Owner wanted after Mohave County dog is euthanized after testing positive for meth

MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. – The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office is looking for the second owner of a dog who needed to be euthanized after testing positive for meth.

Timeline:

On Sept. 3, animal control officers responded to a Fort Mohave veterinarian’s office and were told about a 2-year-old Pitbull-Terrier mix who tested positive for meth and needed to be euthanized.

“Due to the internal injuries received from the drug toxicity, the dog had to be euthanized. Staff advised AC Officers that the dog had been brought in for treatment by a male and female owner, identified as Marcia Peterson (40) and Trevor Berry (35),” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.

On Sept. 4, deputies went to the home of the owners and said the inside of the home was “in a squalid condition with animal feces covering the floor of a room.”

They said that indicated the dog was locked inside for quite some time.

“Deputies also located drug paraphernalia in plain sight,” the sheriff’s office said.
