster with CMDR. I reached out to them when I saw a senior dog that needed a foster. I had fostered dogs several years ago and decided to foster again. The process was very easy. I filled out paperwork, had a home check, and then picked up a sweet senior dog. That dog has since been adopted. Now I have 2 more fosters. CMDR takes in mostly senior dogs, gets them the medical they need and then places the dogs up for adoption. Most senior dogs are overlooked and CMDR gives them the opportunity to find a forever home. I am happy to be a part of this rescue. I encourage people to consider adopting a senior through CMDR.
I’ve been a foster for Connor and Millie’s Dog Rescue for almost a year now, and it’s been such a valuable experience. Linda and Christine really go out of their way to ensure the dogs get proper medical care. In fact, they make training available.
My favorite part about this rescue, and what drew me to them, is that they pay special attention to senior animals, and animals with special needs. It’s so heartwarming to see these dogs getting adopted into loving homes.
I highly recommend adopting from Connor and Millie’s Dog Rescue. They really are wonderful.
Connor and Mille's Dog Resuce takes in dogs with special needs, medical issues and seniors. They take care of all medical needs and then find them loving homes. They give dogs, who otherwise are overlooked and thrown aside, a new chance at life. They are doing tremedous work for the forgotten!
We had a great experience adopting our lovebug Crabcake from CMDR. It started initially as a very quick foster, they screen thoroughly - I’ve fostered for 3 other local rescues and they are the only ones that did a home check which we were all for. They do great work treating senior dogs that neither TAF nor frankly other local rescues will do. Thanks CMDR for your great care of sweet, senior doggies!!
This is the most caring rescue and focuses on seniors , high medical and they also have dogs in hospice saved from the shelter . This organization is run with perfection in mind not only for these animals but also the fosters they choose to be the bridge to save them , the vets they choose to save their lives and the wonderful homes they find for these babies .
We have adopted three little dogs from Connor and Millies over the years. We love the little guys! The organization took care to get their health on track (they were seniors) and made sure that we and the dogs would be a good match. I particularly like that they focus on small, senior dogs with medical needs. These dogs are so easily abandoned by their owners and the dogs certainly don't deserve that. We're happy to seek these dogs out and glad we found this organization that specializes in them.
I have been looking for over a year now for a worthy organization that works to save and care for these helpless and mistreated dogs. God has guided me to Connor and Millies Dog Rescue CMDR. I truly believe I found the right place to donate my money for a great cause. This year I will also volunteer my time to help this organization with their work.
I am a foster of many dogs pulled by this rescue all vetted with new beautiful beginnings. We have found families for 15yr old healthy dogs. We have found families for FOS dogs with appropriate placing. The rescue has always dentaled and fixed all pets before placing and addressing all issues. Here is a few of those beautiful faces.
An organization that truly puts the animals first!!!
It’s not easy to run an non-profit, especially in Las Vegas, where shelters are overflowing with pets whom have been displaced, overbred, abused, or fallen victim to our transient communities.
CMDR has taken on the seemingly impossible task of saving these last chance pets with compassion and a conviction to make sure they don’t spend their last days scared and alone.
Their team of volunteers and board appointed members are selfless angels!!!
I was introduced to CMDR through one of my best friends who is a foster for some of the hospice rescues. I filled out a foster application and have not looked back. I have been rewarded by having some of the most amazing furbabies! CMDR takes in some of the most abused and neglected little loves that the shelter will otherwise put down. As fosters we help nurse and nurture them to a life of love they have never known. Then as hard as it is to let then go, we find the most amazing furever families to live out their days whether they are long or short knowing they are loved and cared for. Without CMDR I personally know if dozens of furbabies that would have been put down had this wonderful and amazing rescue team not stepped up and saved them.
Excellent rescue. They take in hard cases that need medical help and these dogs get a whole new lease in life. My baby almost died twice and CMDR gave her another chance.
This rescue does so much for discarded senior dogs, giving them the second chance they deserve. Thanks to this rescue the dogs get to live out their remaining years happy, comfortable and being loved like they should. I am so grateful to be apart of this rescue.
