GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Humane Society of West Michigan is excited to welcome 25 new arrivals into the pack.
According to the Humane Society of West Michigan’s Facebook page, several beagles are now having fun in Grand Rapids after being rescued from a testing facility in Virginia.
These 25 dogs are among the 4,000 beagles removed in July from the Virginia testing facility, Envigo, which had previously been accused of multiple animal welfare violations.
The beagles were reported as living in “prison-like conditions," with many starving and malnourished.
The Humane Society said that all the beagles would be transported to shelters around the country over the course of 60 days.
West Michigan’s Humane Society reports that the staff is working to ensure that the beagles receive health and behavior assessments, as well as any other required care before they become available for adoption.
Applications to adopt a beagle can be found onShelterluv's website. Donations for their rehabilitation can be made online. Anyone interested in fostering a dog can also sign up online.
