152 dogs rescued from ‘extremely poor’ conditions in Utah
Authorities in Utah have successfully rescued a total of 152 dogs from a house in Ogden, where they were found living in “extremely poor” conditions. Police and animal services officers responded to a report of possible animal neglect at a residence on Jefferson Avenue, where they discovered the dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions.
The situation was deemed severe enough to require assistance from multiple agencies, including Weber County Animal Services, Roy Animal Services, and Draper Animal Services. All 152 dogs were safely removed from the property and are now receiving veterinary care, evaluations, and shelter support. Weber County Animal Services is currently collaborating with Ogden City Animal Control to provide safe accommodations for the animals involved in the hoarding investigation.
The rescued dogs are currently being housed at the Weber County Animal Shelter in separate kennels to prevent the spread of any potential diseases. Animal services are also working with rescue groups and other shelters to provide medical care and explore options for possible relocation of the animals.
An ongoing investigation is underway, and the community will be notified when the dogs are available for adoption or fostering. The Ogden Police Department and Ogden Animal Services express their gratitude to all agencies and partners involved in ensuring the safety and well-being of these animals.
The rescue of these 152 dogs serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting suspected animal neglect or abuse. By working together, authorities and animal welfare organizations can provide a second chance for animals in need and ensure they receive the care and support they deserve.
