Members of RAIN, Rockcastle Animals In Need, began removing dogs from a home on Hill Street in Mt. Vernon Tuesday morning after complaints of neglect.
An anonymous tip Monday night lead investigators to the home, where animal rescue officials say four dogs were found living in unbearable conditions.
The Rockcastle County Attorney got a warrant for Linda Alcorn's arrest Tuesday morning. Authorities served the warrant and found dozens more dogs living in the woman's home.
They began removing the dogs around noon Tuesday. The County
Attorney says more charges will be filed against Alcorn.
Members of URKY, United Rescues of Kentucky, will foster the 38 dogs rescued. Volunteers are hoping to raise $8,000 to $10,000 in donations for vet bills and rehabilitation efforts. Those can be made by going to www.URKY.org or calling (859) 625-4859.

To Anonymous, Not one time in that video did it say they were pure bred dogs. I don't care if they were mutts anyone in their right mind wont live in the house with six inches of feces under the feet. You talking about pure breds had nothing to do with what i was saying. Geezzzzzzzzz you cant write nothing in these posts without the smart mouths coming out to have their say. Get over it......The pup I seen looked pretty healthy looking.Better than some Ive seen that is in a good home.
To Gail in Pikeville, all of the dogs were pure breds. do you really beleive that people were dropping purebred dogs off at her home?
Here is a video of some of the dogs taken from this property. Be warned some of it is disturbing and hard to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nFHDOM54Gw
