Jax, Stafford Twp’s Car-Crash Runaway Dog, Reunited With Owner

15 days after running off following a car crash on the Long beach Island causeway, Jax the dog was reunited with his owner Monday night.

On June 24, Gabrielle McMillan, 23, was driving east on Route 72 in Stafford Township when she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a telephone pole. Her car rolled over and Jax, a boxer-rottweiler mix,  escaped and ran off.

McMillan was hospitalized briefly for non-life threatening injuries.

Despite numerous efforts by the Stafford Twp. Animal Control and several sightings  over the next two weeks, all efforts to find Jax were unsuccessful.

Police update the search efforts on Facebook...
