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 "Daniel" after the dog walked out unscathed from the carbon monoxide administered by the Animal Control Department in Florence, Ala., on Oct. 3.

The Eleventh Hour Rescue group arranged to have the dog flown to New Jersey.

The dog is awaiting adoption at the nonprofit group's shelter in Rockaway.

4. Woah!

I've never seen a black RC before. I didn't know they came in that color.

He's a Belgian sheepdog. I just made up Onyx Collie as a mischievous response to the query, "Is that a black Collie?"

He's an Onyx Collie. And see that white spot on his chest? Well, that's a star-sapphire Onyx Collie."

What an angel, I'm glad he is up for adoption. Precious little being.

3. Here's hoping that little guy gets a gooood home.

I have to take my fur babies to the vet today for their vaccines and other stuff. It kills me to think so many animals are put down because others won't care for them. This story, of one who escaped, is quite heartening.

And I can't believe that it is still legal in this country to euthanize animals with gas.

One day, may we live in a world where they all (humans and animals) have a home!
