Saturday morning I drove 3 hours one way to pick up a 2.5 year old female from a puppy mill. This little girl was so scared. This was the story I got. She's 2.5 years old. Has a litter every time she goes into heat beginning her very first one 
This past litter required a csection and only 2 of the 6 pups survived. After the csection she had no interest in nursing them. So their answer was to drown her, one of the men said she wasn't worth the bullet. 
I found out because a farm hand (not amish, which was odd be I thought only Amish could work on an amish farm) anyways-the farm hand called his aunt which is this older lady that goes to my church. She knows I've rescued every one of my zoo members I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, 4 hermit crabs and God knows how many outside kitty's I feed. Anyways-the man who lives at this farm kept saying he didn't have any mothers that he didn't want anymore til I offered 300 for her. He then gave her to me, and we've never looked back. She's never had a name, never seen the outside of her crate in the barn, never known a gentle hand. We named her Ella Grace and while this will be interesting, she will be a wonderful pet some day. She wants to trust but is really cautious. I have to carry her up and down my deck stairs as she's petrified. At first any noise really made her react, it's getting better. I gave her a peanut butter stuffed kong the other night, she wouldn't do anything with it until I put some peanut butter on her nose and then she was like ohhhh what's this what's this? I thought I stepped in poo this morning and I lifted my shoe not thinking, and she automatic went down on her belly and closed her eyes. Poor poopsy. She prefers women to men, she's my little shadow. She likes when my husband talks to her and pets her but doesn't seek out his attention like she does mine and she absolutely loves my kids. One day at a time with her 
so any advice or support on how to get her to be a happy little girl the way she should be will be greatly appreciated

You are a wonderful caring person to have rescued her from that horrible place! It sounds like you already know what to do! She has to learn to trust-and that will come when she realizes that no one there is going to hurt her. I would give her a little time to adjust-and then she probably needs a vet check, as she has probably never had any shots! Just time, patience, and love and she will learn trust. Thank you for giving her the life she deserves. I hope her former "owner" burns in hell.
