WATCH: German Shepherd breaks out of Apple Valley Animal Shelter because she misses her owner

(FOX 11) - A dog desperate to find her owner makes a daring escape out of an animal shelter in Apple Valley.
    
After hearing alarms go off the shelter staff at first thought they had an intruder.
    
But this is what they discovered after reviewing the surveillance video.
    
This German Shepherd named 'Ginger' had managed to jump out of her kennel and open three shelter doors to freedom.
    
Shelter officials believe the three-year-old Shepherd was trying to find her owner.
    
Ginger was brought to the shelter five days ago by her owner who became homeless.
    
And Ginger has been found.  She has been put into a more secure kennel.
    
The Apple Valley Animal Shelter says, 'They hope she will be adopted preferably by someone who knows this breed.'
