The rescue group coordinated the transport of a very lucky dog from the south. The male beagle, Daniel, was flown north from Florence, Alabama by Pilots n Paws after a failed euthanasia attempt at an animal control office. 18 dogs were placed in that gas chamber, and shelter workers were blown away when they opened the door and Daniel walked out – unharmed and wagging his tail.

Daniel will soon be available for adoption from Eleventh Hour Rescue.
