A team effort has led to the capture of the runaway wallaby from the town of Mina.

In a Facebook post by Small Town Shelter Inc. in Sherman, it was announced the wallaby was “now safe at home, in his pen, with a newly fixed gate, and his family!”

Credit for the capture was given to Beth Thompson and Vicki Cusimano of Great Dames Trap & Recover. “We confirmed the area where the wallaby was frequenting yesterday, and Beth and Vicki had him in a trap by tonight at 10:40 p.m.!” the post noted.

“We are ever so thankful, and still shocked and amazed that they did it so quickly. These two don’t mess around!

“It has been a crazy, chaotic couple of days, but we sure are glad it was a positive outcome.

“It is pretty unlikely that a situation such as this will ever present itself to small town shelter again, but if it does, we will be ready!”

The formerly loose wallaby near was garnering plenty of attention on social media. Charlie Sorce, the wallaby’s owner for the last month, said the marsupial is about a year old, brown in color and a foot and a half tall.

“It got out underneath a gate,” Sorce told The Post-Journal on Wednesday. “It shouldn’t have, but it did. Now it’s gone up the road and is stretching its legs. They are nocturnal, so they sleep during the day and are out at night.”

Sorce was working with Kelly Thornton, owner of Small Town Shelter in Sherman, to corral the marsupial
