Beagle Adopted After Video Of Her Scaling Shelter Cage Goes Viral

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A beagle named Buttermilk has been adopted from a Virginia shelter after a video of her scaling her cage went viral.

"For some strays, we can only assume how they come into our care... however lately Buttermilk has shown staff just how she probably ended up with us," the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter wrote on Facebook.

Buttermilk was not injured and she was also was moved into a different style kennel after her climb to ensure she wouldn't try it again and hurt herself, the shelter says.

Naughty Beagle Buttermilk

For some strays, we can only assume how they come into our care... however lately Buttermilk has shown staff just how she probably ended up with us. Whoever adopts this cutie is going to need to keep a regular eye on her! She may be tiny but she is MIGHTY and has super climbing powers! **NO BEAGLES WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO** Buttermilk was not harmed in any way from her climb and staff gave her a prompt exam afterwards. She also was moved into a different style kennel to prevent her from continuous climbs and escapes. Her stay won't be long in that kennel as she does in fact have an approved adopter who will be picking her up after her spay surgery this week!

The beagle's adoption was already lined up before the video was watched more than 100,000 times on Facebook.
