Beagle Left In Trash Bag Gets New Forever Family

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) Gladys the beagle was discovered a few weeks ago by someone who saw writhing inside a heavy trash bag and decided to investigate. The pooch was in pain, the bag full of urine.

But it's a brand-new day for Gladys the two-year-old beagle because now she's ready to join a new family. Dozens of people came forward to adopt Gladys after her story was told, but Stephanie Elliott of Livonia was chosen to take her home to join Poochie, Elliott's 5-year-old beagle.

They'll meet for the first time Thursday.

"Gladys is now in excellent health and has been a staff favorite at the MHS Detroit Center for Animal Care," the Michigan Humane Society said in a press release. "She was a regular visitor to the MHS Cruelty Investigation Department offices, and has been getting lots of TLC from the staff, who will be saddened to see her go, but happy that she's going to a good home."

A reward is still being offered for the identity of whomever dumped Gladys in a bag in an industrial area on the city's east side. There is a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Anyone with any information is asked to call the MHS Cruelty Hotline at 313-872-3401.
