The puppy - Toffee - somehow fell into the inches-wide space and authorities had been working to free the dog since about 5pm Thursday.
A rescue worker had tried to make his way into the hole partially around 8pm on Friday to help use a rescue pole in the hole, according to WAFF.
The hole varies in size but appears to not be large enough for a human to climb into.
