Every single year, too many dogs suffer from heat stroke due to being left in hot cars by their oblivious owners. Unfortunately, this can often lead to severe distress and even death for these innocent animals. We must take action now so as not to hear any more heartbreaking stories about pets subjected to such cruelty.
Last summer, a heartbreaking episode occurred. A husky dog was found in the sweltering heat of Las Vegas with her mouth tightly taped shut – abandoned alone in a car outside of an area casino.
Mercifully, the pup endured and is now vigorously enjoying its life after such a distressing experience.
On July 20, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was alerted to an emergency involving a 3-month-old husky puppy who had been abandoned in an SUV parked at Bellagio Casino.
The husky’s mouth had been sealed with electrical tape, and the temperatures were intensely high at 113 degrees. Even in mild weather, it is dangerous to leave a dog confined inside a car — however under such extreme heat conditions, this poor pup was facing death.
According to police, the poor pup had been left in the car for two hours with no air conditioning, food, or water while its owner was inside gambling.
Thanks to the prompt actions of the LVMPD, officers successfully pulled a distressed dog from an open sunroof. The bodycam video shared by them revealed that this pup was panting heavily and could hardly breathe.
Raul Carbajal, fifty years of age and the owner in question, was apprehended for deliberately inflicting torture on an animal.
The story of the poor husky was heartbreaking, yet after the rescue, she was awarded a new life. Promptly following her rescue by Las Vegas-based organization The Animal Foundation, Duchess found a loving home and is now living happily with her family!
Recently, the shelter gave uplifting news that Duchess is living her most fulfilling life since being saved.
Animal Foundation described the new home of this pup, proclaiming that “She’s embraced by a spectacular family who simply adores her! We hear stories about how she loves to sneak into their children’s beds and play with her other furry siblings.”
Duchess’ prior family treated her with disregard and cruelty but has since been embraced by a loving new home. She’s had the opportunity to explore beautiful locations all over Nevada, California, and Arizona – something she never would have dreamed of before!
Following her rescue from a sweltering vehicle, Duchess now cherishes the cold! She never passes up an opportunity to revel in the snow. As stated by The Animal Foundation, “It’s truly amazing what this pup has achieved!”
We’re overjoyed by the incredible turn of events for the Duchess, who was saved from a disastrous environment and found her way to an ideal new home.
We are so grateful that you chose to show this adorable dog the love she deserves! Please help spread her story far and wide.
