1,500 beagles will get new lives, warm laps after release from research facility

🐶 From Cages to Couches

The beagles were housed at a breeding and research facility operated by , a company that has faced widespread scrutiny over alleged violations of animal welfare standards. Following a federal investigation and legal action, authorities intervened and arranged for the removal of the animals.

Many of the dogs had never experienced life outside kennels. Simple things—like walking on grass, hearing household noises, or interacting with people—will be entirely new to them.
