LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A goat found sprinting around downtown Las Vegas last weekend has found a new home.
Buzi the goat was adopted after a chase involving police and animal control, caretakers at the Animal Foundation said Thursday.
After the goat — described as shy but very nice — was captured, no one came to claim him. It’s believed Buzi is around one and a half years old.
Dr. Jo Jarred, the Animal Foundation veterinarian, said goats are notorious escape artists.
“They always escape, so a goat escaping is not a big deal. A goat escaping, I guess, in downtown is kind of unique,” said Jarred. “Again, it just reinforces that you have to have the right setup or they will find a way out, and then if they’re super scared, they’re just going to keep running away.”
It was recommended that Buzi have a barn-type area with plenty of space to run. It also may take him some time to get comfortable with people and other animals, caregivers said.
NewsNation affiliate KLAS did not provide any further information about Buzi’s adoption.
