Woman charged over abandoning dog at Las Vegas airport

A woman was charged with animal abandonment and resisting arrest after allegedly leaving her dog at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on February 2nd. Police found the golden doodle/mini poodle, nicknamed Jet Blue, tied to a baggage sizer near the JetBlue ticket counter after travelers alerted authorities. The woman was stopped at a departure gate after airline staff denied her boarding due to insufficient documentation for the dog to travel as a service animal. She claimed the dog had a tracking device and would return to her. Jet Blue was initially placed with Animal Protective Services, then transferred to Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas, which has received numerous adoption applications.
