Summary
"America has a nasty secret. Almost all of the cute puppies sold in pet stores come from "puppy mils". Madonna of the mills is the uplifting story of Laura [Flynn Amato], a Staten Island woman, who creates a modern "underground railroad" and rescues 2,000 dogs condemned to death in Amish Country [and Mennonite farmer] puppy mills. The film follows four of the dogs--Vivian Leigh, Danny, Liberty and Maisy--from the time their lives are spared until they are rehabilitated. We watch as they adjust to freedom and transform the lives of the people who adopt them"--Container