I have known this Rescue from its inception. You will never find a more compassionate, caring, and loving group. The leader has gone without many times to enable her to rescue a dog. Because of Linda so many dogs now have a wonderful life ahead. Linda’s motto: I will save you! ❤️

CMDR is the perfect rescue for the senior dogs that are overlooked, many suffer from failing health issues from lack of care, but CMDR always opens their hearts and homes to make sure these sweet seniors get the proper veterinary treatment they need, and their lives are filled with love and care. The founder, fosters and volunteers are dedicated to make sure that no senior dog is left behind, every senior, sick or injured doggie takes in receives the very best care and treatment that only CMDR can provide.
My wife and I currently have five dogs, four of which came from Connor-Millie. I wouldn’t give any of them up for the world. They’re all my buds. Meet JR, Shaggy, Sammy and Wiley. All of them came from Connor-Millie, a great organization.

We have two little dogs that were rescued by Connor and Millies Dog Rescue. Both are approximately 8 years old but you would never know it. They are active characters and fit right in with our other dog. It’s a shame that so many older dogs are passed over due to age or medical issue. We have moved beyond the medical issues now with continued treatment. Please donate to their cause so others can be saved and go to their forever home.
I have adopted two of my babies from Connor and Millie’s and after following them and actually fostering for them aI can tell you they go above and beyond for all the babies they take in! This rescue is so
Important to our community as they do take the harder cases and the older ones which is sometimes more challenging to find homes for and I can assure you when they do that the dog will be loved forever just like my two, Henry and Fiona

I adopted my sweet boy Oliver from this recuse. He was blind and in california. The shelter in california was going to kill him just because he is blind. CMDR saved him. I can’t imagine my life without him.

CMDR has played a huge role in saving so many dogs. They do not stop at the rescue. The care they extend for a dog they save lasts the dogs life time. They are great people doing great things.
This rescue CMDR is one of the most fantastic senior dog rescues you could ever find, they pull dogs from shelter who would otherwise be put down due to age or condition, NOT CMDR they take these poor babies have them groomed, take care of all their medical situations.
They foster out these babies into private homes and the Foster Mums help them to adjust into loving and happy dogs that they were meant to be.
I adopted my little Gucci who was in atrocious condition his foster mum Tammy took such wonderful care of him he is now a very happy little dog who has learned to love all over agin, I am so thankful to this rescue and to Tammy his foster mum for the care and love they gave him.
CMDR believes that senior dogs and dogs in need of medical attention are worthy and deserving of a chance at a happy and healthy life. They take so many of the unwanted and discarded, and the transformation the dogs make is so rewarding to see. I’m grateful and so proud to be a volunteer with this organization.

This rescue really cares about dogs. They take in dogs with health problems that no one wants and turns them into healthy loving dogs.
We LOVE Connor and Millie’s dog rescue! They are one of the only rescues that goes out of their way to look out for the often over looked senior and special needs dogs! They go through so much to make sure these dogs that most people don’t care about have great lives and get the care they need! The dogs that come out of CMDR are happy and full of life! CMDR truly cares about and stands up for all dogs. If you adopt from CMDR you know your new companion is coming from a loving foster home and has a big community of people that care about them! CMDR changes the way people see senior dogs!
I got my little violet from this rescue. They took her in after someone abused her. She is very much loved and I think them for allowing me to be her new mother.
Great experience adopting from CMDR. We got Gia (aka Minny Winnie) and she was very scared at the shelter, but CMDR saved her, then found a foster angel for her who helped her to decompress. We got her and she's a sweet little baby! We love her so much and she fits in great with our other dog and cat. Thank you CMDR!
One of the best rescues in town! I have found an old start dog that was taken to a shelter and contacted them since he was about to be euthanized, they ended up pulling him gave him a much needed dental fixed him and vaccinated and chipped him and I ended up fostering him. Eventually we ended up adopting him, the adoption proces was really easy, they made sure prior to fostering that my home is safe for him etc, then they charged a very low adoption fee that didn’t come close to cover all the vetting they spent on him. Linda and the rest of the volunteers are nothing more then amazing, they rescue many sick and old dogs
I have been fostering for this organization for the past 7 months and the work they are doing is amazing! I have successfully fostered and adopted out 4 dogs and about to take another foster. They ensure all the dogs get the medical attention they need including dentals, spays, surgery and even grooming! We specialize in small, senior dogs, with or without medical needs/medications, but we have also taken in younger dogs. We currently have a pregnant dog ready to give birth any day now! I’m proud to work with this foster and it’s exciting to help these dogs find their furrever homes
Sadly this rescue isn't about finding homes but just getting donations so fosters can have a pet for free.
