After hearing back from the North Las Vegas Police Department, I learned that the case is being investigated.



~ Original story:


Crazy4Pawz Animal Rescue in Henderson opened its doors to a new furvictim.


On September 20, 2023, a puppy was found abandoned in the parking lot of a Walmart in North Las Vegas near Losee and Ann Road, reports FOX5.


Shamar Shapiro, one of the store workers, was about to leave work for the night when he saw a crowd of people outside, so he went to check what was going on.

Shamar saw a black plastic box with a closed yellow lid. From one of the holes of the lid, a nose was poking out. Shamar looked inside the box and found a puppy. He knew what to do because he has been rescuing animals all his life. Shamar called his mom and together they took the furbaby to the vet.


Next, they reached out to Crazy4Pawz Animal Rescue. The nonprofit named the 3-month-old puppy Sammy.

Lynda Delahunt, founder of Crazy4Pawz Animal Rescue, explained in a Facebook post that Sammy “has 20 days left on his stray hold.” Meanwhile, he was microchipped, he’s up to date with his vaccinations, and found a foster home. Lynda added that Sammy will be neutered “once he is old enough and his 🥜 have fully dropped 😜.”


The family who will adopt Sammy needs to be patient and willing to provide Sammy with training, explained Lynda. She said: “Sammy is super smart, kind, loving and right now is a wild child 🤣. He is going to be a large dog, so training is essential!


I reached out to LVMPD to see whether the incident is being investigated. If I get a response, I will post an update.
