A woman who ran an animal rescue out of her home in Dandridge where 68 dogs were found malnourished and neglected is charged with multiple counts of aggravated animal cruelty.
The nonprofit, “A Life 2 go 2 Rescue”, has been on the sheriff’s radar for a while.
Deputies went to the home on Argonnia Lane in Dandridge Monday after animal control went there on Friday.
Deputies say CARE, or Companion Animal Rescue and Education, also went to the home and took possession of 68 dogs.
58-year-old Paula Whitt is charged with 55 counts of aggravated animal cruelty.
Most of the dogs are expected to recover while a few will not be so fortunate.
