  • Kangala Wildlife Rescue said Valerie had been safely captured after 529 days and was in good health.

  • Valerie escaped her enclosure at a campsite in Stokes Bay during a family holiday in November 2023.

  • Valerie was sighted alive in March, after which rescuers used cameras, surveillance, traps and luring methods.

  • The search was estimated to involve more than 1,000 volunteer hours and about 5,000 kilometres of travel.
  • When a dog gets lost... once that dog realises the stress that's going on, they basically have to fend for themselves.
