A nine-week-old puppy was apparently abandoned on Tuesday at Harry Reid International Airport<\/a>. Her name is Penny, and she now has a new home.<\/p>\n

Personnel found her near a departure gate. She reportedly was found inside an animal carrier.<\/p>\n

Penny was turned over to The Animal Foundation, a Las Vegas-based animal shelter. They cared for her. As of Friday, she had been placed with a new family.<\/p>\n

She was wearing a collar that said \u201cPenny,\u201d the shelter said. The collar had a heart on it.<\/p>\n

She is healthy and alert. She is sweet and playful, and she loved posing for photos,\u201d<\/strong> Kelsey Pizzi, a spokesperson for The Animal Foundation<\/a>, told Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She did not have an implanted microchip. No one has come forward to reclaim her. Without a microchip or a tag that identifies an owner\u2019s address, it becomes very difficult to identify who previously owned the dog.<\/p>\n

Her breed is unknown, too. Pizzi explained that visual breed identification is often unreliable and inaccurate, even by trained veterinary professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can confirm she\u2019s really cute,\u201d Pizzi said.<\/p>\n

It is unknown whether any surveillance video at the airport showed who carried her into the terminal.<\/p>\n

But the Las Vegas shelter was able to place her quickly. The Animal Foundation has many other animals available for adoption.<\/p>\n

Airport Holiday Chaos<\/h2>\n

Last week, luggage was left for days in airports nationwide because of numerous flight cancellations<\/a>. Some passengers did not even know where their luggage was located, NBC News<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

It is unknown if that airline chaos had anything to do with finding Penny alone in the airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flight delays and cancellations were blamed on the winter weather and other causes. More than 1 million US passengers were impacted, NBC <\/em>reported. Many passengers were stranded for several days.<\/p>\n

Southwest Airlines alone canceled more than 13,000 flights between December 22 and 29. The travel disruptions likely impacted visitors making their way to Las Vegas casinos during the holidays.<\/p>\n

Harry Reid Airport had cautioned passengers to expect large crowds in terminals during the holiday period, especially with the delays.<\/p>\n

Even without delayed or canceled flights, there are situations where family pets are flown to the wrong airport.<\/p>\n

Dog Sent to Wrong Country<\/h2>\n

For instance, Madison and James Miller relocated recently from England to Tennessee.<\/p>\n

But their dog, Bluebell, a five-year-old black Labrador mix, was accidentally flown to Saudi Arabia, NPR<\/em> reported last month.<\/p>\n

IAG Cargo, affiliated with British Airways, was responsible. The Millers paid about $2,100 for Bluebell\u2019s initial flight. To get her to Tennessee, she was placed on three different international flights. The company covered the costs.<\/p>\n

Bluebell is now in Tennessee with her family. But the owners say she was impacted by the three-day separation from her family. She has anxiety, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
