"They Don't Know What Grass Is": Over 4000 Beagles Got Rescued From A Medical Facility, And Now They Are In Dire Need Of New Homes

Currently, roughly 4,000 beagles are in the process of being rescued from Envigo, a facility that breeds beagles for medical research in the U.S.

The company was accused of shocking violations of the Animal Welfare Act at the breeding facility

Envigo even went as far as denying veterinary treatment for easily treated conditions, and instead opted for putting the dogs down

Nursing mother beagles were denied food; the food that they did receive contained maggots, mold, and other things

In the midst of all of this, the Humane Society of the United States called out to their partners in hopes of finding the dogs new homes

Over 400 dogs were rescued just this week alone and are in urgent need of homes and rehabilitation

“We don’t know what condition these poor pups will arrive in, but we want to make sure that we give them every possible chance at living happy, healthy lives,” a Facebook post said

Donations are currently being raised in hopes of helping the dogs as soon as possible

As of now, the Humane Society of West Michigan is holding a fundraiser and working to rescue, medically treat and relocate the dogs

The process requires an enormous undertaking that needs the help of veterinarians, volunteers, and drivers

This fundraiser will help support the medical and behavioral needs that these dogs will require, and support other rescues like them

Any amount donated will make a huge difference to these dogs who are finally getting the love and care they've always deserved
