MISSING DACHSHUND VALERIE SPOTTED AFTER MORE THAN 500 DAYS AT LARGE ON KANGAROO ISLAND
Valerie, the miniature dachshund missing for more than 500 days on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, has been filmed sniffing around a trap this week.
Kangala Wildlife Rescue, the organisation leading the search for the pooch, posted footage on Monday, 14 April, showing Valerie on a visit to the trap site.
The rescue set up the site with toys and her bed from home. They hope, after tests and modifications, they will be able to use a remote trigger system for the trap to secure Valerie safely.
However, a rescue has not yet been possible due to the abundance of wildlife and Valerie’s constantly changing schedule, the group said.
