This beagle is determined to break free.

The Isle Of Wight County Animal Shelter in Windsor, Virginia shared a video of a skilled pup named Buttermilk on its Facebook page on Tuesday. Somehow, the good dog with bad intentions managed to climb to the top of its enclosure with just her paws.

"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 shelter wrote on its page. "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!"

Buttermilk is now housed in a different enclosure, but not for long, because in the same post the shelter announced that she has found a loving family.

The page also insisted that Buttermilk was unharmed in the escape attempt, so chill.
