Rescue dog refuses to stay in her kennel, escaping in the most unusual way

By Elodie Carpentier

Refusing to be cooped up in her kennel, one clever rescue dog has developed a habit of climbing the metal bars to perch right on top of her enclosure.

An unexpected climber

Maya, a five-year-old Husky, has left staff and volunteers at the Richmond Animal Care & Control rescue centre in the US in complete shock.

One morning, as an animal care officer walked into the kennels, she was stopped dead in her tracks.

Instead of finding the sweet dog waiting patiently behind her gate, she spotted her standing proudly right at the very top of her run.

Naturally, the staff member wanted to figure out how on earth the clever dog had reached such a height. It turned out Maya had simply climbed the metal fencing with baffling agility.

Going viral online

After being shared on social media and picked up by The Dodo, the story of this acrobatic dog has melted the hearts of internet users worldwide. Beyond just being a fun viral moment, this kind of exposure is often the best way for these extraordinary rescue residents to find their perfect forever home.