I've also witnessed them walking dogs on the hot asphalt after an event and just standing around talking as the dogs feet are burning.
Professional, Compassionate, and devoted to senior and special needs dogs. Senior dogs are so often overlooked, but in my experience, they make the best family addition. I recently adopted from CMDR and believe in their mission 100%. CMDR is a top rated rescue, and they care about each and every dog they take in and work hard to help as many as possible. This is obviously a mission of love for this rescue.
I started following CDMR approximately around August of 2018. I stumbled onto them through facebook by first beginning to watch the story of Maccie Jack and Precious. I am so amazed at the job that they are doing. They take on seniors, special needs, dogs sent from in the Korean meat market, very ill and some younger fur babies in need. I have watched these very abused, starved, neglected fur babies come into their care and then you see a spark in their eyes, happiness. Unfortunately some don't make even though they fight because their body gives up. Even for the sadness of the those who die, for at least a short time they did receive the love and care, the rescue keeps on taking in furbabies and saving lives. I am extremely amazed at the work they do. Contacting other rescues in some states and was told they are too far and the dogs are in the same state maybe north of a facility, I am amazed at the tenacity that CDMR has in saving these babies. If I lived in Vegas, CDMR is definitely the rescue I would want my Bichon Studlee to go if I passed before him. They are truly amazing.

I continue to be amazed every day at the work we accomplish in this rescue. Just when it seems that we can do no more, we get an outpouring of support from our followers, and then we do more. In a little over 2 years, we have saved almost 650 dogs. And this is all done being staffed 100% by volunteers and entirely relying on donations for funding.

I don’t even know where to begin to tell people how much this organization does for the community, animals in distress, and people in need. Let me start with the dog I adopted from Connor and Millie’s.
Thelma was found wandering the streets with a pink fleece jacket on, in the rain and the cold. She was soaked to the skin, had almost no fur, and was obviously seriously ill. Picked up by Animal Control and taken to the kill shelter, she lay untreated and unwanted for days. Her owners never stepped forward to claim her.
Nobody wanted to help this little dog who was struggling for her life. Nobody except Linda, the founder of Connor and Millie’s. Linda cared what happened to this dog. Linda cared when nobody else did. Without funding and not knowing what the vet bills might be, Linda requested this dog.
Thelma came home with me to recover and get treatment. She was diagnosed with advanced Cushing’s disease. Her future was uncertain, her outcome precarious. But Linda was determined that the disease could be controlled and was positive that Thelma would survive and recover.
Not only did Thelma survive, she thrived. She has been a member of my family for a little over a year now and is healthy, sassy, and quite the little princess.
Because her condition went untreated by her previous owner for an extended length of time, her kidneys are impaired and she may not live a normal lifespan. But she will live out whatever time she has left as healthy as possible and being very loved because somebody cared. Linda cared.
Connor and Millie’s has saved over 500 dogs, a few cats, and at least one rabbit in 2 short years. Every one of them has a heartbreaking story. Every one of them was unwanted and ignored by everyone else. Everyone except Connor and Millie’s.
Connor and Millie’s has accepted dogs with horrific injuries, dogs that the owners don’t find desirable anymore, dogs whose owners have died or who are mentally or physically unable to continue to care for them. They accept dogs on a temporary basis when the owners are sick, hospitalized, on military deployment, or are the victims of domestic violence. Every one of these dogs are placed in private foster care and are lived as members of the family.
Despite escalating bills, Connor and Millie’s provides these dogs with whatever medical care they need.
I just can’t express enough how much Connor and Millie’s means to me, and how valuable an asset they are to this community. If anyone deserves recognition, it is this great nonprofit.
