Reward Offered For Information On Reba The Bulldog Death After Being Left In Container In Las Vegas Heat

A reward is being offered for information on a bulldog, named Reba, who has died after suffering in the triple-digit heat in Las Vegas.

It's a horrible story, and it will make you say "how the hell could someone do this?" And hopefully the residents of Las Vegas can help find who Reba the Bulldog in a plastic tub, and left her for dead.

Reba was in critical condition after being found outside in a small, taped shut, plastic container. Las Vegas animal advocates desperately want your help finding those responsible.

Vegas Pet Rescue Project posted on their Facebook page, that initially “several local animal rescue angels stepped up to offer a $13,500 reward” after hearing about Reba. In just a few days, that reward has grown - and continues to grow. It is up to $25,000 and counting.

Animal advocates want to find out who would do this to an innocent dog. They are hoping that the reward will bring some information on who did this to Reba.

Reba was found on Thursday, July 25, near Flamingo and and Maryland Parkway, after people passing by heard her whimpering. They rescued her, tried to cool her down by hosing her with cool water, and took her to Veterinary Emergency Group in Henderson, to care for her.

The vet who treated Reba said she was suffering from heat stroke, severe dehydration and was in critical condition.

Reba fought a good fight, but her conditions was very grave. She ended up dying Saturday from cardiac arrest from a blood-clotting condition because of the severe heat stroke and shock.

It is a horrible case of animal cruelty, and was reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Las Vegas Pet Rescue is working with police to find the monster(s) responsible for what happened to Reba. The reward will be given for information that leads to the arrest of this person or persons.

Vegas Pet Rescue is URGING you to call if you saw anything at all. Megan Tomlinson, Volunteer Rescue Coordinator for Vegas Pet Rescue Project, said on said, “Even the smallest detail might help us find who did this.”

If you would like to donate to the reward, you can do that right here: Vegas Pet Rescue Project.

Las Vegas, let's find the person who did this!

Nevada campgrounds are probably one of the best ways to see the beautiful silver state of Nevada. And there are some gorgeous spots that can get you up close to nature, like a hotel room cannot.

For those of us who live in Nevada, we already know the state is so much more than just Las Vegas and Reno. But visitors may not know that.

Throughout the state of Nevada, there is a beauty that is unexpected, until you experience it. The low, dry, hot desert of Las Vegas, and the milder high desert, and four seasons of Reno are spectacular.

Las Vegas' Lake Mead, is a beautiful sight in the hot dry desert. Especially in the summer. It's the one refuge that Las Vegas has to cool off. And in Northern Nevada, you have even more lakes to choose from: The natural wonder of beautiful Lake Tahoe, historic Donner Lake, and mysterious Pyramid Lake.

There are countless amazing places to see, and visit, in Nevada. You can go hiking, or visit state park. But if you really want to see Nevada's natural beauty, and get close to it, how about one of the beautiful campgrounds.

According to Only In your State, the Nevada State Park System runs 27 state parks. Each park offers amazing ways to enjoy the beauty of Nevada. You may not be familiar with all of them - or any of them, for that matter. But being a native of Nevada (yes, there are some of us), I can tell you they are all even more beautiful than you could imagine, because I've been there.

Camping might be the best option you never even considered! Here are some of the best campgrounds in Nevada for your next nature exploration adventure.

Valley of Fire is the largest state park in Nevada. It is about 50 minutes outside of Las Vegas, in Moapa. The natural rock formations are absolutely mesmerizing. And the petrified trees, and ancient petroglyphs are quite a sight. The park charges a day-use fee of $10 per vehicle with Nevada license plates, $15 for non-Nevada license plates. Cost is $20/night for Nevada residents; $25/night for non-residents. There's an additional $10 charge for utility hookups. Water, restrooms and each site has a shaded picnic table and a grill available.

In Northern Nevada, about a half hour from Reno. Boating, horseback riding, and beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Year round camping with grills, fire pits, picnic tables and a shower in the bathhouse. Very close to Virginia City, and Nevada's Capital of Carson City, as well. There is an entry fee of $5 per vehicle with Nevada, $10 for non-Nevada license plates.  Cost: $15/night for NV residents, $20/night for non-residents. $10 fee for utility hookups.

One of my favorite areas, because it is at Lake Tahoe (Zephyr Cove). I spent a lot of time here growing up. There is nothing more beautiful than Lake Tahoe, to begin with. And camping in the beautiful forested area right at the lake is amazing! At almost a 7000 foot elevation, it's some of the freshest air imaginable. Tent and RV camping are available, and some even have views of the lake. However, the lake is literally a minute long walk away. The cost is about $40 to $45/night.

Beaver Dam State Park is in Caliente, Nevada. It is about 2 hours from Las Vegas. It is very peaceful, and at the Nevada Utah border. Streams, waterfalls, and lots of forest. Drinking water is only available from April through November, but you can camp at Beaver Dam year round. There is a day use fee of $5 per vehicle with NV plates and $10 for non-NV license plates. Cost is $15/night NV residents; $20/night for non-residents.

Pyramid Lake is about 40 miles outside of Reno. It is a very beautiful, and mysterious lakes in Nevada. You'll see some of the strangest, and oddly beautiful rock formations, and reel in some very different fish. The Cui-ui trout - which is only found at Pyramid Lake. Lahontan cutthroat trout, and other varieties of trout. There are several campgrounds, and also Crosby's Lodge - a budget friendly hotel. If you're doing old fashioned tent camping, it's $30/night. RV sites are $40.
