The Armstrong County woman accused of abandoning her dog at Pittsburgh International in August is heading to trial on animal cruelty and other charges.

44-year-old Allison Gaiser allegedly left her French bulldog unattended in a stroller near the entrance to long term parking before flying to a resort in Mexico.

Gaiser waived her preliminary hearing Monday and her arraignment is set for December 1.

Allegheny County Police say Gaiser is being charged with a misdemeanor count of animal cruelty as well as summary violations for animal cruelty, animal neglect and abandonment of animals by owner.

The dog is doing well.