I volunteer as a foster mom 4 Connor and Milles Dog Rescue. I love the heart of all rescue organizations. But a very special place tugs at my heart for the most unlikely to be rescued and face dying alone, heartbroken by the loss of their family, forced into a cold environment and they are so afraid. This is when you see CMDR step forward. My first rescue w CMDR was for a hospice tiny dog, she was old and in very bad terminal condition. She was mercifully euthanized after only a week with me. But she was not alone, she was loved, she was medicated for pain, then her frail little body was giving up. I held her and loved her as she peacefully passed. Then there many other fur angels i had the honor to foster, others in need that were saved, treated and adopted to happy caring families. This organization and the loving, dedicated foster families that give their all hold a special place in my heart.
Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue is what every animal rescue should strive for: compassion for the animals as sentient beings. CMDR looks past appearance, age, breed, and medical issues; they are there to help and they tirelessly work to save as many of the overlooked as they can. They deserve to be center stage and for bards to sing their songs for all they do.
Attached are photos of Dobby. He is a chihuahua that was slated to be put to sleep at the pound. He came in as a stray with a broken tail, missing toe nails, broken teeth, a hernia, a heart murmur so bad on a scale of 1-6 it is rated at 5, and the doc indicated his fur thinned and fell out due to the extreme stress he had suffered.
His condition was so bad coupled with the unfortunate circumstance that there are always too many chihuahuas at the Las Vegas pound and as a result he quickly found himself on the "kill list" :(
Thank heavens Linda Gilliam stepped in and would not let this soul be extinguished. She directed CMDR to save him at all costs and that is what happened. CMDR fixed everything they could and he is now part of our family. We still get sad thinking of what he had endured but we are always thankful that CMDR saved his little life and as a result our lives and our family is enriched by his presence.
Thank you Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue!
[The first two pictures are when Dobby was picked up from the pound. You can see he was sad and confused, he even had a tear rolling down his face. I can only imagine the thoughts going through his head as he though he would die. The two later pictures are him in his new home and you can see his spirit has returned]
Connor and Millies Dog Rescue CMDR is nothing short of extraordinary. From our initial inquiry to almost a year adopted, our entire experience with CMDR was phenomenal. The trial-to-adopt was so important for us. Not only did we get to spend an entire week with our pup, they supplied us with a full bag of food, bed, toys, and daily check-ins from the foster. This really allowed us to get to know our dog's real personality. We can't say enough good things about the work CMDR does and we recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful adoption experience that comes with a lifetime of support.
Connor and Millie's is the rescue who steps in for what many unfortunately consider the lost causes. The Seniors and the Medical-needs dogs who are overlooked by others and who lead amazing, beautiful and deserving lives once CMDR steps-in.
Having fostered for CMDR myself and witnessed so many others who selflessly foster for CMDR, the transformations can only be described as miracles.
This rescue and it's fosters are real LIFE SAVERS!!!
CMDR is a rescue that sees the beauty of the senior dog. The special needs, those others overlook. They love them all . With dedication and sacrifice, CMDR gives them them time to heal and truly transform. It doesn't get much better than that.

I have known the Founder for many years, and was thrilled when she started Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue CMDR. They are an amazing rescue who takes the dogs that no one else will help, senior dogs, hospice dogs and dogs with heartbreaking medical conditions. CMDR's dogs never have to worry, all of their needs will be taken care of. The dedication of the fosters and volunteers is so commendable, all the dogs receive so much love, their days are filled with good food, toys, their own beds, it is remarkable to see the change in these dogs as they learn to give as much love as they receive. CMDR is an outstanding dog rescue with the highest integrity, they live their mission everyday that no dog will be left behind.
I followed Connor and Millies Rescue for a while on Facebook then decided to jump in and foster myself as the need for fosters is great. This group has great organization with a passionate founder and president who is trying to find homes for dogs that have been discarded, often neglected, and even abused. The volunteer staff of fosters all have the "dog lover gene". The Rescue pays for medical needs and then rely on fosters to love and nurture these dogs back to physical and emotional health. Every weekend they are at the local pet stores having adoption fairs to find "furever" homes for these overlooked pups. They are a great organization and certainly worthy of your donation and support.
I just donated to these wonderful people. Seriously what is there not to love about them?...They taken away pain and give love and safety.....Absolute legend's!
This rescue is amazing. They save primarily senior dogs who've been abandoned by their owners and gives them a second chance at a happy life. Love CMDR!!
