I think that question might be what I'd look into--who might make a legal claim on the dog. There would be no legal consequences to the spay if legally your friend owned the dog. And if she's housing, vetting and providing for the dog's other needs, your friend could well be the owner at this point. But to be sure, she might want to consult with a lawyer.
