ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – Animal Friends, an animal shelter in Pittsburgh, has given an update on a dog who was allegedly abandoned at Pittsburgh International Airport. “Our Humane Society Police Officers are actively investigating this case in conjunction with the Allegheny County Police. We are unfortunately unable to share specifics of the dog or the situation. We expect the dog to be moved to an experienced foster home for the duration of his stay with us,” the shelter said in a news release. For the last week, the rescue shelter has been caring for the 7-year-old dog. Allegheny County Police said the dog’s owner abandoned him at the airport after she was told she didn’t have the right carrier for the dog.
