Dog abandoned at Iowa airport after owner was told he couldn’t be taken on flight over kennel

A dog was abandoned at an Iowa airport after its owner was told that the female puppyCouldn't be taken on the flight because they didn't have the right type of kennel

The dog was found tied up outside the airport on December 29th, after her owner couldn't get on a flight.

The rescue centre was called to the area by airport staff after the owner tried to go through the flight process without the proper kennel.

The owner tried to get on the flight, but was turned down, and then returned and boarded the plane without the dog, according to Mr. Colvin.

The incident is being investigated and the owner has been identified.

It wasn't very long that the dog was tied up outside the airport He said that the weather was better than it was a few days before.

As the investigation is still going on, Allie isn't up for adoption. The one-year-old dog has been through a lot, but seems to be doing well.

The dog is very friendly and loved everyone from the airport staff that came out, brought her a blanket, stayed with her, gave her all the attention until our animal services officers came out and picked her up. She's very nice.

She probably won't be reclaimed after the investigation, he said. She will be up for adoption when the probe is done.

Abandoning an animal is a misdemeanour in Iowa and the level of punishment depends on the harm done to the animal. Penalties can be as high as $8,540 and as low as 30 days in jail.

Unfortunately, abandonment does happen a lot and for various reasons, and this is the first time that Mr Colvin has dealt with an animal at an airport.

A lot of people travel with their animals. He said that it means that they have to prepare. They have to look ahead, find out what the requirements are, and make sure they have the necessary documents.

"Allie is going to be a great home," Mr. Colvin said. There's no question about it.

She is going to get a good home with this attention because we do a lot of adoptions at the Animal Rescue League. He said that she would have a list of people that wanted to adopt her.
