The Humane Society of the United States worked with the United States Department of Justice on a transfer plan to remove all of the approximately 4,000 remaining beagles housed at Envigo’s facility in Cumberland, Virginia. At this time, we are connecting with our shelter and rescue partners and preparing to take on the monumental process of securing placement for these dogs. The transfer plan was jointly submitted to the Court for approval by Envigo, the Department of Justice and the Humane Society of the United States. Now that the Court has approved the joint transfer plan, we and our partners are preparing to move quickly to place these beagles in loving homes.
