Kelly, a female hound found abandoned and in dire health at the Bonneville Salt Flats some 40 miles west of Salt Lake City in January, has gotten the ultimate positive development in her recovery. The Utah Animal Adoption Center recently announced on Facebook that the dog has been adopted.
The Associated Press previously reported that when Sandy resident Matt Bentley discovered the dog while off-roading in the West Desert, the animal had lost all her hair to a skin disease caused by mites and likely would have died within days if she hadn’t been found.
Bentley coaxed the dog into his Jeep, then took her to a veterinarian, who subsequently turned her over to the Utah Animal Adoption Center.
