Valerie's 529-Day Journey

When Valerie the dachshund disappeared on Kangaroo Island, her family feared the worst.

Against all odds, she survived 529 days alone in the wild before she was found and returned home thanks to the tireless efforts, persistence, and care of Kangala Wildlife Rescue.

Her remarkable survival story inspired us to create this campaign: honoring Valerie’s resilience while helping Kangala continue their lifesaving work for Australia’s native wildlife.

Heroes Behind the Mission

Kangala Wildlife Rescue is a small, dedicated team based on Kangaroo Island. Every day, they respond to calls for injured, orphaned, and displaced native animals from kangaroos and koalas to echidnas, birds, and possums.

While Valerie’s rescue was unusual, Kangala’s mission is constant: to give vulnerable animals a second chance.
