Zest Has Been Recovered

Zest is a 55lb husky-aussie mix that slipped her collar/leash while walking with her new foster family shortly after arriving with the family on the evening of Sunday, November 21st. The foster family rightly notified the rescue, who immediately set an email blast in motion. By early the next morning, the email was received by an AWOL Dogs volunteer, who shared it with the group. One member was able to begin checking the shelters online via petharbor.com, and found that Zest had made her way to the shelter pretty quickly. She reached out to the rescue with the contact information from the email, and let her know that Zest was waiting at the Fairfax County shelter for her. The rescue volunteer picked Zest up by the afternoon, and she was back with her foster family less than 24 hours after taking off. But not before having a run-in with a skunk, apparently!

Zest looks happy to be out of the shelter -- again!
