A puppy that miraculously survived being euthanized has now found a forever home after the animal shelter was inundated with applications to adopt him.

The 7 to 8-month-old puppy named Rudolph was given a lethal injection at an overcrowded Oklahoma animal shelter earlier this month. 

Despite the injection, the Lab American Pitbull mix defied the odds and miraculously woke up soon after.

The vet opted not to euthanize Rudolph again and his survival story quickly made headlines. 

Kings Harvest Pet Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Davenport, Iowa, asked if they could take Rudolph in until he could find a forever home.  

'He's a miracle dog, absolutely,' shelter employee Kylie Jo Mitchell told WQAD. 

'I've never heard of anything like this ever, this is a first.

'He was euthanized and when they returned to that room they came back and Rudolph was alive.' 

Mitchell said the adoption interest in Rudolph was overwhelming. 

Rudolph has since been taken in by an unidentified man.

'Rudolph is heading to his forever home. It was a tough decision with so many wonderful applications but Rudolph fell in love with this young man and the feeling was mutual,' the shelter said in a post.  

One man who was among those trying to adopt Rudolph was Jacob Hommer. 

Hommer and his family have been raising dogs to live with combat wounded veterans and Purple Heart recipients.

@KingstonsMom  What a story!  That sweet doggie was never meant to die.  I'm sure he'll be the best pet ever!

OMG!!!!

I could've lived the rest of my life without reading that!

It may be true, but I personally will have nightmares thinking about this.

I would bet that other animal lovers will too. It may be true, but it's extremely disturbing to realize/think about.

I know that you're a very kind poster and one of our avid animal lovers.

You were just stating facts you knew about, but sometimes the facts are too brutal to hear.

I appreciate that you removed the heartbreaking post.
