The puppy rescued from a sweltering car at the Bellagio<\/a> parking garage last month now has a forever home. She was named Dutchess, and she is getting the royal treatment.<\/p>\n

The four-month-old Siberian Husky was adopted, officials revealed this week. She is regularly taken out for walks by her new owners. She has plenty of toys to play with, too. Dutchess also plays with the other dog in the family, Tobey.<\/p>\n

A Clark County Animal Control<\/a> officer also assisted at the Bellagio. The Las Vegas-based shelter, The Animal Foundation<\/a>, helped to place the puppy with her new family. Their names were not released, but a photo shows two parents, two sons, and a very happy Dutchess.<\/p>\n

Case Under Investigation<\/h2>\n

That is a big change from the life-threatening situation the puppy found herself in on July 20. A passerby saw the dog confined in a Mercedes-Benz parked in the direct sunlight at the Bellagio. Her mouth was taped shut. The temperature in the car was close to 108 degrees.<\/p>\n

The car was turned off. The windows were up. There was no air conditioning on. The dog did not have access to food or water.<\/p>\n

The former owner left the dog for two hours while he went into the casino. The passerby quickly notified Bellagio security. They forced open the car and got the dog into an air-conditioned vehicle. They also gave her plenty of water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The owner eventually made his way back to the car. He was charged with a felony, willful or malicious torture of a dog, KSNV<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers also had stern words to tell him after placing him in a squad car. He was identified as Raul Carbajal, 50, of Corona Del Mar, Calif. His case is now pending in local court.<\/p>\n

Well Wishes for Puppy<\/h2>\n

Many social media posters expressed worry about the dog. Now, they are posting appreciation for the good news.<\/p>\n

So happy Duchess has found a new family who will take good care of her. Thank you for adopting her,” She May posted on The Animal Foundation Facebook site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, Jackie Wylie posted, “Yay! She\u2019s adorable!! I pray her new home is loving and spoils her rotten every single day!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephanie Feinstein added, \u201cI cannot believe that people STILL leave dogs in hot cars! I\u2019m so glad this gorgeous girl has found a loving home and a happy ending. So many others don\u2019t. Enjoy your new family Dutchess!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

“I’m sure they’ll give her the life she deserves. And one day she won’t remember the scary time with that sick man! Their love will heal any mental scars he left on her,” \u00a0Melanie Treece said.<\/p>\n

Reminder for Pet Owners<\/h2>\n

The incident reminds pet owners nationwide about the risks to animals from being in a vehicle when temperatures are high or even warm.<\/p>\n

On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels,\u201d Jessica Simpson, public policy specialist at the Humane Society of the United States<\/a>, told Casino.org<\/em> last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOn an 85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cAfter 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees, and the pet may suffer irreversible organ damage, seizures, or die.\u201d<\/p>\n

LVMPD officers have made numerous statements about animal heat risks and potential charges for the owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
