She named her Zelda and resolved to do everything she could to help her recover.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">Every single day, Raiford worked with Zelda to get her back on her feet. She fed her a nutrient-rich diet and did physical therapy exercises as well as cold laser therapy to stimulate her weakened muscles.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"2\">\u201cShe had a will to live and she didn\u2019t give up,\u201d Raiford said. \u201cThat was what I kept [saying], \u2018As long as she doesn\u2019t give up, I will keep fighting with her and for her.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ParagraphBodyTextstyles__BodyText-sc-zv221u-0 eJmGWQ page-element paragraph undefined \" data-element-type=\"ParagraphBodyText\" data-element-index=\"7\">\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">For weeks, Zelda barely moved. Raiford tried to stay hopeful, but wasn\u2019t sure whether Zelda would ever recover.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">Then, about three weeks after Zelda arrived at the rehabilitation center, Raiford started noticing her pushing herself up with her legs. She was trying to stand.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"2\">A few days later, a miracle happened: Zelda stood up and started walking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ParagraphBodyTextstyles__BodyText-sc-zv221u-0 eJmGWQ page-element paragraph undefined \" data-element-type=\"ParagraphBodyText\" data-element-index=\"9\">\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">Every day, Zelda was able to walk a little farther, stand up a little longer. Before long, she was getting antsy, pacing around her enclosure. That\u2019s how Raiford knew she was ready to go. Eight weeks after her intake, Raiford decided it was time to set her free.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">Before releasing her, Raiford allowed researchers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecanidproject.com\/\">The Canid Project<\/a> to put a comfortable, non-invasive collar on Zelda for a coyote tracking research project. As an added bonus, Raiford will get to keep track of Zelda as she roams her natural environment.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"2\">Raiford invited the woman who first saved Zelda as well as Zelda\u2019s vet to be there for her release as they\u2019d been instrumental to her survival and recovery. It was an incredibly emotional day for all of them, especially Raiford. As she opened Zelda\u2019s kennel, she remembered the journey she\u2019d taken with this strong-willed coyote.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"3\">\u201cI felt tears swelling up in my eyes because I was looking straight at her,\u201d Raiford said. \u201cAnd you could just see that determination in her eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-element-type=\"ParagraphImage\" data-element-index=\"10\" class=\"ParagraphImagestyles__ImageContainer-sc-puj0e1-0 hHKvH page-element paragraph-image \"><picture class=\"picture-tag picture-tag--lazy\" data-testid=\"picture-tag\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.thrillist.com\/v1\/image\/3190282\/792x515\/scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assets3.thrillist.com\/v1\/image\/3190282\/1584x1030\/scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg 2000w\" alt=\"coyote leaving kennel\" width=\"792\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 515\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"coyote leaving kennel\" width=\"792\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 515\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Caption-sc-1do4sd3-0 kEEwas caption__paragraph-image\"><span class=\"Credit-sc-ke5nu1-0 jmSitH\">Geaux Wild Rehab<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ParagraphBodyTextstyles__BodyText-sc-zv221u-0 eJmGWQ page-element paragraph undefined \" data-element-type=\"ParagraphBodyText\" data-element-index=\"11\">\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">As soon as Zelda stepped back out into nature, she knew just what to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ParagraphBodyTextstyles__BodyText-sc-zv221u-0 eJmGWQ page-element paragraph undefined \" data-element-type=\"ParagraphBodyText\" data-element-index=\"13\">\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">\u201cYou could just tell she knew where she was,\u201d Raiford said. \u201cShe was back home.
