OGDEN, Utah — More than 150 dogs have been removed from a single Ogden residence after authorities discovered they were living in severely overcrowded and unhealthy conditions, according to the Ogden Police Department.
On Tuesday, officers responded to a home near 3000 Jefferson Avenue following a tip about potential animal neglect. Upon entering the residence, officers found 152 dogs in what they described as “extremely poor and overcrowded” conditions.
The dogs were immediately rescued and transported to Weber County Animal Services, where they are now receiving medical evaluations, treatment, and care. Officials say the dogs will not be available for adoption until they complete the necessary medical protocols, which are expected to last until at least Monday, April 21.
Lt. Will Farr of the Ogden Police Department urged those interested in adopting to keep an eye on Weber County Animal Services’ updates for information on when the dogs will be cleared for adoption and how to proceed.
In the meantime, the shelter has asked the public to refrain from calling with questions about the dogs, as the volume of calls could overwhelm the staff. Instead, they’re encouraging people to support the animals by donating items through their Amazon wishlist or making monetary donations via Zeffy.
The situation remains under investigation, and no further details have been released regarding the individuals involved or potential charges.
Community members wishing to assist can find donation links and future adoption updates on the Weber County Animal Services website and social media channels.
