75 Poodles seized:
approximately 75 poodles plus, were found in squalid conditions June
12th and 13th in the home of a Duchesne County breeder who had become
ill and unable to care for them.
Unfortunately, the dogs went without food or water for about five days
until family came forward after the owner died at the hospital.
The Roosevelt Animal Shelter Manager Kim Farley and Darlene Koerner
(Pet Samaritan) are working with other agencies to transfer dogs to
places as soon as possible……they are limited in space and are in dire
need of funds and help for the rest left in the home and at the
shelter. Several of these poodles are still at the home. Live traps
have been set to bring the remaining ones into the already overcrowded
City Shelter.
The Roosevelt/Duchesne County Shelter is in dire need of supplies and
donations to continue their progress with the remaining dogs….until
the majority can be re-located or adopted.

Caring for Homeless Pets...
It is the highest priority of the Pet Samaritan Fund to adopt out healthy and behaviorally sound animals to our caring community. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals that need our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for adoptable animals until we can place them in a loving home. Because we are a nonprofit, donations subsidize the gap between the cost for care and the adoption fee. It is only through the generosity of donors that we have the resources to help so many animals and hold them until we can find a home. Dog adoption fees range from $100 to $150 plus. Cat adoption fees: $75 to $100 plus. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand. You'll find that our adoption package is a great value. If you are 60 years or older, ask about our Senior Adoption Discount program. Adoption Package Includes:
