Searching for Owner of Red Standard Poodle

Looking for the owner of a red standard poodle that was left at a gas station at (or near?) Two Rivers Casino, Davenport, Washington (Northwest of Spokane). Owner was reportedly driving a motor home and had stopped there for fuel. Dog was found dragging a retractable leash. Appears well taken care of, groomed.

There is a Facebook group dedicated to finding this dog's owner:

Red Poodle Facebook Group


If you aren't on Facebook and have information about this dog, post here and I will relay the information.

Here's the description of what happened, copied from the description of the Facebook group:

We created this group to have a permanent record and post to share, as posts about this dog continually get deleted. This dog was found at gas station at Two Rivers Casino is 509-725-0748. This is the story we have gleaned from now deleted posts.

Reportedly a man in a motor home asked the Two Rivers Casino gas station if he could let his dog out while pumping gas. Some time later gas station workers noticed this poodle running around with a leash on. They tied the dog up and left the dog there 6 hours to see if owner would come back. They did not call AC or police about the dog or the missing man in motor home. A nice lady came by and took the picture of the dog and posted it to Facebook. That was the only post made about the dog and people started sharing it.

The manager decided she'd take the dog home and keep it if no owner came forward. After two days of questions, we found out who had the dog, the gas station manager, and that she took the dog in for a scan two days later. There was no chip according to vet.

    If the owner hadn't checked back as soon as they noticed the dog was gone, this dog has found a much better home. This isn't a dog that wandered away and was found miles from it's last known location. This dog was found where the owner knows he let it out, at a place where it would be easy to start looking. The owner isn't looking for the dog, so unless it is a kidnapped dog that escaped it's captors, this is a search that neither dog or the dog's owner wants to be successful. Thankfully it appears the dog now has a new and better home. This is a potential tragedy, that actually has a happy ending.
