Back in December 2021, Envigo, a beagle breeding facility in Cumberland VA, was uncovered by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The company was found breeding beagles to use them for medical testing and research. The conditions of this facility were completely inhumane.

As of June 2022, Envigo announced that it would close its facility in Cumberland County. But for many there was still the question of where would all of the puppies go. There were over five thousand dogs and puppies left with undetermined fate.

With this news of closing Envigo, many were happy and relieved that the long torture and pain these puppies went through was finally over.

A month later, over four thousand puppies were removed from the facility and brought to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Over the course of 2 months, beagles continued to be removed from the facility.

Today, the puppies have been and are still being rehomed all over the world. Here are some of the few happy furry friends in their new homes.
