Anyone who has walked through an animal shelter can tell you: it’s a sad sight. While the animals are usually well cared for, it’s hard to see so many animals all wanting you to take them home.

When a dog named Ginger was brought to Apple Valley Animal Shelter by her owner who could no longer take care of her, she was heartbroken. Her bond with that person was so strong that she clearly didn’t want to part ways. Finally, she had had enough and then this happened…

Ginger was devastated when her owner dropped her off at the Apple Valley Animal Shelter in California. They clearly had a tight bond, but the owner simply couldn’t care for the pup anymore.

Parting ways once and for all proved to be a difficult task for Ginger. That’s when she decided it was time to take matters into her own hands…

One day, Ginger found a way to escape over the top of her kennel. Her getaway was captured by surveillance cameras in the shelter.

Somehow, she was able to get through two sets of doors…

…which led her to the lobby of the shelter. Once she got there, she climbed atop the front desk and weighed her options.

Then she made it through one more door before escaping back out into the world!

Ginger was found three days later wandering around aimlessly, presumably looking for her owner.

That must be one determined dog to make it through all of those doors! Hopefully she’ll find a forever home soon so she never has a reason to make a break for it ever again.
