LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Finding a new forever family.
The puppy found with its mouth taped shut at the Bellagio parking garage has been adopted.
On Wednesday, the Animal Foundation said Dutchess now lives with a wonderful family who adore her and that she travels a lot these days including Nevada, California, and Arizona.
Dutchess was rescued by Las Vegas Metropolitan police officers who received a report from someone who saw the animal in the vehicle.
Investigators said they climbed through the car's open sunroof to rescue the Siberian husky.
