The Humane Society of Broward County will help 40 beagles rescued from a medical research facility in Virginia find new homes in South Florida.
4,000 beagles were rescued from unsafe conditions at a medical facility in Virginia last month. They are coming from the Envigo facility in Cumberland, Virginia where they were allegedly bred to be sold to labs for animal experiments.
The transfer plan for the beagles comes as a result of a lawsuit filed against Envigo by the Department of Justice in May, alleging Animal Welfare Act violations at the facility. Repeated federal inspections have resulted in dozens of violations, including findings that some dogs had been “euthanized” without first receiving anesthesia, that dogs had received inadequate veterinary care and insufficient food, and that they were living in unsanitary conditions.
The dogs will be available for adoption from Monday, Aug. 8 to Friday Aug. 12 by appointment only.
If you are interested in adopting one of the beagles, complete the application by clicking on this link.
Applications will be reviewed, and appointments scheduled for those applicants who are the best matches for these dogs.
