Uriee Update - 6 Months

It’s hard to believe it has been six months since Uriee was given away without permission to the people in the picture below.

My heart and Marla’s heart continue to break over the devastating situation that led us here. Uriee was placed in boarding at a kennel in CDA, and during that time, he was wrongfully given away. We struggle with what he must be going through and what an innocent victim he is in all of this.

We are still hoping that those involved will come forward and do the right thing by providing the information needed, but they have not been willing to do so at this time.

Our civil case is still ongoing, and things will be moving forward again soon.

If you recognize the people in the photo, please do the right thing and let me know their names or where they might live. Do you recognize them from church, the grocery store, a feed store? They supposedly have horses and live on a property. We believe her name starts with a J. Maybe you’ve seen them at a vet’s office, where they get their dog food, their doctor’s or dentist’s office, or where they have their Toyota Venza serviced. Any small piece of information could help.

I will be meeting with the prosecutor to discuss the case and present evidence we have gathered, in the hope that the pending criminal matters can progress.

We just want Uriee back. Please help us bring him home.

Uriee Update:

Merry Christmas to Everyone…It is still extremely sad we do not have Uriee and with the holidays coming for all of us, we are missing Uriee even more. We are grieving the Holidays without him, disgraced at the people involved who continue to create pain and suffering on all of us at such a delicate time of year. To the family who has him, we hope you would do the right thing and let him come home to his rightful owners.

We have additional information such as Uriee’s stolen owners’ females name potentially starts with a “J”, she was ALL OVER Facebook, they have property and have horses. So, we are asking anyone who is in the horse world to please spread this picture far and wide to your farriers, people you get hay from, eventers, horse barns, anyone and everyone in the horse world…please share so we can find who these people are that have our Uriee. She also shares dog rescue pages and pictures, so people must know her or this couple. PLEASE, do the right thing and share this page everywhere…especially her face as she is the one who has the Facebook presence.

The lawsuit is moving forward and there are some upcoming deadlines approaching. So, we will see what comes from those deadlines. The lawsuit continues to be expensive, continues to provide all of us grief, pain and suffering from the the people involved with Uriee’s theft.

The criminal case is still active and pending and we await to see when the City of Coeur d’Alene Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will be pressing charges for the Grand Theft of Uriee, Abuse and Neglect of Uriee and Others and Malicious Injury of Uriee along with getting justice for all the other animals that endured Abuse and Negligence per the Police reports.

To the family that has Uriee:
Please let him come home and do the right thing. He should have never been put in this situation and is a helpless victim and it is not fair to him or to any of us that you are keeping him from us. Please do the right thing, especially since the people who started this did not do the right thing.

(The photo of Uriee is from last Christmas when he was with us.)

This journey has been emotionally, physically, and financially draining, but we cannot give up. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Your support can help take the next steps toward justice for Uriee and peace for those of us who care deeply for him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and belief in this mission.

In July 2024, Uriee, a beloved service dog, was being boarded at a kennel during a family emergency. Tragically, during his stay, the facility where he was boarded was shut down by authorities due to neglect and other concerns. Amid the confusion, Uriee was taken and later sold without the knowledge or consent of his owners, Smith Pak Working Dogs LLC and Marla Haller. Despite extensive efforts to locate him, including working with authorities and personally funding investigations, Uriee remains missing.

To date, we have spent over $30,000 on investigative efforts. These efforts have uncovered key details, such as who sold Uriee, the location of the transaction, and other critical information. Unfortunately, some of the individuals involved have been uncooperative, and the process of bringing Uriee home has been painstakingly slow.

For us at Smith Pak Working Dogs LLC and for Marla Haller, Uriee is more than “property”- He’s family. The thought of him being in an unfamiliar place, possibly scared or confused, is heartbreaking. This situation feels like losing a loved one, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to bring him home.

This GoFundMe is raising funds to:

1. Cover legal expenses to pursue justice for Uriee’s unlawful sale and hold those involved accountable.

2. Cover legal expenses to defend against a countersuit accusing us of defamation, which is compounding the emotional and financial toll on us as we fight for Uriee.

3. Continue efforts to identify the couple who currently have Uriee and ensure his safe return.

The legal proceedings are active under Case No.: CV28-24-7120.

This journey has been emotionally, physically, and financially draining, but we cannot give up. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Your support can help take the next steps toward justice for Uriee and peace for those of us who care deeply for him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and belief in this mission.
