Security video caught Ginger, the German shepherd, climbing to the top of her kennel and breaking free.
“Everybody believes she was trying to make her way back to her old owner because she was found close to where her old home was,” the shelter’s manager Gina Whiteside said.
Ginger busted out only a few hours after her former owner dropped her off at the shelter because he could no longer take care of her.
The 2-year-old dog opened three doors to get out, left teeth marks on a door handle and proof that where there’s a will, there’s a way.
“As she was coming out he door, what we saw is this quick little glance back at the shelter saying: ‘See ya!’ ” Whiteside said.
During Ginger’s great escape, she set off the shelter’s motion sensors, which alerted security.
“The staff came in. There were phones off the counter. Everything was kind of messed up,” Whiteside said.
That was because Ginger jumped onto the counter and stopped to pose for the camera.
“We just want to honor the owner’s wishes. It was difficult for him to turn her in and make that decision. Now, our job is to find her a home that’s going to be permanent,” Whiteside added.

I want to break free, what an amazing dog, it's a great pity that the owner surrendered her, shame on him.
smart dog....she deserves a good home
Some one should have told that owner that some food banks. And other groups are willing to help in caring for a dog when an owner cannot. It does depend on the circumstances, to some extent. With shelters so full and the economy being so difficult those who care try to help those in need. Pity the owner doesn't realize that.
😢
I think people should refrain from bashing the owners all the time… They don't know the circumstances and they already said it was very difficult for the owner to surrender her…… I think it's really sad… He probably misses her too… I don't think people should make it more difficult… If you want to make suggestions to other people who might be concerned and feel they have to surrender their dogs, that's fine but please don't direct them to the owner who had to give them up it breaks my heart doubly… Maybe she just wanted to get out of there because shelters are terrible places, even the best of them…… Just those people wouldn't want to be in their prison selling no matter how nice it was