I have fostered for a variety of rescue groups, in various states, and Connor and Millie's (CMDR) is one of the best. This organization is very well run and is truly dedicated to doing what's right for the dogs in their care. CMDR goes above and beyond to insure that the dogs are well cared for and the volunteers have the necessary support to provide the dogs with whatever they need. CMDR takes in the dogs that most other rescues in Las Vegas are unwilling to take due to age or medical issues. And when behavioral issues arise that the foster is unable to manage, CMDR gets the dog the professional training it needs so it can find it's forever home. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful rescue.
I absuatly love Connor and Mollies Dog rescue (CMDR) I wanted to rescue 2 different dogs from a bad situation but I needed a rescue to back them so I got a hold of this rescue without hesitation they accepted both dogs into their rescue, had both of them checked out by a Veterinarian and found the most perfect homes for them with my approval of their new homes which I love. They are 100% percent in it for the dogs and they have their whole heart into rescuing and saving lives ❤.
I love fostering for CMDR. They take care of all health issues with urgency and compassion and do everything to find the pups the right forever home. Their team is very supportive and always on call to help with any issues, should they arise. Huge-hearted group!
As a volunteer I have seen the great things this rescue has done. They pull the dogs that have absolutely no hope and they transform them into healthy lovable dogs. This rescue is one of the great ones that does things for the right reasons and the right way. The dogs are always first and their well being is always priority. I am so proud to be a volunteer.
CMDR pulls the dogs that no-one else will- mostly seniors and medical cases. They give these dogs a second chance and get them into loving homes to spend the rest of their lives. Beginning to foster for this rescue has been so rewarding!
Can't believe it's been a year since I started fostering for the rescue, CMDR! Since then I have foster failed and adopted 4 of my precious furbabies from them. I continue to love what they stand for and all the help and support they do for the seniors and medical need dogs! The world needs more resources like this!

I adopted my little girl from them and thank them everyday that she didn't stay long enough at the Animal Foundation to meet her demise!! As soon as they saw her they started networking around the group to find a foster and got her out ASAP! I like what they stand for so much that I volunteered to foster for them now and I love it!
CMDR is an incredible team that always pulls the dogs no other rescue will. I have adopted several sweet pups from them and love volunteering with them!
I began volunteering with this organization in 2017. In January of 2018 I took in an amazing dog who needed so very much Medical. Sid had been so neglected that he had very little bottom jaw, no teeth, a severely arched back, a hernia, a very large mass on his spleen, and was seriously underweight at seven and a half pounds. I knew this little boy would be taken care of because I knew that cmdr would not fail him. They didn't fail him, and neither did we. He is now completely fixed up and part of our family. He now weighs double the weight he came in at, and is taken care of very well. No one else wanted to pull this beautiful boy because he needed so much, but cmdr believed in him. Because they believed in him he now has a beautiful full life ahead of him! I'm proud to Foster for this group and proud to be Sid's mom.
We weren't really looking to add to our family, but I saw a post on Facebook from Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue. There was a sweet-face furbaby who caught my eye. I read that she would be at an adoption event the next day so myfamily attended the event. When we got there and met this little fluffball, we realized she was a bit to shy for our household. No worries, we walked around and met some of the other furbabies. One immediately caught my attention. She had the sweetest face... and a cast. My daughter went over to her and pet this sweet baby. She got a lick right up the side of her face! We spent a little time with her and I knew this sweet baby was a perfect fit for our family. I spoke to her forster mom and filled out an adoption application. She told us that she was surrendered to a local shelter with a badly broken leg. The shelter said the leg would most likely have to be amputated. CMDR saved this precious baby and took her to an amazing doctor who was able to save her leg! I wasn't sure if they would allow us to adopt her while she was still being treated for the broken leg. But I knew she was meant to be part of our family. We got the call for a trial period, to make sure she was a good fit. I knew the moment she walked in our door that she was meant for us. She lit up and her personality came out. With a promise to continue her medical care, Lily became a permanent member of our family! Today she is happy, healthy and totally spoiled! Thanks to Connor and Millie (CMDR) our sweet baby received proper medical attention and was given a second chance at a happy life. CMDR saves lives of those cast aside. They have amazing Volunteers who give their time and love to rehab these sweet souls so that they can live the rest of their lives getting the love they deserve!
