ROCKAWAY, N.J. (AP) – A stray beagle mix that cheated death in an Alabama dog pound’s gas chamber is up for adoption in New Jersey.
Volunteers began looking for a new home for the dog known as Daniel after the animal walked out unscathed from the carbon monoxide administered by the Animal Control Department in Florence, Ala., on Oct. 3.
The nonprofit Eleventh Hour Rescue group arranged to have the dog flown to New Jersey, where it is awaiting adoption at its shelter in Rockaway.
Volunteer Roger Keyser told The Star-Ledger of Newark the dog “has got to have some destiny.”
Phil Stevenson, a Florence city spokesman, said Friday that no one is sure why Daniel was the lone survivor.
