Animal Rescue League of El Paso posted on Facebook, "Bailey is now safe. To all those who searched, spotted, called, hoped - we thank you. As we knew, dogs are incredible. Bailey made her own way back to ARL, and rang our ring doorbell at 1:15am saying she wanted in. Staff rushed to the shelter and put Bailey in her run. She was very happy, and we were too. Thank you."

The animal shelter explained on Facebook that Bailey was just letting everyone know that shew as home and that she wanted inside.

The shelter wrote in the comments, "This girl is amazing. Love the ring doorbell camera. At 1:42 this morning Bailey was letting everyone know she was home and wanted in. Sad not sad. She lived at the shelter for soooo long this was home to her. She felt safe here. When she got loose she was on a mission to get home. Now we need to decide what's our next step for this girls journey. So happy that she's home safe."
