Synopsis
Surrounded by his overflowing "home run" animal shelter, "Mighty Mutts," Jon Contino is rescuing dogs and cats (and birds) from the streets of Brooklyn while his relationships with his neighbors, his live-in volunteer, and his girlfriend are falling apart around him. An intimate look into one man's love affair with animals - or, what happens when you share your home with 200 cats, 40 dogs, 5 pigeons and two other humans.
