- January 14, 2024: LIBERTY, KY - Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), a national animal protection nonprofit, responded to a request from law enforcement in Casey County, KY, to assist with the rescue of forty-four large dogs in immediate need of rescue after they were found living in deplorable conditions. The rescue operation, aptly named "Operation Frozen Sorrows," unfolded on January 14, approximately two hours Southeast of Louisville at a house doubling as a home and as a self-described “rescue.”
The animals and their poor conditions were discovered after the tenant was unexpectedly hospitalized. Casey County has a small animal shelter but in no way could take in forty-four badly neglected animals. ARC was founded to humanely assist animals and communities in situations like this.
When rescuers arrived they found forty-four dogs inside and outside the home. Some were confined to crates while others were running loose. Freezing temperatures and high ammonia levels inhibited rescuers' efforts and additional safety equipment was needed to keep rescuers safe. Three deceased dogs were discovered on the property, two of whom were frozen solid. Belgian Malinois, Great Danes, St. Bernards, German Shepherds, pit bulls, border collies, and cattledogs were just a few of the breeds rescued. Many of the dogs exhibit signs of obvious and chronic neglect including eye injuries, fur loss, internal and external parasites, anemia, gastrointestinal issues, bite wounds, and matting. Some of the dogs are emaciated and the majority of the dogs are underweight.
The tenant, Annette Lipa. was operating a purported "rescue" out of the home, called "Everything's Going to be Alright Rescue & Rehabilitation," an ironic name given how little was "alright" for the animals.
“The alleged rescue operated by the tenant stands as a stark reminder that good intentions must be backed by responsible actions. The suffering of these dogs underscores the ethical responsibility that comes with operating an animal rescue; neglect has no place in the realm of animal rescue and sheltering. This is a very sad situation and a tremendous amount of suffering has ended.,” said ARC Executive Director, Tim Woodward. I’m glad we could assist.”
ARC transported all of the dogs to ARC’s Rescue Center in Gallatin, Tenn., about 30 minutes east of Nashville. Each dog rescued in Operation Frozen Sorrows is receiving a thorough veterinary exam, appropriate vaccinations, and any necessary medical treatments before they will be matched and transported to trusted shelter and rescue partner organizations that will ultimately adopt them into loving homes.

Ma come possibile…che ci siano situazioni così terribili…gli uomini sono la rovina della terra…Grazie per tutto quello che fate…💙
This is a very sick evil person!! Thank you for saving these babies. I can't even imagine they had no life. I know the ones passed have went over the rainbow bridge. I bet most of these dogs probably wanted to cross over to the rainbow bridge. I hope they find loving homes and enjoy the remaining of their life with love
2 little dogs take a lot of time and energy to care for, plus it's expensive to give them proper food, vet care and especially, parasite prevention. I can't imagine trying to do it with 44 animals!
Thank you 😔
I RESCUED A DOG FROM KENTUCKY AND IT TOOK 3 MONTHS FOR HIM TO COME OUT OF HIS CRATE. HE WAS REALLY MENTALLY ABUSED. HE DREW TO MY YELLOW LAB FOR COMFORT. KENTUCKY ABUSE THERE ANIMALS BADLY THERE. POVERTY STRICKENED. HIS NAME WAS JACKSON AND I HAD FOR 10 YEARS. HE WENT TO HEAVEN 9/3/2023 AND I MISS HIS SO BAD😢😢😢😢RIP MY SWEET BOY JACKSON ❤❤😢
Bullshit. Not all Kentuckians abuse their animals. You have creeps in all states who do this and it’s wrong. Stop blaming all Kentuckians for a small percentage of nuts.
OMG what a horror show!💕💕🐕🦺🐕🦺
Not only living in their own waste, but its so cold in there you can see their breath when they bark. That women needs to be in prison!
So Tragic, when will these types of situations end, How do they get to be like this and go unnoticed in first place? How does one person rescue dogs to end there? there is some missing links that need to be investigated. These people who rescue dogs to bring to their homes need to be checked where the animals are going to , so this stops happening. The lucky ones survived.
20 YRS PLEASE
😭😭😭😭
