After months of avoiding service, Paula Nourse has finally been located. On August 26, 2025, she was personally served with legal documents at a residence in Kuna, Idaho.
According to public information, Nourse may have attempted to hide her whereabouts by using her daughter’s name, Ashley Nourse, who is listed as working for the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. This raises new questions about how long Paula has been concealing her location to avoid accountability.
For months, Paula Nourse allegedly tried to avoid law enforcement, code enforcement, and individuals attempting to serve her legal papers. She has been known to use addresses tied to multiple properties owned by her husband’s family in an effort to mislead others about her true location. This pattern made it extremely difficult for process servers and officials to reach her until now.
Dangerous Dogs in Paula Nourse’s Care
Concerns about Paula Nourse are not new. She was previously caught with numerous dangerous dogs in her care. Many of those dogs had to be seized by authorities. Sadly, several were ultimately euthanized because of their behavior and the risks they posed to the public.
Despite this, Paula Nourse has continued to portray these animals as well-trained and safe, creating a misleading picture of her rescue activities. Animal welfare advocates have repeatedly warned the community about this ongoing pattern.
The fact that Paula Nourse was served legal documents in Kuna, Idaho, is an important step in bringing transparency to her activities. For years, animal advocates and community members have raised concerns about her alleged misuse of rescue operations, dangerous animal placements, and misleading claims.
The serving of these legal documents highlights the importance of accountability in animal rescue. Communities deserve honesty, safety, and proper care standards for the animals entrusted to rescuers.
