Valerie the dachshund is found safe and well after 529 days on the run on South Australian island
Valerie the miniature dachshund, who went missing on Kangaroo Island way back in 2023, has been rescued by conservationists.
Georgia Gardner and her partner, Josh Fishlock, from Albury in New South Wales, were holidaying on the island in November 2023 when Valerie escaped from her pen at their campsite at Stokes Bay before running into the scrub.
Despite some initial sightings and extensive search efforts, Valerie was not seen again until recently.
“She never left my side. She was not a very outside, rough-and-tough dog. To think that she even went one night outside in the rain, oh my gosh. To think that she’s gone a year and a half is incredible.”