Amazing organization doing the work that no one else will do! Saving the un-savable dogs in our community! They are working tirelessly to ensure a no kill community and to allow every dog to be loved & secure through the end of life. Very well run organization and never have I seen a more effective, committed & synergistic group of primarily women, getting the job done. I applaud their work and leadership in our rescue community.
CMDR truly cares for the dogs that have been forgotten. The ones that need medical treatment and the ones that just need a little bit more time and patience.
cMDR is an amazing dog Rescue who truly rescues dogs based on need rather than how adoptive the dog may be resulting in an adoption fee. Many dogs lives a saved knowing that they will never bring an adoption fee to the rescue and will most likely live their remaining days with a loving foster home They are the true meaning of rescue!
To rescue dogs from shelter is one thing. But to rescue dogs which no other rescues would take? That’s real big love and that’s what CMDR does. We are proud to save all these helpless seniors and sicks from being euthanized at no fault of their own. Please help get this amazing nonprofit known and recognized.
We began fostering last November. Sparky was our first and we still have him running around the house, getting under foot and barking at the slightest sound outdoors. Than along came Derrick, the devil incarnate. He was so abused before we got him that we could not even pet him. He bit my wife and I the very first day. Through patience and letting him do his thing, Derrick has come a long way to being ready for adoption. We will probably have to work with him a bit longer until he is able to accept that all adults mean him harm.
I love being a foster parent for Connor and Millies Dog Rescue.
I love how this organization looks out for injured and senior dogs. Everyone is so caring and really goes out of their way to give these dogs the best chance at a happy future. It is so satisfying to see these dogs heal, both physically and emotionally, and to see them off to their forever homes. The volunteers also work very well together and make a wonderful team.
I heard about Connor and Millies Dog Rescue through a friend who said she has been fostering dogs through them and recommends I check out a dog she used to foster. I looked into it and decided to foster to potentially adopt a dog named Tilly, she wasnt the dog we were looking for but I'm so happy I got to meet and foster her. Not only did she have so much love to give, but she opened the door to me to help more dogs just like her. CMDR helps so many dogs get out of the shelter and into a home, most dogs they rescue are scared or are dogs needing medical, and I think that it takes very special person to welcome a dog, or many dogs, into their home and network for them to find a forever family. And that's what this organization is all about. Just a big group of caring and compassionate people coming together to network and help dogs in need, and I'm so happy I'm apart of it.
This is a group of very dedicated volunteers that give their heart, soul, and time to those society has forgotten. The dogs are fully vetted while in foster homes taking as long as needed. CMDR then sees to it they are given every chance to have a forever home to call their own. CMDR takes in the senior, special needs, and hospice. All of them are loved.
Working in rescue is never easy. Having a rescue like CMDR makes it easier. They care about their animals as well as the city they live in.
Everyone is so open and easy to approach. Their volunteers are all wonderful people and they do full vet care for their babies, not just the basics. Thank you CMDR
I fostered for CMDR for about a year total. Perviously, I had worked as a foster for two other rescues in Las Vegas and hands down, CMDR was the best. They were organized, efficient, and quick to respond. They treated fosters like a team and respected our time and limits. They screened adoptive families thoroughly and had a smooth and clear process for adopters, and they trust the fosters to make decisions regarding adoptions. Dogs were taken into CMDR that no other rescues wanted to deal with and were loved and cared for to the fullest extent, even when the dogs had serious medical or emotional needs. I cannot say enough about CMDR's dedication to the animals they accept. If I hadn't moved from the Vegas area, I would still be volunteering for them.
Wonderful rescue that saves senior and special needs dogs their humans have given up on.
Rusty is typical example : 9 year old one eyed Pekingnese whose owner passed away, he had serious medical issues that required surgery. He now has a new Life in a new home !
Of all the rescues I've worked with Connor and Millies is the most caring, compassionate and giving I have experienced. Animal healthcare is most important. All their animals have a mandatory stay with our veterinarians with a complete workup and procedures as needed. Below are some of my fosters.
I foster for Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue. They're a wonderful group of people. I feel fortunate to be a member of the group. Seniors and sick/broken dogs have a hard time finding rescues. CMDR rescues these babies, helps them heal, gives them love and finds them their forever families.
