As many of you know, one of our puppies from Smith Pak Working Dogs was stolen and sold while they were boarded at a training facility. Civil and Criminal investigations are continuing. Investigations to find him are ongoing.

Uriee would have normally been here boarding but they wanted him close to his home because they were struggling with medical issues and in and out of the hospital. They could easily stop in and see him between hospitalizations.

With that being said, it has created a lot of worry and concern for owners having their animals staying in boarding facilities. You want and expect the best from anywhere you board your animals.

We are here to help...we are dealing with the trauma that a boarding and training facility has caused us and I NEVER want any of my clients to feel like this...

We are very transparent, we love your animals like they are our own, we take true and genuine care of each and every animal on this property.

We want you to know your dog will always have water, be fed and wont be in the elements and most importantly loved and treated amazingly. Unlike the kennel that Uriee was at...

Again, I NEVER want my clients to feel like I do right now about their dog staying with us.

We are taking reservations for the holidays and I know after some of the scary things you see and hear about not only the kennel Uriee was at, many kennels here locally, we are one of the rare ones that truly does all that we do for the dogs and our clients. It is a love and passion for me and all of my staff!

Happy Holidays to all of you and again if you need a place for your dog to stay over the holidays...we will make sure they are taken care of like they are ours.

Please write to the Kootenai County Prosecutor to help us get justice for Uriee and all of the other animals that have suffered at Faithful K9. The time has come to press charges against all owners and employees of Faithful K9.

https://www.kcgov.us/Directory.aspx?DID=48

That is the direct page to the prosecutors. Call, email, submit a contact form…We need them to press charges and force the employees to talk.

Case # 24C30507 for Uriee and Case # 24C29454 for Bellatrix

If you had had similar experiences with Faithful K9, with the employees of Faithful K9 or Faithful Fields - I urge you to come forward, file a police report, call the CDA Police Department and get ahold of the Prosecutor.

One particular employee is the one who deleted all of Uriees information from Facebook and will not give it to authorities. She also wont give up any additional information she may have…let’s encourage justice for these dogs and to press charges.

Update: This picture was taken 7/29/24 at 12:24pm. This is when they met and Uriee was handed off to them. If you know this couple, recognize the area, or see them…please call the CDA Police Department. The employees of Faithful K9 are not cooperating with authorities and are refusing to give the name of the people they gave Uriee to.

If you recognize this couple, please contact me immediately or CDA Police Department at 208-769-2200.

We believe they live in Washington.

To all of my friends and family in the Seattle area - please let me know if you know them.

There is reason to believe he has my stolen dog.

A boarding and training facility in Coeur d Alene was recently shut down due to animal neglect and cruelty.

Unfortunately, one of my dogs was in that facility being cared for…while the owner was dealing with a family death.

They stole the dog, neutered him and put him up for adoption. They are not being cooperative with Animal Control or the Detectives.

We want Uriee back! Dixie Tantzen is affiliated with the facility that was closed by animal control and she is the one who removed/stole Uriee, neutered him and adopted him. She is a DOG THIEF!

I am looking for any information leading to his recovery.

You can call the CDA Police Department at 208-769-2200 with information or contact me directly.

Please help me get Uriee home!

Does anybody have any information on the situation that happened at Faithful K9 in Coeur d’Alene?

This is Aspen the service dog we have been training for a young lady. After just recently passing his CGC and Public Service Test he has now refining his required task work. Training a service dog is not something that is done overnight, it takes a lot of hard work and commitment from not only the trainer but the owner as well. We are very proud of the dedication from Aspen as well as his owner and his trainers here at PCA! We are looking forward to this amazing team becoming a Certified Service Dog team!
